Secret Garden Inn & Cottages is a remodeled home built in 1905. Their charming gardens and high privacy fences make this hotel a tiny oasis amidst the bustle of Santa Barbara. Each of the uniquely furnished rooms are appointed with free Wi-Fi, private bathroom, hairdryer, and a flat screen TV with cable and a DVD player. Some of the rooms include full kitchens and patios overlooking the garden. Guests can indulge in an in-room massage from a licensed therapist, or receive a tarot or astrology reading. Secret Garden Inn & Cottages specializes in French cuisine, with many French dishes served in their daily gourmet breakfast buffet. They also serve wine, cheese, and hors d'oeuvres in the early evening, and brownies and hot cider at night. They are located near many of Santa Barbara's attractions including Old Mission Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
The breakfast served at this B&B is French influenced, with homemade quiches, fresh-baked scones, sweet breads, and muffins, and fresh fruit along with an ample selection of beverages. Guests found it to be exceptional, and they also appreciated the complimentary wine, cheese, and hors d'oeuvres reception in the evening and the brownies and hot cider seven before bed.
From the house cat wandering the property to the personal touches in the room like the artwork the owner makes herself, guests felt right at home in this quaint B&B, and appreciated the stark contrast to their typical experiences with corporate-owned hotel chains. They also appreciated the warm treatment from the staff, including many interactions with the owner herself.
Previous guests loved the tranquil atmosphere of their beautifully landscaped gardens. With the whole property located behind a high privacy fence, it was easy to forget they were in the middle of the city.
Many guests were sad to note that several areas of the B&B have become rather tired. The floors squeak, doors can be difficult to open and shut, and some of the furniture and linens were worn.
Most of the rooms are actually private cottages dotted around the property, but the hotel does have two rooms inside the main house. Guest that stayed in those rooms lamented the lack of privacy, and found that they got quite noisy early in the morning when the employees are bustling about making breakfast.
Through the hotel offers free Wi-Fi, most guests found it to be abysmally slow. Several expressed disappointment that they were unable to stream video, and for a few guests who needed to conduct business during their stay this proved to be a serious problem.
