Comfortable and beautiful
This B&B is set on a historic site, built in 1906, which has been refurbished and made comfortable for the modern traveller. The bespoke rooms are beautifully presented and decorated. Both the guest rooms and common areas are clean, comfortable and have a welcoming, home-away-from-home atmosphere.
positive:
Quiet neighborhood
Set in a quiet neighborhood, you can expect to get a good night's sleep here. Manayunk and Chestnut Hill are easily accessible in less than 15-minutes' by car. You can also take public transport to the city center in approximately 30-minutes. Attractions such as Johnson House Historical Site and Cliveden are a 10-minute walk away, and Grumblethorpe can be reached in 25-minutes' walk.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No air conditioning
The property is not equipped with air conditioning. This proved to be uncomfortable for some guests, particularly in hot weather where the rooms became hot and stuffy.
negative:
Difficult to find
There is no signage outside the property to indicate that it is a B&B, according to some guests. These guests found it difficult to locate the premises due to this.
negative:
A little too cosy
Some guests felt uncomfortable with the lack of privacy at the hotel, as the owner does not have a separate residence and the bathroom and common areas are shared with the owner and other guests. This also meant sharing breakfast together, which some guests didn't enjoy, yet acknowledged that it's part of the B&B experience.
