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

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.

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!

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.
