Positive: This is a beautiful place to stay! We loved the feel and the decor of the house, and our room was beautifully appointed with very authentic antique furniture and art. The grounds are lovely with interesting plants and fountains. The breakfast and snacks provided were excellent, and the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. From the Simpson House, you can drive to almost any SB attraction in minutes, so we found the location to be excellent. It should be mentioned that our room was smaller than a typical hotel, and some bathrooms are separate from the room (but private). But overall, this was a delightful B & B, and we will return!
Negative: Our bed was comfortable, but it was difficult to access it from both sides--too close to the wall. The water pressure was weak in our bathroom, so we will request a different room next time.
Summary: One night is not enough to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the Simpson House!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Negative: When arrived, exactly when I had said, there was no one there, as the staff member had gone out for a sandwich! Very off hand, when he did return after 20 minutes. Staff not at all visible, very impersonal. Breakfast was poor - fancy and cooked to order, but not well executed. Such a shame, as most B&Bs I have stayed in in the US have been really pleasant and friendly.
Summary: Disappointing and impersonal.
