We recently spent 4 days, 3 nites at the secret garden. It was our second visit in 3 years. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. The hot breakfast was very satisfying and left us quite full until late in the afternoon. The evening wine, cheese were plentiful and the warm brownies and cider a treat late in the... more

Wonderful little place. Very romantic for a weekend getaway. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. There was wine and cheese offered in the evening and brownies and cider at night. Breakfast was delicious, the tomato, artichoke, pesto quiche was a winner. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We also had cable in our cottage which was a definate... more

Years ago I was told by a close friend "If you expect, you'll always be disappointed". I love staying at B& B's for the many personal touches rarely found at hotels or motels. When I found the Secret Garden Inn on the internet last week I was very taken by the lovely advertised pictures, wine & cheese, brownies & most... more

Pros: The room itself was very nice and pleasant. Big comfortable bed and nice patio view of the garden. Nice wine selection. Big bathroom with a huge tub. Cons: no room service for food, $75 to get bubble for the bath, cable tv doesn't have option to buy pay-per-view movies. No breakfast menu - they only serve continental breakfast. Great... more

Let me start off by saying that my husband & I travel about 8-12 times a year and almost exclusively stay at B&Bs. We travel with our 2 small dogs as often as possible as they enjoy new scenery as much as we do. As far as pets go, this place is NOT pet-friendly, it is pet-TOLERATING and even then,... more

In the evening there are appetizers and wine set out and if you aren't real hungry it would suffice for a meal. The general location is very good; close to the "main drag" where all the... more

Very pleased withthis B and B. Very comfortable. Great food and wine everyday. Our room was very comfortable, clean and the staff was friendly! We will be back. We have stayed at other B and B's in SB and down the street there is one we will never go back to. The Secret Garden had warmth, lovely guests, breakfast was... more

While browsing the web site, I came upon the beautiful, charming cottages each decorated differently and fell in love with the place. When I arrived, I found the place more charming and pleasant than expected. The service is fabulous. It brings back memories of the service in European bed and breakfasts. A very friendly and cozy atmosphere for total relaxation.... more

Before going into details about the actual accommodation, I would like to put right one of the glaring mistakes on the information provided by The Secret Garden Inn in their description: the Inn is, in fact, 1.4 miles from downtown (not 1/4 mile as stated), and 2.2 miles from the beach (not 1 1/2 miles as stated). The accommodation was... more
