I loved the history behind the house and the town. The orginal owner was connected to George Washington and his military exvursions.

Great Bed and Breakfast! It was quiet and had a lovely historic home. The breakfast was filling and good. The small coffee center outside of the room for convenience anytime was a nice touch. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn't get to walk around the grounds, but there are over 2 acres and the house is set back from the road so it's nice and quiet. The owners were welcoming. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a weekend away.

I loved the B&B. The owners were exceptionally pleasant. What was upsetting was the fact that Expedia confirmed my reservation with me, but not with the B&B. Thankfully, they made room for us. This is the last time I will trust Expedia to confirm with the hotel. From now on, I will confirm myself. It was extremely upsetting all around.

Charm and history

This home was originally built in 1790 and has the charm and quirks to go with it. The owner is friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. If you are looking for all the modern updates, this may not suit you. If you appreciate history, the hard work of the owner's restoration and charm, you will love it. Wonderful porch to enjoy and a walk into historic Milton.

The property was very old, but quite charming. The couple who owned & ran it were wonderful. They were very friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Breakfast was always ready when they said it would be and the food was delicious. They served the best vegetable frittata I’ve ever had, and the biscuits and homemade peach preserves were like my grandmother’s. We would definitely go back.

The historic (late 1700s) home with a wraparound porch was the best part. Cute neighborhood in a cute town near beach towns Lewes and Rehoboth. The bed was comfortable, we appreciated the tea and coffee on hand, and the full service breakfast was lovely. However, water for bathing never got very hot and the wifi was on the fritz the weekend we were there. The owners (an older couple) were very nice, though we got a slightly patriarchal vibe from the husband. Even with the quirks, we would stay here again.
