Simpson House Inn - A secluded 5-star boutique hotel with English gardens, Victorian accommodations, and inclusive gourmet dining

Simpson House Inn occupies a Victorian estate built in 1874 on an acre of English gardens that received the Santa Barbara Beautiful Award. This adult-only property offers 15 guest rooms across the Victorian Manor, Carriage Barn, and English Cottages, featuring wood-burning fireplaces, whirlpool tubs, and private balconies or patios with garden views. All stays include daily gourmet breakfast served in-room or on the patio, afternoon refreshments, evening wine with Mediterranean-inspired hors d'oeuvres, and dessert bites.
