Loved this adorable bed and breakfast! We arrived very late and everything was taken care of for us with simple instructions for how to get in. Our room was inside the main house, but still quiet and private. Breakfast was delicious both mornings with several cereal options, homemade pastries, quiche, fruit, and more. The outside patio and walkways are surrounded by colorful plants and trees that make it feel even more private. Would love to go back!

It is such a peaceful and cozy place!!!

(Translated by Google) A really cute guesthouse with a great breakfast! Warm welcome, you immediately feel at home! (Original) Eine richtig süße Pension mit tollem Frühstück! Herzlicher Empfang man fühlt sich direkt wohl !

My parents stayed here and the owner allowed me to come eat breakfast with them free of charge. The food was amazing and my parents' cottage was clean and cozy. They also had a hot tub, which was really nice.

Old in most every respect...

We loved the gardens and shady spots to sit and read. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The area is very nice with a coffee shop, bar & grill and restaurant within easy walking distance. The location if also near the Santa Barbara Mission and the Botanical Park.

Peaceful and cozy cottages. Lovely breakfast on the patio!

Beautiful place with great breakfast

New Review 2019 May Secret Garden Inn & Cottages is one of the best places to heal your mind and body. We feel very lucky to have found the wonderful Inn and Cottages in Santa Barbara, which we have been visiting again and again. We stayed there in April and enjoyed every moment and have reservations in July and November. At the end of our recent stay in April we also made another reservation for next April. We started staying at Secret Garden since 2009 and we love this place and the innkeeper, Ms. Dominique Hannaux. I have been traveling to many countries for many years, and have many experiences with stays at many hotels and inns around the world. So I know which hotel or inn meets my standards and taste. Secret Garden Inn & Cottages is one of our most favorite inns in Santa Barbara. My husband says that Dominique has the mental and physical power to heal a tired person. I totally agree with his opinion. He looks so happy and alive when he is staying there. Dominique is a very warm-hearted and generous human being. We enjoy talking with her about art, culture, and any subjects. She is a very intelligent and artistic person. She prepares fresh breakfast every morning. It is so delicious that we can eat it every day. Each room has its own character and is decorated charmingly. As soon as we leave the Inn each time, we are always talking about our next visit. We cannot wait for our next stay at Secret Garden Inn & Cottages in July. ---------------- The most charming innkeeper of the most charming inn in Santa Barbara The first time when I visited Santa Barbara is more than 45 years ago. My friend who was the artist had a second house in the hillside in the Santa Barbara. She and her husband introduced me the beauty of the city of Santa Barbara. After that, I visited there many times with my friends and my family from Japan. Every body loves this town. When we married, honeymoon trip was Santa Barbara. Our adopted daughter attended UC Santa Barbara since 2009. After 2009, we visit this town regularly. I have been traveling many countries and visiting many cities. But the Santa Barbara is one of my favorite cities in America. The main reason why we like Santa Barbara so much is we found the most charming inn and stay there always. The owner of Secret Garden, Ms. Dominique Hannaux, is a very interesting French woman. She is the most friendly, generous, kind person whom I have ever met. She has very unique background. She was born in Alexandria, Egypt, and grew in Annecy, France, and worked in Paris. So she has many interesting stories to tell. She is very intelligent woman as well as artistic. She is very original and genuine. We enjoy talking with her very much. She is also the best cook. Every morning, she prepares the fresh cooked breakfast. Everything what she prepares is so good. There are many charming points with this inn. We always meet interesting guests from all of the world. We share the breakfast table and we can exchange the worldview with them. We feel like we are traveling around world. We have already made reservation for March 2018. Because, March is the month of my birthday. Now, her daughter is helping Dominique. We are hoping that this inn will last forever.

(Translated by Google) Romantic rooms. Great breakfast in the garden. Very friendly hostess. (Original) Romantische Zimmer. Tolles Frühstück im Garten. Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin.

Wow! What a hidden jem. The owner cooks all breakfast in the morning fresh.

This place is amazing. The owner/operator is the kindest woman. The property is something out of a French novel...there are no other words to describe the setting but charming french cottage. Haven't been to many b&b but others i stay at will be benchmarked to this. The food she serves for breakfast is french too and sooooo good...the mainhouse is an older home she uses as the kitchen and dining making it feel like mom is cooking for you.

Quaint and clean, average breakfast but plenty of it, some fixtures are older and worn out, but that is part of the ambiance.

(Translated by Google) Very hospitable. You will be personally taken to your room and everything will be explained to you. Breakfast in the garden is simply magical. (Original) Sehr gastfreundlich. Man wird hier persönlich zum Zimmer gebracht und bekommt alles erklärt. Frühstück im Garten ist einfach zauberhaft.
