“A perfect place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

I highly recommend a stay at Kennett House. We stayed in the Longwood Suite which was composed of a sitting room, a bedroom with a king bed, and a bathroom with a walk in shower. The room was immaculate and the bed comfortable. Breakfasts, which were varied each day of our stay, were delicious and attractively presented with great attention to detail. Gilja, the proprietor and innkeeper, was friendly and offered many helpful suggestions and recommendations. It is very easy to walk to the center of the town from the B&B and it is a very short (2 1/2 miles) drive to Longwood Gardens.

“We will be back!”

What a gem of a B&B! Thank you, Gilja.
This is a handsome stone Arts & Crafts era house, tasteful and immaculate inside & out. The location is convenient to the Brandywine Valley sights, Philadelphia and Lancaster County. My husband and I look for quiet and well ordered accommodations, and we couldn't have been happier. We always got a perfectly serene night's sleep, so it was almost a surprise to come down to breakfast and find we had company. If a room had been available (that is, if we had booked early enough), we would have stayed longer than four nights.
The Delaware Suite is adorable, cozy and comfy for two. The Longwood Suite is really spacious, ideal for a long stay or for three people. Comfort is key. There are en suite sitting rooms, spa robes, lighting where you want it, wireless internet. Gathering areas are stocked 24/7 with cold beverages, a guest computer, good books, rocking chairs on the ample porch. Breakfasts are delicious and so well presented that we wanted to photograph them.
Gilja is delightful and sooo considerate. She is also generous with good advice regarding sightseeing, restaurants and logistics.
Restaurants, shops, even laundry service are walking distance from Kennett House. That is a bonus after a full day of touring or business. If you're putting together a picnic, check out the excellent bakeries, like Great Harvest and Talulah's (which also has artisanal cheeses). Country Butcher is 3 minutes' drive on the other side of the village, with a wide selection of gourmet and fresh food.
We know where to stay in this lovely part of Pennsylvania!

“Lovely B & B in Kennett Square”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2010

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kennett House. Gilja, the innkeeper, was a very gracious host. The breakfasts were amazing. Just enough food. The house was immaculate and the room cozy and inviting. The Kennett Square historic district is just one third mile away. Beautiful shops and boutiques. Don't miss the Farmer's Market on Fridays. Everyone was very friendly. Kennett House is just minutes from Longwood Gardens. We stayed in the Wyeth Room which has a private bath. Lovely porch to sit on a rocking chair and just relax. We'll be back.

“Great location, wonderful breakfast - good mid-price B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2010

This well-maintained B&B is conveniently located near Brandywine Valley attractions (Longwood Gardens, Brandywine River Museum). Our hostess Gilja was cheerful, eager to please, and served a lovely breakfast. Pay attention, however if you are booking a room with a private, but "adjacent" bathroom. That means the bathroom is yours only, but you walk out into the hall to get to it. Gilja provides robes in the closet to make that easier. But if you were planning on stumbling to the bathroom in your underwear, think again. Gilja provides good restaurant recommendations. We had a great dinner at Catherine's. Sound from the street and other guests was noticeable, but not enough for us to turn on the provided white noise machine. The entrance is actually on N. Garfield street, so don't be alarmed if your GPS directs you to a barren rock wall on State Street.

“Great Attention to Detail”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2009

My husband and I were very pleased with our stay at Kennett House Inn B & B in Kennett Square, Pa. Our room had lots of thoughtful extras: robes, high quality linens, well-placed lamps, and it was spotless. The host Gilja took great pride in her breakfast, as well she should. Good food, perfectly served. Comfortable and friendly.
