The Widow McCrea is not an exceptional B&B. The rooms are pretty standard compared to other Victorian B&Bs. The public are is on the small side. The grounds are not spectacular with no real view and traffic noise of a busy road. However, we highly recommend the Widow McCrea because of the hosts. Their breakfast alone is worth the trip. They make a wonderful sitdown candlelit breakfast, well worth getting out of bed for. And the stories! Our hosts told plenty of tales of the house and the area that all the guests sat for a long time just listening. Sure there are better B&Bs, but there are not many better hosts.

An opportunity to visit with some old college friends led me back to an area near Buck's County that I've always loved, Frenchtown. I wasn't expecting much of a local inn but had heard some buzz about a little gem of a place close to New Hope but a far better value. Loving luxury and a good deal as much as I do, I was pleased to find both in Lynn Marad's jewel of a B&B. She and husband Burt do an exceptional job of making one's stay restful and fulfilling, with little extravagances abounding in the thoughtful breakfasts and the well appointed rooms. I felt "at home" immediately. Clearly, I found the best place in town and I'll be returning with a friend.

We spent another weekend at the Widow (this was our third stay). Simply the best place in New Jersey to bring your significant other for a romantic weekend. The accomodations at the Widow are fantastic and it is within walking distance to the center of town. Frenchtown is a beautiful small town situated on the Delaware River. There are great places to eat and the Delaware Raritan Canal State Park is fantastic to walk, run, or bike on.

My husband and I took a mini honeymoon to Frenchtown and stayed at this great B&B for 3 nights in the privacy suite. The room was very spacious and all of the amenities were updated (beautiful jacuzzi tub, central air, mini fridge), but the room still had that 1877 appeal with the antique art, furniture and wallpaper. We especially liked this room because it had its own personal entrance, and the delicious breakfast was brought to our room every morning. We had total privacy, but we also enjoyed hanging out and sampling port in the dining and living room of the main house. We loved this B&B because it was a two minute bike ride to all the shops and restaurants in town, as well as the delaware river and bike path. We would recommend this B&B to anyone staying in the Frenchtown area!!
