As a family of four travelling through Santa Barbara on a tour of California, The Lemon Tree was one of our favourite places that we stayed. From the moment we walked into reception and the helpful friendly staff greeted us to when we left the accommodation was perfect. The pool area and surrounding gardens were beautiful and well maintained and the room was large, clean and comfortable- thank you for a wonderful stay. The Fox Family
