    family-friendly cottage
    scenic bike rides
    lack of play area

    We loved wandering around Santa Barbara, soaking up the sun and enjoying family bike rides along the coast! The spacious cottage gave us room to breathe, and the morning breakfast was a welcome treat as it was delivered right to our door.

    In my wife’s opinion, a play area for kids would have been great.

    serene gardens
    cozy cottage

    Loved the cozy Weathervane cottage with its own balcony and fireplace. Perfect for winding down in privacy! The gardens are a serene escape, ideal for relaxing with a book. Plus, the evening hors d'oeuvres are a great way to mingle with other guests, and the complimentary tea and cookies available all day are a sweet touch!

    spacious suite
    delicious breakfast
    beautiful grounds
    unusual bathroom setup

    Our family had an amazing stay at Simpson House Inn! The grounds are beautiful and serene, making it the perfect escape. Our suite was spacious with a cozy sitting area and a lovely fireplace. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious three-course breakfast outdoors, which was a highlight for the kids. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to shops and the beach.

    Some rooms might have an unusual bathroom setup.

    high-quality offerings

    Couples' Hidden Treasure

    The atmosphere is just very nice, with this beautiful garden where you can sit and enjoy peace. Plus, the wine and hors d'oeuvres at 5:30pm were a real treat for us-totally unexpected and good.

    It wasn't exactly pocket change, but worth every penny.

    beautifully decorated room
    delightful breakfast

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    The cozy, beautifully decorated room was a serene retreat after a day of exploring. Every morning, we indulged in a delightful, fresh breakfast served on the sunny terrace—those homemade scones were a must-try! Plus, the friendly evening cocktail hour with local wines and scrumptious hors d'oeuvres made it the perfect way to wind down and connect with fellow guests.

    great escape but room size disappointed

    The sun room featured tasteful decor and a stunning large sun deck, perfect for relaxing. The breakfast on the veranda was excellent, complemented by superb hors d’oeuvres with wine in the late afternoon.

    cozy ambiance
    beautiful grounds
    noisy kids

    Charming Parlor Room with a cozy ambiance! The beautiful grounds were perfect for lounging, and I adored the lovely afternoon scones—almost too good to share.

    Now, if they could just train the kids not to play tag outside my window at dawn, I'd be ever so grateful! My beauty sleep deserves better than a toddler’s marathon.

    charming stay with easy access to parks and museums

    During my visit, I loved strolling through the lovely gardens and then walking to Alameda Park, just a few steps away, which was perfect for soaking up the southern California sunshine and enjoying the local atmosphere. the easy stroll to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art made my weekend even more delightful as I took in the stunning exhibits and beautiful architecture nearby. Single travelers will appreciate how cozy the atmosphere was while still feeling very welcoming.
