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.

A Hidden Gem for a Cozy Stay!

What a delightful escape! The quaint atmosphere reminded me of cherished inns from my travels. The complimentary breakfast exceeded my expectations, featuring fresh pastries and local fruits. Don’t miss a stroll through the lush gardens – a perfect spot for morning coffee. Book early for the best room options!

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!

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.

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.

Staying in the Hayloft Room was a dream! Bright, cozy vibes with a cute balcony perfect for sipping morning coffee. The breakfast pastries were heavenly, and I loved the serene gardens to unwind. For a couple of chill evenings, the wine and hors d'oeuvres were a classy touch that made the stay feel extra special.

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.

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.

The stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The gardens are beautiful and well-maintained. I loved the cozy Katharine McCormick room with a charming atmosphere. Breakfast was a delightful three-course meal each morning. Perfect for a peaceful getaway! 🌼

Stunning grounds and beautiful main house. room could use better soundproofing.

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.

our stay at simpson house inn was fantastic! the scones were a special treat that made it worth the visit. we loved the evening wine tasting with hors d'oeuvres. the ambiance was enhanced by the lovely oak tree and the relaxed environment. it's also a short walk to downtown and the wharf, which was super convenient. the staff were friendly, making us feel right at home!
