10/10 Exceptional
Mar 7, 2025
My husband and I BOOKed this beautiful, newly renovated property with books everywhere, for a romantic early Valentine's day so we could enjoy Longwood Gardens and the Brandywine Art Museum. We were not disappointed! We stayed in the elegant and plushly comfy Darlington Suite to enjoy reading in front of the fire before dinner at 1906. We got a twofer as the sunset dipped down amongst the bare winter trees outside for even more glow factor! The prompt and friendly communication with the property manager prior to check in and in getting the fireplace instructions, as well as the delightful meeting with her and the owner and family before checkout as they were preparing for a full house on Valentine's day, were the happy, feel good "bookends" to our short stay and just one more reason to return to this lovingly and stylishly restored historic homage to literature. Oh, and the photo booth! So fun! I can only imagine how beautiful the property, grounds and patios will be in the springtime! I should mention too, that the hotel is located in the fork of two roads, so there was some road noise during the day, but it did quiet down at bedtime. However, if one is sound sensitive, ear plugs or white noise will ensure a quiet nights sleep in the delicious 4-poster bed.
Thank you, Stephanie, Meg for the opportunity to veg in such an inspired and relaxing setting! All the best in your dream venture! 📚☕️👓📖 🍷💖
