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.

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!

Truly a lovely weekend getaway that makes you feel like you’re in a forest hideaway. Close enough to Main Street to walk to the shops and even all the way down to the shore. Nice staff, tasty food, clean. This place was recommended to me by a friend and I’d be happy to recommend it, myself. I’d stay here again with the only difference being that I’d stay LONGER.

Can't not say stunning enough. Hotel ground is beautifully designed with trees, flowers and fountains. Jasmine fragrance permeates the air and greets guests upon arrival. Breakfast is served in style with a different entrée each day. Guests are pampered by very attentive servers (Dana is absolutely fabulous). Happy hour everyday with wine and delicious hor'doeuvres from 530 to 630pm.
