The rooms were clean and comfortable. The grounds were well kept and quiet. The breakfast and afternoon snacks were always great! Would recommend to anyone who wants access to state street but also a quiet stay.

"50th wedding anniversary celebration"

10.0

We came to The Simpson House Inn to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Everything was perfect!! The Victorian Inn and the beautiful gardens were spectacular! The happy hour appetizers were great as was the breakfast. They also serve refreshments in the afternoon should you need something to hold you over until happy hour. The service was exceptional in all areas! I recommended this for anyone wanting a special place to stay in Santa Barbara!

We have been to the Simpson House Bed & Breakfast before. The staff is always superb and attentive. The grounds are always beautiful, the location is perfect, closed to the SB Bowl and downtown. The only disappointment this time was the breakfast, it tasted great but compare to our last visits, it sure suffered from ‘shrinkflation’….

Simpson House Inn is a unique property. We stayed in the Garden Room which was private and comfortable. The Gardens are wonderful and very relaxing. Fresh baked afternoon scones and later appetisers were delicious and unexpected. Home cooked breakfast was also excellent and the staff very pleasant and accommodating. Safe parking on site. We will return.
