We had a wonderful stay. We were welcomed by a very kind and friendly couple who made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The house is beautiful and has a very interesting history that made our stay even more special. Roland, the owner, personally gave us a tour of the property and shared fascinating stories about the house. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the breakfast room was warm, cozy, and inviting. We truly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and memorable stay.

Wonderfully unique B&B in the woods

A very unique place. Outside looks like any house in the neighborhood, but once you step inside, it feels like you’ve stepped into a medieval castle of sorts. Amazing old world charm, and works of art and pictures everywhere. In the dining room are a lot of pictures of the house thru the years so you can see the progression. I was told the house is over 300 years old.
The hosts were great, very friendly and accommodating without making you feel like they were hovering. They serve a “cook to order” breakfast every morning. Everything was delicious, quite a few options on the menu. The place was clean, quiet and the surrounding grounds were lovely. It’s apparent that they love nature and gardening as there are many plants and flowers everywhere. Unfortunately the pool was closed due to the season, but the pool area looked inviting if the weather permits. I highly recommend a stay here.

Alpenhof is everything you’d want in a B&B times a thousand. The owners greet you warmly and remain available while giving you space. The rooms are impeccable - every detail thoughtfully designed for the experience, and each bed (I’ve stayed in different rooms over the years) is so sooo comfortable!! There’s an enormous amount of gorgeous space - inside each room, in the incredible common areas, and on the landscaped grounds outside. I’ve never had a desire to re-visit a hotel or Airbnb or B&B before - but I’ve been back to Alpenhof half a dozen times over the last few years - each stay consistently amazing - and am always excited to stay again. If I could give twenty stars I would - outstanding experience!!!

It was back in the Ridley Creek State Park area of Media, PA. It is an older building that has been renovated. Each room has its own bathroom with shower. The breakfasts were delicious and individual to each guest. The owners are very personable, willing to talk and suggest places to see and visit. The B&B is fairly central to many Delaware County attractions and downtown Media where there is quite a bit of shopping and places to eat. I would recommend Alpenhof to anyone wanting a quiet location outside of town. If we are back in the Philly area again will definitely stay there.

This was my second time staying at the Alpenhof Bed and Breakfast and once again, it did not disappoint. It is decorated in such a neat, eclectic manner and every room is different with its own unique features and charm. There is also a beautiful private pool and garden area for outdoor enjoyment. You can tell the owners, Roland and his wife take great pride in their property and go out of their way to treat you, not as customers, but as house guests visiting their home. They could not be any nicer and the cooked to order breakfast (along with fresh fruit and Danishes) is fantastic! Not to mention, the location. You are a stones throw from the small, quaint town of Media, PA, with lots of local restaurants serving everything from Indian, to Mexican, to American fare with everything in between. Great Bed and Breakfast and great location. Definitely recommend!

Magical Stay at Alpenhof B&B

From the moment we arrived at the Alpenhof Bed and Breakfast in Media, PA, we knew we were in for a treat. The hosts, Roland and Anh, greeted us with warmth and kindness, making us feel instantly at home. Their two adorable old dogs added to the welcoming atmosphere, eagerly greeting us as we entered the property.

The breakfast at Alpenhof is, without a doubt, the best we've ever had. The pastries are simply out of this world, and the fact that breakfast is cooked to order adds a personal touch that is hard to find these days.

The property itself is a sight to behold. It feels like stepping into a magical kingdom, where gnomes and fairies might just be real. The beautiful garden serves as a wildlife sanctuary - it's home to rabbits, chipmunks, and an array of birds. Alpenhof offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

We stayed in the family cottage, a charming space furnished with eclectic decor and wonderful antiques. The bed was incredibly comfortable, complete with a nice heavy down cover that ensured a good night's sleep.

In conclusion, our stay at Alpenhof was nothing short of magical. From the delicious breakfast to the enchanting surroundings, it's a place we'll certainly be returning to. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with exceptional hosts, we can't recommend Alpenhof Bed and Breakfast enough.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Alpenhof B&B. The host was informative and provided great instructions on accessing the property, walking the gardens and the history. He’s very laid back and wants his guests to have a relaxing stay and we did despite some bad weather making travel to and from our events a bit scary. The umbrellas available to borrow were really helpful! The art and flowers throughout the property make this a very unique property. The pool was lovely!

