For many years, thus unique property has been a wonderful place to relax. A historic landmark built in 1874, it's been a luxurious bed and breakfast now for decades, a large, beautiful Victorian house on a spacious, tree shaded lot away from, but within walking distance of, the hustle and bustle of State Street. It's changed hands recently, but Haley is still the friendly host overseeing everything, and her associate Frank is charming and extremely helpful. The rooms in the main house are very nice, and the cottages roomy and comfortable. There are plenty of spots to chill and read a book on the lawn, and the French toast is a delicious way to start one's day...

We had the pleasure of staying at the Simpson House Inn for three nights over Thanksgiving 2025. Our experience was lovely. We stayed in the Katherine McCormick Room. The room was cozy in the main house. The wine hour, cookies and breakfasts were delicious. The location was perfect and were able to walk downtown and to the beach with ease. If you want to stay in a B&B that is charming and quiet then Simpson House Inn is for you. We appreciated the personal touches from the Simpson House Inn and will return during our next visit to Santa Barbara.

What a wonderful stay in Santa Barbara! We were in town for a romantic getaway and to see old friends during a rainy, cold block of days. The crackling fire and worn leather furniture and soft music were inviting and immediately caused us to want to pause and enjoy the hot tea or the afternoon hors d’ oeuvres that were offered. We were met in the driveway by Frank who immediately welcomed us and showed us around the grounds and our upstairs room of this house built in 1874. The staff here were top notch! Breakfast (made to order) every morning was served by David who was very personable and attentive and helped start our days off right. One particular rainy evening, Haley kindly went to the kitchen and brought out a few things for us to enjoy (having decided to stay in from the cold) that were available from the earlier provision that we had missed. Everyone was so attentive and helpful. We were so relaxed even having stayed there only 3 nights. We felt like family and we were sad to leave our clean and comfortable room and the pampering we enjoyed. We highly recommend The Simpson House Inn.
