I have no words for this beautiful property. We had a lovely time on the gorgeous grounds, enjoyed delicious food and treats for breakfast, and slept peacefully in the cozy room. Don't hesitate, book today!!! You wont want to leave.
Beautiful grounds. Welcoming staff. Has a wonderful breakfast every day with wine and heavy Hors d'Oeuvres every night. Both are done in the wonderful main house. Accommodations were excellent
Everything was exceptional, wonderful, and all around perfect. We got married during our stay, and the property made the most beautiful and wonderful stay for our special weekend. The cottage was lovely and the breakfasts were such a special highlight of every single stay.
This is a unique property. Very close to town and restaurants and walkable. And yet you seem away from all of the hustle and bustle when you are on the property. Staff are very personable and helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a comfortable getaway
It’s always a treat to stay at the Simpson House, though I am a-bit concerned if the new investor’s(original owners sold about 2 years ago) will put the money needed to keep the property up? I did see some some areas both on the outside and inside of property that need attention🥹I love this place and would be very sad if it’s not kept up like it deserves❣️
The Simpson House Inn is a wonderfully maintained oasis near downtown Santa Barbara.
This is not a Five Star HOTEL but a superb B&B the likes of which we have previously enjoyed living in new and old England.
The staff are excellent ... David has a wonderfully dry wit.
Evening Happy Hour in the salon is generous.
Plumstead Cottage is charming with a quirky plan (do note that the bed and bath are on the second floor).
In all a fabulous base for Santa Barbara and beyond.
Had a great stay at The Simpson Inn and can't wait to return. Was greeted on our arrival and given a tour of the entire property ending up at our lodging, the Tack Room. Outstanding space on the downstairs portion of the building with our own porch.
Happy Hour with Hors d'oeuvres was very nice with a good selection of local wines and very tasty food. Breakfast was also great and David took excellent care of us for both mornings. Small complaint regarding that is it doesn't start until 8:30am. For those who like to rise earlier than that could be problem if you had a busy day planned
ahead of you.
Overall fantastic accommodations and very relaxing.
