The Pennsbury Inn located in Chadds Ford, PA is an historically prominent bed & breakfast offering exceptional accommodations and activities in the heart of the Brandywine Valley. The B&B is situated on eight acres of sculptured grounds bordered by woodland trails and is only minutes from Delaware and the city of Philadelphia. The Inn proudly offers a blend of colonial heritage and country elegance. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

If you enjoy antiquing, there are dozens of antique shops in the Brandywine Valley! The historical Amish farmlands - and their horse and buggy way of life - is within a 40 minute scenic drive. Approximately 50 minutes away, along the Main Line, you'll see the Barnes Foundation (a stunning collection of art). And for the sports enthusiast, we are located just minutes from excellent horseback riding, canoeing and golf.

We look forward to hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to meet with you!

Chip and Cheryl were very warm and friendly. They personally welcomed us into their inn and provided information on the area attactions and restaurants including the Brandywine Treasure Trail Passport that saved us a lot of money on admission to the attractions we were visiting. The house and yard are beautiful and the food was excellent! I would stay there againd and recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Anyone who provides us with a soft, comfy bed…and chocolate on the nightstand to boot is on the fast track to becoming a friend for life! Innkeeper Cheryl’s decadent bedtime treat of homemade brownies and bonbons provided good dreams aplenty. So how did we end up in chocoholic bliss in Chadds Ford? Luck! Rather than make two back-to-back long-distance business trips, my husband and I decided to look for overnight accommodations in the Chester County, Pa. area. Through a special promotion, we found Pennsbury Manor Bed and Breakfast in Chadds Ford, Pa. A great find! Chip and Cheryl were lovely hosts. They have taken a very old, historical manor, dated circa 1714, and made it into a comfortable, cozy home away from home for the weary traveler -- the perfect blend, as the brochure says, of “colonial heritage and country elegance.” While we had to miss the first day’s full breakfast, Chip provided a “brown bag” to go of freshly made breads and jams, strawberry smoothies, fruit, and coffee. The second day we sat down to a delicious egg salsa, homemade apple sauce, homemade breads, and fresh fruit. Almost as an afterthought, I spied what appeared to be granola. It was, but what granola – not your grocery-bought item, but instead, Cheryl’s own homemade version. Yum! We dined alongside a wonderful fire in the 17th century fireplace. With a wall of windows overlooking the vast gardens (eight acres in all), it was heaven on earth. While the current scenery is a delightful winter wonderland, one can only imagine what the view would look like in a blaze of color in the coming months or the shades of autumn this fall. Our room was cozy and delightful, the bed fluffy and comfortable. Chip gave us the grand tour – if you love history, you’ll enjoy hearing the story of those who walked the halls before us. We’ve stayed in numerous “4-star” B&Bs and we’re picky. This one ranks right alongside the best. We’ll be back!

What a lovely place to stay! The innkeepers were wonderful - friendly and very informed about the history of the inn and surrounding area. Lovely common areas to relax and enjoy (great fireplace) and the french toast was superb! The bedroom was very comfortable and well kept. A wonderful place to visit for a relaxing weekend away from home.

We wanted a relaxing weekend and this was the perfect B&B! The house is a beautifully restored inn from the 1700s, with lots of original character. Chip and Cheryl were very gracious, helped make us feel very welcome and had lots of nice touches for guests including homemade cookies, snacks and soda, and always had tea, hot chocolate and coffee available. The B&B had wonderful common areas to lounge about, lots of windows for sunlight and beautiful grounds to wonder around. We spent an entire day sitting in front of their giant old fireplace reading books, planning games and having the most relaxing day we've ever had. The area is also beautiful with plenty of activities to keep one busy. This is the best B&B experience we've ever had, and we look forward to returning.

We (4 of us) stayed here for incredible convenience to Longwood Gardens and Brandywine River Museum. If you're into history, this is the place has tons of it, and Chip is eager to share. I'm not so much, but my friends are--so they loved it. Cheryl's gardens are quiet now, but still lovely atmosphere. I'd love to see it in Spring and Summer. The beds were very comfortable (we stayed in Longwood and Guest room). Staircase is tight, so if you have knee problems, something to consider.

Response
We're so glad that you enjoyed our comfy beds, convenient attractions and that some of you enjoyed our extensive histoy. Of course when that history includes an 1859 winder staircase, we do have to remember that those 19th century bodies were made diferently than ours today!! That's all part of the ambience.

Our group of 7 girlfriends tremendously enjoyed our weekend getaway of bonding and relaxing at the Pennsbury Inn. We loved the charm & stories of the old inn. We were pleased to have booked the private parlor & several adjoining rooms so that we were able to have some privacy yet keep our group together. Chip & Cheryl were respectful of our large (sometimes boisterous) group and were not intrusive or overbearing at all - even let us take over the kitchen to prepare our own dinner one night. We felt right at home right down to the wonderful breakfasts. Great stay!

Response
Chip and I have always felt that groups would work well here and this is the first time that we've received confirmation. We strive to guide, advise, but not bother give our guests privacy, let them have fun, yet not bother others. We love to help guests plan out special visits and are so glad that yours was one of them.

We enjoyed our stay at Pennsbury Inn more than we can ever express in writing. Our favorite memory of our too short visit was the hours we spent lazing in the gardens, just taking in the birdsong and flowers and sunshine. It is a magical place! We were both totally overwhelmed by Pennsbury and felt like we were visiting old dear friends for a couple of days... plus I really liked the breakfast pizza! Also, the tip on visiting Nemours was spot on... it was amazing and now we want to come back and visit other DuPont homes and gardens. We have told everybody who has asked about our weekend away that your place is the best B&B ever, so don't be surprised if you get some more visitors from south of the Mason-Dixon line. We can't wait to come back ourselves, we just need to figure out when we can get away again. Thanks again for a wonderful unforgettably lovely visit.

We stayed in the Winterthur roon with a picture window over the gardens below. chip and Cheryl were very gracious hosts. Full breakfasts were teriffic and timing was very flexible. I would recommend this inn to anyone going to that area! BF
