Descripción: Simpson House Inn

The Simpson House Inn is secluded in an acre of English gardens surrounded by tall hedges and sandstone walls that screen the Inn from the tree-lined street. It is only a five-minute walk from Santa Barbara's restaurants, theaters, museums and shops.

The historic, East-lake style Victorian estate was built by Scotsman Robert Simpson in 1874. Lovingly restored by the Davies family, the estate retains the integrity of its heritage. The Simpson House has been honored with a Structure of Merit Award, as well as Landmark status by the Landmarks Commission for its unique architecture and period setting.
