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.

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.

8/10 Very good

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.
