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.

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.

I loved this place! Wish I could’ve stayed for a week. Breakfast was served to my private patio, and it was delicious. The Jacuzzi hot tub on the patio was such a treat. I will definitely come back when I’m in Santa Barbara.

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
