This is the perfect bed and breakfast inn for travelers who don't like the typical overdecorated, cramped, Victorian-era, inns. The atmosphere is elegant and serene. Rooms are large, airy, spotless, and comfortable. Lovely public rooms and porch for reading and conversation. Beautiful grounds. Innkeeper is helpful and welcoming and not intrusive. Delicious and generous breakfast.

Many good restaurants in nearby Doylestown.

Unfortunately I must add a dissenting review- I feel obliged since I stayed here based on the stellar reviews on tripadvisor. We stayed in the top floor large double room on a chilly spring night. When Christine showed us the room I mentioned it was cold and touched the radiator, wondering why it was off. She brought in a space heater (mentioning nothing about the radiator) which was weak and whose short cord placed it nowhere near the bed. The bed was quite soft and not to my liking, and that combined with the coldness made it hard to sleep. The other rooms upstairs were equally cold and had badly peeling paint. Our room also had a couple of insects that I believe are called stinkbugs in the old window frames- drafty and probably the source of the chilliness. My husband discovered the thermostat downstairs turned off, he turned it up just enough so that heat turned on, but in a few hours (by 5 a.m.) I woke up cold and we discovered someone had again turned it off. He turned it up again, when we went downstairs for breakfast, it was again off. there was only one other room occupied when we were there and they did not touch it, apparently. If Christine is charging us that much for a room surely she can afford some extra dollars from our bill to put towards heating costs. We will not return.

Christine provided my daughters and I with wonderful home base during our
extended stay in Bucks County and Doylestown. A great place to return to after
a busy day of touring and sightseeing. Thanks Christine

Our weekend at Highland Farm was amazing, full stop. Oh, all the standard B & B things were present and accounted for - amazing breakfasts, unbelievably soft sheets (actually, we've never felt smoother!), a terrific common room featuring books and movies aplenty, gorgeous grounds and views - but two things elevated it into "magic" territory.

Those would be Christine Cole (a phenomenal host and innkeeper, managing to achieve the perfect balance between being solicitous and being overly "in-your-face.") She seemed like our next-door neighbor - but her apparently effortless skill became evident when she rattled off dinner recommendations and immediately interpreted what was most important to us into ideal photo op suggestions.

The other thing, of course, is the history of the place. For Broadway buffs. this is an absolute must - to stay in the same house where Hammerstein wrote some of the most memorable and iconic shows in American theater! Every corner of the house holds a story - and the many books that can be found in the bedrooms and the common area just add to that knowledge.

In short, nothing feels "new" in this house - yet everything works perfectly (even the flat panel TV and the Keurig coffee maker!). The magic of what was created there still lingers. And thanks to the wonderful Christine, we can experience it.

We can't recommend it highly enough. Do yourself a favor and go to Highland Farm!
