Shirin, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

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’….

Very nice small B&B centrally located. Great atmosphere and efficient staff. 5 PM small bites and wine really nice. Sitting on the porch looking at landscaped yard was sooo nice!!
Peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Was very nice property with serene grounds. Offerings of complementary wine and hors d’oeuvres in the pm was enjoyable. Attention of all staff was critical to a fine stay. Pendle cottage was nice and free sodas was appreciated. Only slight ding was the shower was a bit slow to heat up and on the narrow side. Breakfast was excellent. A very pleasant stay!
