Quite place

Stayed in May 2024

The bed was a little too hard but bed comfort is a personal preference. The tub area was dark and could use a light of some kind.

We are starting to love bed and breakfasts. The house is absolutely beautiful! The beautiful old floors caught my attention as soon as we walked in. Our room was on the 3rd floor and we were glad we didn't have a ton of luggage to carry up. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. We choose a room with a jacuzzi tub and that was really nice and large. The bed was too hard for me but my husband liked it. The breakfast was yummy and filling. The options were scrambled eggs with cheese and potatoes with everything bagel seasoning. They also always have a waffle maker, toast, bagels and fruit.

Everything was great

The quiet surroundings and comfort . I look forward to returning this fall.

The beds were very uncomfortable and the room was hard to keep cool. Our room had a window air conditioner that was in the bathroom window. It was difficult for the air to make its way into the room to cool it off.

The breakfast in the morning sass delicious and food was plentiful. There are two short trails on the property that you can take a short stroll on.

We only stayed 1 night but everything met our expectations. Nice room, nice breakfast, beautiful house interesting to explore. Nice grounds with walking paths.

I blend the two above. To continue with one of the individual questions, the amount Booking.com said was the total amount was different from what was charged to me. The difference was not large, only about 10 or 11 dollars, but such discrepancies provide unnecessary questions and distractions. For two other guests, the lack of greater presence of the owners was something of a curiosity, as it was for me.

I enjoyed my brief overnight stay there very much. It is something of a step back in time. The way my specific room, the Chesapeake, was decorated caught my attention. There was a little framed display of nautical knots. I thought that I have to give myself a refresher course. I think the addition of one of those folding suitcase holders would be a good touch, and I was a bit surprised by the pillows. Perhaps in an attempt to provide hypoallergenic pillows, encasing them in what felt like shower-curtain material took some getting used to, even if the pillowcase itself was fabric. The bed itself was very comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was simple yet very well prepared and presented. I hadn't used a waffle maker in a long time. The eggs and sausage were delicious. (In addition to Tabasco, you may wish to try Frank's hot sauce.)

We didn't mind, but the place is a little past its prime as far as upkeep. The owners are older and it's understandable. The only complaint is the extra tax charge that booking.com did not reveal or know and was not in their quote. So buyer beware. We still haven't gotten a refund for that.

Room was spacious with even a separate sitting area. Jacuzzi big and plenty of linens. View pleasing and breakfast delicious. There is a trail out back and through a wooded area near a creek which we enjoyed.

It was a big, cozy house on a beautiful property.

The property and room

Stayed in September 2022

Room was small. No way to regulate air flow or temperature. Shower had no handle (grab bar kind of thing.) Ceiling angle was an obvious invitation to head injuries. No water glasses. Etc. Parking was kinda catch-as-catch-can = no defined parking area.

breakfast was very good - good quality and selections. Nicely presented.

Insufficient air conditioning.

We loved the jacuzzi bath and the decor or the Inn!

Without air conditioning our first night was miserable.

Good

It wasn't a fresh cooked breakfast unless you consider the self-serve waffle maker "fresh cooked." Parking in front was a bit rustic but I'm a rustic guy so it worked. Some road noise but I guess that's what Easterners get.

The spacious landscaping helped me to engage my passion for bird watching. I could be inside or outside in the sun room and enjoy the short view. I loved the short walking paths. There were some private areas even if there were a large event crowd. The property was near to Fair Hill Nature Center where I finally finished my 9-year quest to photograph all 50 state birds, each in its home state. Danged oriole was hard to get. I wish it had been on the property but I can't blame host Harry for that.

The breakfast was fantastic and included a good selection of fresh fruit, cereals, waffles and pastries. The house had so much character and natural light as well as a cozy homey feeling to it. The host was very friendly and helpful throughout our stay and we really enjoyed relaxing outside on the deck and on the beautiful grounds.

Bar / anything for late night stay-up or drink.

The charm of the location. Owner was very 'authentic'. Beautiful house + surroundings. Close to the venue we were here for (University of Delaware).

Noise from wedding taking place on the site

Everything about the lodge was charming.

The 1st day the breakfast was so-so, but the 2nd day they offered some fresh fruit and hard boiled eggs. Unfortunately the hard boiled eggs couldn’t be peeled because all the egg stuck to the shells, but atleast they offered more options for the carb conscious guests!

Quaint Inn and cute rooms!

It was out in the country so expect bugs. Our TV was a little too small for our bad sight. No microwave or refrigerator in our room.

The place was very quiet. Great if your just looking to relax and not be around many people or just trying to get out of the city.

Could not get the fireplace to work and the shower had some issues. Heating/ air conditioner issues.

Brandywine room is good and does have a large tub that acts like a decent size jacuzzi.

Cable TV in the first room ruku is bad by its self

The second room we stayed in was very roomy

Stayed in October 2021

The room was small and on third floor. Which was not what was explained in booking. Com. No cable had to sign in to my own account to watch tv. Paid a lot for room . Booking. Com should update the description and be more accurate of actual room , had no private entrance, no view of garden. But the service was very apologetic for the miscommunication.

The experience, it’s a beautiful place

My particular room was very cold since it was at the head of the air conditioning ductwork
