So let’s talk about hospitality: we travel extensively by car and prefer to stay in small individually owned properties as often as possible. We were in Santa Barbara for a family event and stayed with Dominique at her charming inn. Dominique and her staff (Cassidy) go above and beyond to make their guests’ stays as comfortable as possible. Always charming and accessible, the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages was one of the best places we’ve stayed. It is abundantly clear that hospitality is at the top of their list! Breakfast is amazing and the location is perfect. Dominique’s lunch recommendation was spot on and we could walk to Derf’s Cafe. We will definitely be back to stay at the Secret Garden when next we visit Santa Barbara!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dominique's lovely inn. We had the Garden room and our small dog, Ginger, loved playing in the room's private garden. We had breakfast each morning in the garden. The breakfast was brought each morning at our specified time. Breakfast consisted of tea (our preference), orange juice, magnificent croissants , fruit, and a different daily hot egg dish. It literally filled us until dinner time! We, and Ginger, can't wait to return.

What a wonderful magical stay. Dominique was an incredible, lovely host. The bed and breakfast cottages each had something unique to offer. The sounds of birds chirping and beautiful breakfasts (Esp quiche!) were wonderful. Cant wait to return soon!

A beautiful property. Our room, Bobwhite, while small, was comfortable for the two of us. Breakfast in the garden was outstanding quality! Owner and staff did an excellent job. I would stay there again and recommend it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dominique's B&B. It was quiet, roomy, and quaint. The breakfast each morning was fantastic...yummy quiche and croissants (and more!). We enjoyed eating in our room and having safe, off-street parking. We were close enough to walk to Upper State St. for a good, reasonable dinner at Carlito's. We will stay there again!

We stayed in the main house. The inn is located very close to the heart of the village. The garden is so beautiful, and the house is charming and full of interesting antique touches and beautiful paintings. Our room was spacious, and there was plenty of space for us to put our belongings. The wifi worked perfectly, which came in handy for work. The breakfast was incredible. Fresh quiche, juice, great coffee and delicious croissants and bread. A true highlight was our lovely hostess who was so helpful and kind. I would highly recommend this inn! I went with my mom for a quick girls weekend. Was perfect!

Such a great hidden gem next to downtown Santa barbara. I wasn't expecting it to be a bed and breakfast which was a pleasant surprise. The French proprietor was this sweet lady who upgraded our room to the best one they had with a great hot tub in the back in an enclosed patio. Breakfast came right on the dot and it was amazing! It had the best croissants I've ever had in the states. The bed was super comfy, the room was so clean. I can't say enough about this gem. One of the best spontaneous stops I've ever made in my life. Highly recommended.

I was only in town for a night, but looked and looked and couldn't find anything nice and reasonably priced that was relatively close to downtown. After searching for hotels and Airbnbs, I found this gem. Great location and some rooms (including mine) had a hot tub on the deck. Nice and private and the breakfast was great. Highly recommend!
