Our task: Find a place to hold a weekend "retreat" for every employee of our law firm (plus spouses and children). It needs to accommodate all 22 of us in rooms that are, at minimum, above average, and provide most of our meals in attractive surroundings. The most important thing we need is a group activity (either on-site or nearby)... more

We highly recommend this ranch which is located just outside of Santa Barbara. We recieved excellent service, the location is beautiful and the food was excellent. We will definitely go back! more

My mom and I were looking for a get away close to L.A. We read a couple of reviews of ranches in the Santa Barbara area and were impressed by the high praise Circle Bar B received, so we decided to give it a try ourselves. The ranch was offering a special mid week package which included: two nights stay,... more

Even whilst in the south pacific islands, we spent too much time wishing we were back in Goleta, enjoy the warm company and top class service which the Brown... more

The ranch is in a perfect tranquil location and Kathy and her team made us very welcome, and were flexible when we had to change our dates at short notice. The accommodation, home made food... more
