"Such a beautiful experience"

10.0

This was the perfect getaway from a hot humid South. Perfect weather the whole time in the low 70’s. The Simpson House is a beautiful place. The grounds are immaculate, the breakfast and afternoon wine tasting was very thoughtful and elegant. The room was so comfortable and beautiful. Every person I came in contact with was warm and friendly. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful grounds, attentive staff, delicious food. Really enjoyed the stay. The room was a bit stuffy - had a bit of a dusty / old smell to it unfortunately but otherwise it was great.

"On my list to stay again!"

10.0

Absolutely loved my stay at Simpson House. The property is beautiful and tranquil with plants, flowers and gurgling fountains. Breakfast is served with style with multiple courses and delicious. They also have daily after lunch snacks and happy hour (5- 6pm) with wine and various selection of hors d'oeuvre. I could just hang around the property for the whole day and be content.

"A real hidden gem"

10.0

Sadly we only had one night here! From the moment we arrived it was just wonderful. A real lovely welcome to a charming little country house hotel, a real hidden gem. Complementary wine and nibbles were great as was breakfast. The only slight downside was that our bed was far too soft for us and so we didn’t get a good rest. We would love to visit again but would discuss other room options with the property. A really great place, highly recommended.

We stayed one night at the Simpson House. Beautiful property and in the perfect Santa Barbara location just blocks off the promenade. The service was great. Loved the afternoon snacks. We stayed in the garden room and it was nice, although bathroom is outdated and bed was not very comfortable. My biggest complaint was the breakfast- coffee was bad and my scrambled eggs were really bad. Definitely expected better food for a 5 star place (and for the price we paid). Also a maintenance person was sweeping or doing something on our private patio very early in the morning. Didn’t love that.
