This is just an amazing bed and breakfast. If you need to be in the area, i cant recommend it enough. I came during a snowstorm and the management was so very thoughtful and accommodating, being willing to change my dates or give me late check in as needed. The owner has lovingly furnished every room with unique, beautiful antiques. They gave me a choice of available bedrooms. Mine had a gorgeous black marbe fireplace and step up antique bed. Honestly, it was so pleasant for me to stay here during a difficult trip for a friend's funeral. I felt very comforted and at home and the stay lifted my spirits.

The Delano Homestead is an intimate B&B that offers visitors all the comforts of home. My husband and I felt as though we were staying with friends rather than at a B&B. This is in part because of the wonderful innkeeper, Tracey, who always made us feel at home, but we also had a chance to meet the owner, Paul, who was just as welcoming. Our room was charming and comfortable, and very tastefully furnished with period antiques. We enjoyed learning the history of the home when it was owned by the Delano family. We also loved staying in a quiet, residential neighborhood away from the bustle of New Bedford, which was our reason for visiting the area. Should we make a return visit, we will certainly book the Delano Homestead again. It made our stay memorable.

Cute little B&B smack dab in the historic part of fairhaven and walkable to local restaurants. I did get the 3rd floor room, which on one hand was a 3rd floor, on the other hand, absolutely wonderful and I'd deal with the stairs again to get it. There was a neat view of the area, the bathroom was large with a claw foot tub, and it was it's only little spot away from everything else. The person that checked me in was also friendly and helpful and breakfast was great.

A charming historic B and B in peaceful Fairhaven,

This is a charming B and B with a historic twist having been the residence of FDR's maternal grandparents and which he visited as a boy. We loved our cute little attic room. Comfy beds and immaculately maintained. Upstairs rooms are a steep climb for those with gimpy knees but the ambience made up for that.

The history of the property was intriguing to us when we considered our stay. It was a unique opportunity to stay in a home that has ties to former president Franklin D Roosevelt. It could have been my oversight, but we were surprised that the bathroom for our room was down the hall. It really wasn't a big deal as we basically had the floor to ourselves. I was also surprised that the rooms don't have doors that lock, but again, it was no big deal as we were the only guests. The owner and property manager were both gracious and very hospitable.

In a word: wonderful

One of the loveliest and most charming places we’ve ever stayed; I wish we’d been staying more than just one night, and intend to in the future. The historic house itself is beautifully detailed with furnishings appropriate to its era—the attention to detail is remarkable, yet fully outfitted with comforts and utilities of 21st-century life (USB charging ports, Roku streaming). The absolute best of both worlds. The breakfast was hearty and delicious, the company of other guests was delightful, and Paul and Tracey were at all times gracious, accommodating, friendly, and informative hosts. Simply can’t say enough good things!

The name while inviting, belies its history as the living/gathering place of the Delano and Roosevelt families for over 150 years. It is a beautiful property on a quiet street in an historic part of town. It is well maintained, historically accurate and beautifully furnished. Instead of simply a brief notation as to its history, they actually had many photographs, books and news items going back nearly 200 years related to the families and their history for one to browse through. Breakfasts were amazing! Bountiful in amounts with a wide variety of food and drink options to suit most dietary preferences. Coffee and small snacks were available throughout the day. The owner Paul is an on-site, hands on person, very engaging, with a wealth of information about the house, history, the MA/RI area and many helpful suggestions which he readily shares. Likewise was Liz, the day to day manager of all aspects of the B&B. Not only was she also a great source of information and in addressing any needs we had to make our stay even more comfortable, she is a super nice person and a pleasure to spend time talking with. We fell in love with this place and will definitely stay here again when next travelling to New England and highly recommend it to others.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was a little small, bed was comfortable, and we had a private bathroom which was recently redone with a claw tub. We stayed in a room upstairs. There were 2 rooms plus the bathroom upstairs. We were the only guest upstairs so we had the whole top floor to ourselves which made up for the smaller room. The only issue we had was our breakfast. It's not that they didn't have a lot to offer. They had cereal,yogurt,fresh fruut, store bought pastries,bacon,sausage, coffee,tea,and juice. We were just very disappointed that nothing was homemade. We've had some wonderful breakfasts in the past at B&B''s. The home has a lot of history so we enjoyed hearing about that.

Great value and experience!

Had a great stay here recently - such a great, historic building! We stayed on the top floor, which was very private (though watch the low ceilings). Breakfast was plain but very good and filling. We look forward to our next stay!

Great place to stay!

We were traveling on the East coast for extended travel. Heidi and Paul were wonderful! They were fun and had lots of great travel ideas. The house is a historical treasure. We need more time there to really appreciate the house as we were also trying to explore the area. The house is set in a neighborhood which is quite lovely and very quiet.

Exquisite B & B!

Wonderful b & b. An experience of this caliber and cost, however, should include a full cooked breakfast. Self service from an array of yogurt and breads etc..altho complete... from the kitchen seems inappropriate. Wonderful personnel! Wonderful historic neighborhood great for exploring. Excellent restaurants within walking distance.

Lovely historic B & B in a hidden gem of a town

The B & B was comfortable and decorated beautifully. The hosts, Paul and Heidi were welcoming and relaxed. Heidi told us so many interesting things about the house and the town and suggested we take a guided tour of the town which we loved. The breakfast was perfect - yogurt, fruit, eggs, cheese and pastries plus juice, coffee and tea.

Apart of history

A stay at The Delano Homestead Bed and Breakfast is like being apart of history. The home brings you back in time but with character and charm. Everything about the Bed and Breakfast is wonderful, from your room to breakfast, to chatting with the owner and inn keeper both knowledgeable and eager to share the homes stories. Hope to return one day.

A visit to the New Bedford Whaling Museum

We planned a visit to the Whaling Museum and that evening would stay at nearby Fairhaven. I found the Delano Homestead online and booked a room several months before our trip down from Maine. The Delano Homestead met or exceeded our expectations in all category's. Situated amongst historic homes on a quiet street we walked about taking it all in. A walk to dinner to Elizabeth's Restaurant and Bar was also a treat. Would recommend without hesitation.

Attending wedding in Mattapoisett on Sunday June 7

We really wanted to stay away from all the commotion of the pre wedding festivities as I was recovering from an unexpected hospital stay. We got there Sunday and had a lovely lunch at one of the local restaurants which was priced well with great food. Heidi was a great hostess and Paul was also host/Owner.
