Montchanin is a happy place for me.
I stay in a cozy hidden cottage room and it's across their resident restaurant, Krazy Kats.
I can Uber or Lyft to wherever I'd like to visit easily.
The staff is friendly and accommodating.
Make sure you let them know if you'd like housekeeping during your stay.
This place is a wonderful haven!

Checked into the property and was informed by desk staff that there was no internet nor cable. Could not upgrade us because we booked through Expedia; we would have to pay the difference even though they didn’t provided additional services. No breakfast is served but there is a coffee station in the lobby. Room was small and we realize this is an inn but was smaller than expected. Cannot recommend even though we have previously; it’s looking rather beat.

The Inn at Monchanin Village is a group of cottages and not your typical hotel per se.
Registration is at the main office, or as they call it, The Barn.
I was a little confused at first but can honestly say that I loved my stay there. Staff is friendly and caring. and my cozy little room / cottage was perfect for my needs.
I could walk to \"The Barn\" and call a lyft or Uber to go wherever I needed / wanted to go. Was perfect for me.
Room was kept clean but you need to let them know if you want it serviced each day during your stay. I do not know if they are pet friendly, but I do not currently have a pet.
I plan to go back in the Spring, Summer or Fall.
Christmas visit was fun and lots of sales at nearby places.

The 2 rooms were great. Very clean and spacious. The shower pressure was excellent. Three minor details. The sink hot water got very hot very quickly (scolding). The shower fills up a bit and leaks a little. Lastly, the handicapped parking where we were told to unload has a dark spot near the stone parking marker where I tripped twice (needs some ground lighting). Aside from those minor issues the room was a great value for the money. This was our second time staying there and we would go back again.

The Inn is charming but is more of a collection of houses. None of the rooms are in the main building and you can't drive to them. So be prepared to lug bags across streets, down paths, etc. The path to our room was not well lit at night. And there was no offer of help with luggage. There is a lovely great room where you can get together and have wine or play games. But it is in the reception building so it is not accessible without going outside. The onsite restaurant is not open for breakfast or lunch and there is nothing in the immediate vicinity. Food requires a car ride for sure. They don't even have brewed coffee - just pods and no ability to have tea. Pods are regular only, no decaf. Be very careful of charges to be added to the room. We were quoted a museum package for $55 and were charged $111. They didn't have us sign for it at the time so now they just say it is our word against theirs and won't refund the extra charge. (The tickets would have cost $80 without the package.) They also would not give us a folio showing the charge so I just saw it on my credit card statement. They said because it was hotels.com there couldn't give me a statement, even for the additional charges. The room itself was nice with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The room sizes were quite different with one much more deluxe than the other. It was nice to have an extra bit of room though. However, with their lack of handling of the billing issue I am certain not to return.

My daughter and I spent two nights at The Inn At Montchanin. The bedroom and bath were lovely and had every comfort that you that you can imagine. However, I thought when I booked the room, there were no stairs you entered the little house into a small living room where there was a sofa, a chair, a small sink, microwave, a refrigerator (when they say complimentary drinks, they mean two sodas) and a. TV. The stairs to go upstairs were very steep and I, being a 78 year-old woman, had a very hard time going up the stairs since I live in a one story condo. I definitely would consider going back if I could have a room without stairs.

The Inn consists of several different small buildings with a few rooms in each. Our room was cute, with a very nice large bathroom. It was on the third floor of one of the small buildings. No elevator, so this needs to be considered in case of mobility issues. No breakfast, but there’s an in room Keurig coffee maker. We did not try the Kraft Kats restaurant. While this hotel is close to Winterthur, Longwood Gardens, and Brandywine State Park, it’s definitely car dependent.

Great stay

Stayed here for a few nights so we could attend my son’s graduation at University of Delaware. This place was a fantastic option since it was not far, only about 25 minutes away and we could get a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite so the whole family could be together. The grounds were just beautiful and the cottage quaint and beautifully appointed. Bed was comfortable. We wished we had more time to spend there. The only downsides and these are truly minimal- we would 1000% stay there again.
1- they don’t tell you online the suite has 2 sets of steep stairs. This was not an issue for us since we had our young son with us but had we had my aged in-laws with us as originally planned, it would not have been good. You do have to climb a set of steep stairs to get to each bedroom.
2- the TVs are very outdated. I get it- it’s a historic hotel but then either commit to that and have no tv or get with times and upgrade to a real flatscreen for each room. Again, we weren’t there much so not an issue for me so much as my husband and son who wanted to watch the NBA playoffs together. The small monitor like tv in the common area was not ideal.
3- the common area in the suite was not very comfortable. Again, think old small furniture we all had to retreat to the bedrooms to be comfortable and then we couldn’t be together. Small improvements could fix that. Bigger tv hanging on the wall, comfortable couch..
Other reviews have noted the close proximity to train tracks. It’s true, they are close.

Charming historic inn in a beautiful Brandywine Valley location, but the experience was mixed. No breakfast, unfriendly service, and the spa was fully booked—which was frustrating for overnight guests.

Our room was clean and characterful, but the steep, narrow staircase inside felt unsafe—we nearly fell carrying luggage. Gorgeous setting, but overall disappointing stay.

We have stayed many many times over the last 10 years at the Inn at Montchanin Village and have always loved it for its unique charm and wonderful location. In recent stays we have noticed that it is in need of an overall interior renovation. Lampshades are torn, windows don't close, and fabrics are worn. We do hope that the owners will breathe new life in this little treasure.

I cannot remember a worse experience. On the day of my check-in, management called to inform me of a water system breakage the day of my arrival, they felt they had resolved the problem and checked me in as planned. I was surprised to find gray water coming through the faucets, shower, and the toilet. The room smelled like a sewer. They didn't clear the system nor certify that the water was safe to drink or bath as his required in most jurisdictions. I never felt comfortable showering and never drank the water after that.

At 10p one night, while preparing for bed a very loud alarm came on in the room. After taking a look inside and outside I concluded it was a false alarm. After about 3 minutes of screeching alarm, I attempted to call the front desk. No answer. I waited another 3 minutes and called again. No answer. At this point, my ears were ringing and so I disconnected the alarm.

Just as I was about to get in the bed, I was startled by the entry of two fully geared up Firemen rushing up the stairs in my room. They did their job, but it was awkward standing in the middle of the room in my underwear.

To add insult to injury, about 30 minutes later, haven't gone to bed, the phone rang and surprise. It was the front desk, advising me that the alarm company would need to enter the room at 8a. I had 2 calls scheduled for that morning and was forced to leave my room to conduct them.

Finally, I was told I would be charged hundreds for the alarm co service call.
