The room has a sense of history, so the facilities are definitely not as good as new hotels, but the service and environment are better. There was machine noise in the room we stayed in, so the hotel immediately moved us to a cabin in the yard. The garden is not big, but because there are few guests, it is enough. Whether you have breakfast or want to sit quietly and read a book, you can sit in the garden. The catering mainly focuses on afternoon happy time and breakfast, which tastes very good. I feel like I will choose this restaurant again when I come to Barbara in the future.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at the Simpson House Inn. It was clean, charming, and beautiful, and we loved our private wrap-around terrace off the Robert & Julia Simpson room. The view of the manicured garden with high hedges and the sound of the trickling fountains below were relaxing. We visited our son at UCSB and spent an easy Saturday with him walking to Mission Santa Barbara, back to the inn for a break and fresh scones, a walk to tour the SB Courthouse, and then, a walk back to the inn for delicious Happy Hour hours d’oevres. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor common spaces—particularly the library and fireplace—which were never crowded even though the inn was sold out. The house and grounds were so lovely, and the staff was friendly and helpful while also allowing us privacy. We don’t usually love B&Bs, but we look forward to staying here again and highly recommend it.

Our stay at The Simpson House was wonderful. It has an upscale feel, but it’s warm and inviting. We enjoyed wandering the beautiful grounds, sitting in front of the fireplace, the delicious breakfasts on the porch, the appetizers and wine at night and the smiling faces of the staff. It’s truly an oasis in Santa Barbara. Five stars!!
