Simpson House Inn

The venue is in fact a Victorian house turned bed and breakfast. The renovation work was excellent and the rooms are very comfortable. The gardens are beautiful and it is not unusual to spot a rabbit and birds during the breakfast on the porch. The breakfast by the way is delicious and clearly cooked carefuly for each guest and not mass produced as in ordinary hotels. The staff is extremely cordial and thoughtful. The house itself is within walking distance from attractions such as the Presidio, the old mission building and the courthouse, and also near State street, where you can find trendy shops. In all, it was the best hotel in my California roadtrip from San Francisco to LA.

Wow! Simpson Inn was awesome, from the moment we parked in the large safe tucked away drive being greeted instantly, shown around the property in time for evening wine & hors d’oeuvres in the main house. Breakfasts were amazing sat outside on the veranda even on a February morning watching the squirrels play in the beautiful gardens. Cottage was so spacious, cozy with real fire, nice lounge area with complimentary refreshments, nice bathroom and comfortable bed even made use of the slippers and dressing gown. Could not believe we where two blocks away from the main State Street in Santa Barbara, did not need our car, was easy to walk to shops, restaurants and down to the main harbour and beach

Fabulous breakfasts. Great afternoon hors d'oeuvres and wine - did not need to go out to dinner really! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was upgraded without us even asking. Very close to the main street in downtown Santa Barbara - easy walking to restaurants shops and sea front. Gardens surrounding the property were very pretty and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the good weather.

Simpson House is literally one of the best Inn experiences you could ask for. The facilities are immaculate, the grounds are lush and the staff is super accommodating. And the food (included!) is outstanding. Can't say enough. And my wife and have been there many times. Never disappointed. A must see if you're in Sant Barbara! :)

We loved absolutely everthing about our stay at the Simpson House Inn, the friendly welcome, the complimentary hors d‘œuvre and wine in the evening, the beautifully decorated rooms with great showers, the turn down service, the delicious breakfast on a sunny terrace in the morning - I could go on and would definitely recommand this place!
