Secret Garden Inn and Cottages

10/10. Will be back.

Really nice and a personal stay. Few blocks from downtown and definitely staying here again.

The room was lovely and clean. Breakfast was excellent. Great location The one negative was the smell of cat urine when you enter the main house. It did not smell in room but was quite strong.

Had lovely time. Very good location. The hostess was nice. Will visit again in the future.

Had a great stay at the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages. Great location, near down-town Santa Barbara and tourist attractions. Lovely breakfast offered in beautiful gardens. Private rooms with near by parking. Non-contact check in.

Absolutely amazing get-away. Walking distance to downtown Main Street. The lady put lots of thoughts into making her guests comfortable. The highlight was the delicious breakfast delivered to our secluded backyard garden, where we got to enjoy with our dog in total tranquility. We can't wait to go back!

We had a lovely stay.

I liked everything about this place and owner and chef! This is the best experience! Hundred percent I will be back and enjoy the company of the owner and chef. They have the best personalities and you feel right at home and cozy and it’s so clean and beautiful! The food is five star rated! A variety of food and with special accommodations if needed. The garden is well-kept and gorgeous! I love playing the piano and entertaining the guests as well! The Secret garden House and bedroom was beautifully decorated! I loved the hot tub first thing in the morning! I was able to watch the beautiful trees and listen to the birds as I soaked in the hot tub. Overall experience was excellent!

Cute private little cottages, friendly staff. The rooms are very small, and a bit out dated, but comfortable and clean nonetheless. One thing that made me a bit uncomfortable is that I was getting ready to go sit in our jacuzzi on our private patio, and a staff walked right into the balcony without knocking or anything and just started cleaning the jacuzzi. What if I had been enjoying my patio or jacuzzi in the nude? You’d think knocking would be a must! One other small complaint is that the walls are thin, so although it’s a private entrance to each cottage, you do share walls and can easily hear your neighbors. Otherwise clean, nice staff and cute little garden to relax in, they other breakfast which is nice but they only serve quiche and breads so you may want to plan on going otherwise for breakfast anyway. They do have yummy baked treats in the evenings though, the brownies were good!

Our cottage was in beautiful sunny garden full of trees and flowers. Nice quiet place but not too far from downtown .
