“Secret Garden Inn & Cottages offers a cute, restful experience, especially if you snag a room with a private garden; breakfast is a highlight, delivered with quiche on request. While the Wi-Fi might test your patience, the convenient parking and the resident cat, Peanut, add some homespun charm. I think it's a worthwhile spot for a relaxed Santa Barbara visit, if a bit quirky.”
