The reception area was nicely decorated for the holidays. It was warm and welcoming. My friend could sit there for a long time and read and relax. I found the lady at the reception desk to be helpful and courteous. The room was clean and about average. What we did not like was the tub/shower combo. Dangerous for seniors. There should be grab bars to prevent the chance of falling.

Very cute and welcoming
The place was very cute and felt welcoming. The fireplace was running in the sitting area and cooking were ready to eat. They had a nice Continental breakfast. Definitely on our favorites list. We could not find the heat and air conditioning control in the room though.

My wife and I stayed here when visiting Longwood Gardens. Though the room had some dated elements, it was really well maintained. The bed was comfortable, and we had an enjoyable stay. A short walk to three restaurants and a coffee shop. A short drive to Chaddsford Winery and Longwood gardens. A quiet and convenient hotel.

Great find
Great find for an overnight stay while visiting Longwood gardens. Close to Longwood and the Brandywine museum.Room was clean, beds comfortable, continental breakfast good. I reserved 2 rooms and they kindly gave us adjoining rooms. The TV in one room didn't work but it was not an issue for us. Would recommend staying here.

We were in a room with an adjoining door to the next room. The door was not at all soundproofed. The people in that room had a baby who cried a lot during the night and it was very loud. We didn't get much sleep.

The Brandywine River Hotel is a classic, smaller hotel that offers a personal feel. Check in was very easy. Our room was clean and comfortable with a nice view from our second story window. A complimentary breakfast was served in a bright, cheerful room, and we enjoy sitting in their cozy lobby in front of the fireplace while we planned out our morning. I would absolutely stay here again.

While the hotel provided a code for entry, the room number was embedded in the code and not explicily stated. Poor communication for entry details is a problem that needs to be fixed. More importantly, there was no information on when breakfast started. There is no coffee in the rooms and none made in the pantry area. When breakfast is included it needs to be available for early risers. Inexcusable.

Bed needs work, not comfortable because you roll into the center hole. Mattress needs replacement. Had to wait for coffee to be made and then it was so weak it was undrinkable.
