Relaxation and Hospitality nestled in Santa Barba

Amazing stay at this beautiful property. Incredible service and hospitality—from afternoon lemonade and iced tea with pastries to happy hour Hors d'oeuvres and wine, to evening cookies and tea to a deliciously cooked gourmet breakfast—we loved it all. Loved the wood burning fireplace in our cottage!

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’….

The charm and beauty of the grounds, the friendly interaction with the staff, the deliciously satisfying breakfasts and heavy Hors d’Oeuvres and wine hours make your stay truly unique and relaxing. A stay at Simpson House Inn is a great escape from the daily grind. From the moment you walk up, you are enveloped in peace and tranquillity. Would love to come back.
