Our stay at The Simpson House was a mix of delight and disappointment. First, the delight: Our barn suite was beautiful and quite large. It was furnished in period style furniture and had a very comfy couch and king size bed. The floors were all wooden and there was a huge jacuzzi tub in the corner of our room which... more

We stayed here for a romantic intown getaway. This is a private, beautiful small piece of property on a residential street in Santa Barbara. We stayed in the Greenwich Cottage. It was a small room but beautiful. The decor is very Shabby Chic/European. There is a huge jacuzzi bathtub big enough for two and a great fireplace with real logs.... more

Clarification of breakfast choices: We were told that we could have a continental breakfast in the dining room at 6:30 AM, have breakfast brought to our room, or have breakfast in the dining room or on the porch between 8;30 and 9:30 AM. Most B and B's only offer one choice! The breakfasts were superb! more

Enjoyed our stay in the barn. We were on the 2nd floor in a charming suite and the maids kept the room spotless. The food at breakfast is superb and they honored our request to eat inside. The pastries, food and appetizers during the wine hour are all homemade and unique. We were treated better than family!! more

To celebrate my birthday, my boyfriend reserved the Pendle Cottage for two nights. He chose it because of the fantastic reviews and we were not disappointed. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted in the parking lot by Gary, who acquainted us with the spectacular property while our bags were delivered to our cottage. He explained the history of the house,... more

My husband and I just returned from a fantastic weekend at the Simpson House-we couldn't have asked for more!! We were greeted by Sergio as we pulled into the driveway-he directed us in for wine and h'orsdevors while he brought our bags to the Abby Cottage. What a nice way to kick off the weekend--free flowing wines and awesome nibbles... more

Just came back from our 3rd stay at the Simpson House Inn, and my impression is that the place has gone down a bit. I noticed immediately that the physical condition of the house needed some sprucing up (paint, etc), one more season without it and I fear the place is going to look noticably worn. I wonder if the... more

My wife and I stayed at the Simpson House Inn on Valentine's Day weekend (2007), and could not have picked a better and more romantic place to spend that special weekend. Special times call for special places, and the Simpson House Inn is very special indeed. We've stayed at several "high end" hotels in the Santa Barbara area, and none... more
