This is a charming and peaceful bed and breakfast surrounded by pretty gardens. The breakfast was delicious and the convenience of private parking made our stay even better.

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.

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.

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

Our favorite place to stay in Santa Barbara. The only drawback is the parking but it is what it is and can be worked out.
