Everyone was really nice. I was at peace when I saw the Garden with fountains everywhere. The best thing about the hotel was their breakfast which you could request to be deliver right at your door steps. The lemon pancake was to die for. We stayed in the Greenwich Cottage, it had a Jacuzzi and a fireplace. The only complaint... More

This is one of the best B&B's anywhere. I was there in October for my birthday for two days after spending one night there in January. You drive in to this pretty little driveway & people are standing there to greet you. They ask your name & tell you a little about in Inn, then one will show you to... More

I stayed in this wonderful place while on a solo road trip from San Francisco to LA. The place is absolutely great: 1. It has a lot of character and simultaneously you are minutes away from the city main street 2. The garden is outstanding and food service is simply great And most of all staff is Incredibly helpful in... More

My wife and I spent 3 lovely days here this week...our 3rd visit to Simpson House. It remains one of very best b&b/inns we've stayed at...in the world. No doubt, it is expensive, so it's not a place middle class folks can afford too often, but for a special occasion Simpson House is special. Stayed in the Weathervane this time,... More

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at this wonderful retreat. In spite of some inclement weather which prevented us from lounging in the beautiful gardens, our stay was wonderful. The staff was helpful in every possible way. Our room was perfect in its attractiveness and comfort. We appreciated the fact that we were just 1 1/2 blocks from the main... More

We booked one night here to start of our Californian Route 1 trip and we are so glad that we did. The place is amazing. Really olde worlde charms with all of the modern conveniences. We ummed and ahhed for ages about where to stay in Santa Barbara and are so glad that we found the Simpson House Inn. What... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in August in the Margaret Simpson room. The inn is lovely, a well-kept, clean inn with lovely antiques, period details, etc., and the staff were friendly and helpful. The afternoon hors d'oeuvres and wine are yummy and plentiful -- you almost won't feel up for dinner afterwards! I only have a few critiques. First,... More

We stayed for one night on our the way down the Pacific Coast. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. From the moment we arrived - literally from the car - we were treated exceptionally well. Our every need was catered for with aplomb, professionalism and genuine warmth. Our room was the Robert & Julia Simpson room, in... More
