My husband and I just returned from a two night stay at the Kennett House and we can't say enough good things about it. We are seasoned B&B travelers and we know a good one when we see it!

The hostess was most charming and very knowledgeable about the area and the local restaurants and was most happy to make suggestions. She always had a pleasant smile and was most friendly and eager to be of help.

The rooms are very well maintained, and have all the amenities that you would require at a B&B. They were immaculate and comfortable.

Snacks and beverages are provided, as well as a lovely breakfast served in a most charming way.

We are definitely going to recommend the inn to our friends and we certainly will be back for another stay.

It's also quite convenient to all the local attractions. If you go, make sure to east at Sovano Bistro. We went there two nights in a row...it was that good!!

only 4 rooms in this fantastically maintained circa 1910 home and gilja the new owner is barely a whisper of a woman but she sure gives supersize comfort. even tho' the rooms aren't big either, they were very quiet, clean and high quality. there is a nice large round table in an upstairs (all rooms on 2nd floor) sitting area and there is free wi-fi.frig is stocked well and snacks abundant. gilja made us dinner reservations in advance(note that BYOB is popular in this region) and always inquired of us if she could help in any way.
i never could finish the good breakfast on any of the 3 days we were there...don't miss this place if you're going to be near Longwood Gardens.

We spent 3 nights at the Kennett House and thoroughly enjoyed every one. Gilja was a wonderful hostess and very helpful with directions and things to do in the Brandywine area. She made us feel "at home". We LOVED the breakfasts so don't be put off by the previous post. They were delicious and homey and we sat for hours chatting with the other guests and Gilja herself.
We'll be back!

We stayed at the Kennett House based on the wonderful reviews we saw on Trip Advisor. We were looking forward to meeting Carol and Jeff the owners of the B and B who received very high ratings based on their gourmet breakfasts and personal touches. Unfortunately when we arrived, we found out that they had sold the B and B recently.. While the new owner was accommodating and pleasant, the breakfasts were not of gourmet caliber. They were very basic with pancakes being served one day and french toast the next. There was nothing creative and the owner was not even there for the first breakfast.. The other negative was that even though you get a private bathroom, you have to walk down the hall to get to it.. We are big b and b people and I have to say this one did not stand out. My recommendation to the new owner is to work on making those breakfast truly gourmet and different and provide some ideas as to what to do in the area. The inn is lovely and snacks are provided along with soft drinks, Again it would be a nice touch if the cookies provided were home made. Effort has to made to keep up the wonderful reputation of the former owners. Hopefully things will improve once the transition period has taken place. The suggestions I am making may sound petty but the b and b's that stand out are the ones that have these special touches.

The location of the Inn is good within walking distance of Kennett Square which is a charming little town. We enjoyed having ice cream at the little Mexican ice cream place in town. They have a number of very unusual flavers. There is also a discount book store run by a senior citizen group which has a wonderful selection of deeply discounted books. Fun to brouse in..The Kennett Square Grill was very good but the Kennett Square Inn was not impressive. We did enjoy the wineries and the Chadds River Museum and Longwood Gardens. The area in general is well laid out with alot of interesting spots to see.
