Would not recommend. I found bugs in the shower and room was lot smaller than how pictures appeared online. Also, stray cats roam property. Property overall is not in good condition
Natacha
Unclean room, unsafe, overpriced, not as advertised, terrible staff, do not recommend.
Peter J
I wish I could give the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages a perfect 5-stars but check-in was a disaster. Check-in was to start at 3 pm, but when my wife and I got there just before 3 pm, no one was there to check us in until 3:20 pm. Then we discovered our room at the Inn was different than what we had reserved. The room itself was ok, just a bed, dresser and two chairs, pus bath. The breakfast was excellent, home-made quiches and croissants with jam, OJ, coffee, melon. So mixed review.
Aleksa
It was a lovely stay. Mrs Dominque is so kind and we had an amazing weekend! Walkable neighborhood
Stephanie
The hot, homemade breakfast was the highlight of our stay, as was the garden. The accommodations were cozy and quaint, complete with antique furnishings and some modern amenities like a small fridge. We would definitely stay there again.
Mikayla
Such a cute spot! We booked the Garden room which was adorable and very private. We loved all the skylights and windows with trees and plants surrounding us. It was nice to wake up to the birds chirping and a phenomenal breakfast delivered to our door! The croissants are to die for, I think they make them in house!! We loved our stay

This is our 4th visit to the Secret Garden. The courtyard where you can eat breakfast is absolutely beautiful with all the flowers blooming. Breakfast was delicious with very fluffy croissants, fruit, quiche, fresh baked bread like pumpkin bread, and coffee and tea. The rooms are charming.

Bad parking.
Troy
Quaint and charming. Very quiet, dog friendly in a neighborhood
Michael
While I'm glad there's available parking, the parking area is a tight area that makes getting in and out a bit tricky. Sometimes, you need another person to navigate you out of there.
Lucie
Sweet cottage with charm and personality. Not just a boring hotel room. We had two rooms to spread out. Pretty gardens. Lovely staff who accommodated special dietary requests for breakfast.
Note that it’s a drive to the beach and main shopping. Not the most convenient part of town but walkable to some shops and dining (like McConnells ice cream).
The rooms are more vintage which we loved. French press coffee was delicious. Our room also had a small fridge and a microwave

We loved our room, very clean & quaint and the bed was very comfortable. The room was clean and nice for an overnight stay. I would have liked bars in the bathtub ti make it safer getting in & out of the tub.

I loved everything about this beautiful house and its gardens. Dominique was an amazing host!!
Roger
A secret treasure!
The accommodations are quaint, charming, and comfortable. Some family members were in the main house and other family units were in cottages. It was perfect for our needs. We felt at home and welcomed. The breakfast was gourmet faire and absolutely delicious and plentiful.
Sam
Dominique and her staff are friendly and welcoming. The Secret Garden has a feel of staying at a friends home. Breakfasts are delicious, and location is very convienent to most of what Santa Barbara has to offer, a great and quiet walking neighborhood too. It is important to note there is a sweet cat named Peanut living there, but if you have allergies, be aware!
William
Charming
Charming bed and breakfast. Owner was very welcoming and breakfast excellent. Our only complaint was a broken window shade which resulted in a warm room on a hot day. However, the air conditioning was able to control the temperature, once turned on.

Great location and very convenient to amenities especially restaurants. A very walkable area and the parking in the rear of the property was great.

The only thing that gave us pause was the daily change of towels, since California has been experiencing a serious drought. Everything else was excellent: property, staff, host, breakfast. We visit Santa Barbara yearly, and would stay here again.

Whatever
Did not get choice of rooms, as was last room...but did not care for Bobwhite room, inside house. It was back to back with only other room for rent in house, noisy inconsiderate travelers...but also was right next to kitchen...so no sleeping past 7 am...when Host began meal prep. Also did not like using bath right next to outdoor patio where literally everyone stood mere feet away as you tried to...anything...not cool at all!!! Would nor opt for that rm!! Also, no good ventilation, a ceiling fan about to fall on your head, or an extremely noisy window A/C...bed! Agh!!! It was advertised as a Queen, but is more like a sad double. Literally spent an hour the next day looking for anywhere else to stay!
Dan
Great choice while in SB
Secret Garden was a treat. Initially we wanted to stay closer to downtown but glad we opted for the unique and romantic choice of the Garden Room at SGIC. We had a private garden with blooming flowers and a loveseat on a deck to enjoy outside of our room. The bed was amazing and we slept great. I wish I had gotten the name of our host but she was very pleasant. Bfast was inquired about the night before and delivered on time and each day included fantastic quiche w fruit.
Verified traveler
Perfect and cozy little place close to plenty of places to eat and things to do. Dominique, the proprietor is lovely and kind and her breakfasts are delicious. We would definitely return to the secret garden if we come back to the west coast.
Thank you Dominique!

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 place
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!

I was very impressed with Secret Garden. My two room cottage was perfect and the staff who assisted me were exceptionally helpful and eager to be of service. I would recommend this locally situated B&B with no reservations.
You asked about problems. The knob to the heater was not functional but I don't know if I told them about it.

This is the perfect place for a quick little stay in Santa Barbara, it's close to the town center and beaches but away enough that you feel in your little world, the place is clean, the staff is great, they offer hot beverages and pastries around the clock, it was very nice coming back after the theater and being able to have a cup of hot coco. Beds are super comfortable and rooms are cosy. Watch out for the cat, she can be super friendly one minute and turn on you the next, but we were warned ;)

Secret Garden Inn and Cottages
This is a lovely setting for the cottages. The owner was very gracious and had an evening snack for the guests. It seemed much like a European bed and breakfast.
The room was very attractive, clean, and comfortable.
The only confusing thing initially is where the free parking is located. If you stay here, get directions for the parking before you go.
I would highly recommend this as a great choice.

Injury and No Partial or Full Refund
I made reservations for three nights, but had a bad fall and fractured my knee cap. I am in a immobilitzaitio splint and cannot drive. I asked for a refund or a partial refund because I could not be there becasue of injury and Domonique absolutely refused in no uncertain terms to refund any of my money. I was shocked and disheartened because I have been there several times. Needless to say, I will never to there again.

Delightful stay in a charming cottage nestled in a garden that reminded me of Monet. Dominique is a wonderful hostess! Definitely recommend staying here!

Beautiful slice of vintage California
A really delightful place to stay, beautiful gardens, pretty cottages, in a quiet neighborhood, with a delicious homemade breakfast, and big room. The only reason I don't give it five stars was due to the bed and pillows not being quite as comfortable as I'd hoped. Also it's a bit of a hike to get to State Street, which is fine, but for some reason I thought it was closer to the center of town. That said - plenty of private parking and easy access to e.g. the Mission, the highway, etc. I would go back and I would recommend it to others.
Verified traveler
It was a quiet oasis in the heart of Santa Barbara. Each cabin has enough distance between it to offer privacy without being isolated. The cabin itself was clean and comfortable. The full complimentary breakfast was very good and off-street parking a nice addition. The WiFi was a little slow at times but definitely worth the price overall.

A nice and quiet area close to all major destinations. Everything is done to help one to relax from a busy tourist or business day.
