that was part of a land grant from William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. The Brandywine with its fields, woodlands, and waterpower, is a unique place that has fostered natural and human achievement.
On this land battles were fought, and fortunes were made. Out of those fortunes and a commitment to stewardship have sprung some of the world's most fascinating attractions and large tracts of preserved open spaces. We have four seasons of breathtaking gardens, elaborate mansions, world-class museums, scenic beauty and many cultural points of interest along the way.
Aside from our close proximity to such world-class attractions as Longwood Gardens and Winterthur Museum, the Brandywine Valley innkeepers offer an experience unlike any other in the valley. Sip afternoon tea on a quiet verandah, sleep in an antique bed, curl up with a cozy quilt, relax in front of a warm fireplace, soak in a luxurious jacuzzi bath, take an evening stroll through fragrant gardens, and indulge in a hearty breakfast. Choose from a variety of architecturally styled homes that have been lovingly restored to welcome you. We have federal style mansions, farmhouses, Victorian homes and Georgian manor houses.
We'll help to make your stay in the valley a pleasurable and memorable experience as you enjoy the personalized service that an innkeeper provides. After an uplifting and fun day exploring the valley, we can recommend restaurants that cater to your tastes and preferences. Whether you want a gourmet restaurant or a casual local favorite, you'll find it within reach of your B&B.

There’s that wonderful feeling as you walk outside. The fragrance, clean, crisp, and slightly perfumed...
it must be “SPRING” in the Brandywine Valley
Wow, April arrives and there’s no holding back. There’s not enough time in the day to attend everything that the Brandywine Valley has to offer. Longwood’s landscape comes alive in April and May with hundreds of acres of flowering trees, shrubs, and bulbs. Of course the conservatories are a sight and fragrance to behold. Be here for the Kite Festival April 12 & 13 and the Nature’s Houses “tree houses” grand opening on April 25th. May 13 and 14 is the Wine and Jazz Fest and on May 17 & 18, a weekend of grilled food and cooking demos. This is not to mention all of the educational classes, lectures, celebrities, concerts, etc. And you’re not going to believe this. Pick up a coupon at any of our B&B’s to see both Longwood and Winterthur though April 30th. The dazzling beauty of Winterthur’s glorious 60 acre garden is ever changing, ever more beautiful. There’s a new tram tour and the walking paths are breath taking in spring. The “K For Kids” exhibit continues through mid July and “Double Vision” introduces you to the Winterthur of the 1930’s in 3-D!! This year is the 30th anniversary of the Point To Point Races on May 4th and the tours of the house put the Newport Mansions to shame with all their glory.
Spend hours at the Brandywine River Museum exploring the incredible Wyeth Family’s creations as well as others in the Brandywine School. You’ll love Victoria Wyeth’s tours of her grandfather’s and uncle’s masterpieces and thrill at the NC Wyeth House Studio and Keurner Farm tours. Do not miss the Rubayat of Omar Khayyam Exhibit through mid May or the Annual Wildflower and Native Sale on Mother’s Day weekend.
Did we mention the Hagley Museum, Nemours, and Brandywine Battlefield? Outdoor activities galore… Antiquing, wineries…
The Brandywine Valley has it all!