Our room was a bit small but very comfortable and very clean. The shower pressure is very strong and probably should adjusted a bit as it can make manipulating the shower curtain to prevent spray outside of it pretty tricky.

Breakfast was very nice, cooked to order from a menu with nice variety. I personally am an early riser and would love to be able to get some coffee before 7am but other than that, I have no other suggestions. Alpenhof is a lovely place for a relaxing weekend in that area of PA. We certainly would return to it if back in the area.

This property is so unique and beautiful. The artwork and the furniture are so intriguing. The common areas are private and quaint. The innkeeper and owner, Rowland, is genuinely welcoming. He and his staff cook made to ordered breakfast each morning, including fruit and pastries. The dining table and chairs remind you of King Arther and the serving items are one of a kinds made by a local artist.
My husband and I travel each fall for Naval Academy football and we always try to find a B&B. By far this is one of our favorites. Media downtown at this time of year looks like a Hallmark Christmas movie.
You will not be disappointed staying here. Ask the owner about the history of this historic hay barn turned into a home. 300 years…..oh if these walls could talk!
Thank you Rowland for an amazing Army/Navy and birthday weekend!

I typically do not stay at B&Bs. But I was pleasantly surprised during this trip. Anh and Roland our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent and beyond what I would have gotten at my favorite restaurant. The room was clean and comfortable and the rest of the house was filled with beautiful and interesting decor to admire. I am planning on returning again with my husband.

The location is beautiful. The living room of the house is comfortable and cozy. The bedroom was very comfortable as well. The breakfast menu is amazing - fresh fruit, pastries, plus an extensive menu of items to choose from, and the food is excellent.

I loved the beautiful garden and the pool. However there seems to be a miscommunication btw the BnB owner and Expedia (discrepancy in the payment info) which gave me an unpleasant experience about the billing at the end.

Roland and his wife are wonderful people! The breakfast table is full of friendly conversations and the French toast is AWESOME! Your home away from home. We will be staying again and so will our friends. Thank you for making my husband’s birthday even better! The home is safe, warm , comfortable, clean and welcoming.

I can't say enough great things about my stay at Alpenhof, including Roland the wonderful and exuberant caretaker. My experience was nothing less than phenomenal- the breakfast delicious, my room warm and relaxing, the staff friendly and helpful, the amazingly beautiful grounds (don't forget your swimsuit for the garden pool), the absolutely gorgeous house filled with aesthetic pieces of fine art and international curios, and the furniture and woodwork created by Roland himself. It is rare for me to even leave reviews in the first place, and I only leave one when my experience is absolutely stellar, like this visit to Alpenhof. :- ) If you need to stay anywhere in this general vicinity, I can guarantee you will not find a more suitable place with character and beauty. Period!

This place surpassed all expectation!! The house is amazing - beautifully decorated, both unique and atmospheric — and the grounds are stunning. There is a good sized swimming pool surrounded by flowers. The hosts were exceedingly friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was off the charts - freshly baked pastries, fruit and pretty much whatever else you wanted they were happy to make it. The town of Media is small but charming and there is a big park about a mile down the road with shaded walking/running paths next to a river. This place is a gem. Highly, highly recommended.

If you are looking for a hilton or courtyard experience this is not for you. Instead this is a large family home with 7 guest bedrooms all unique and personally attended by the husband and wife team and their 3 dogs. It’s relaxing comfortable and like staying with family or friends It is not commercial in any way and nothing is too much trouble. It’s a vacation in itself. A leisurely breakfast which is included is a lovely way to start the day on the deck weather permitting

Amazing gardens. Loved it. :)

I quote my teenagers, \"It was amazing!\" The gardens and grounds were beautiful and relaxing. We sat by the pool and chatted while listening to birds sing and watching chipmunks and squirrels scurry around. Breakfast was lovely and very filling so that we did not eat lunch later. We stayed in the stand-along cottage which had a great kitchen space where we made tea and played cards. we had an excellent view of the garden. Also enjoyed the resident dogs.

Unique, interesting home beautifully maintained with lovely gardens surrounding a relatively large pool. Delicious breakfast served on locally sourced ceramics. Each room is different and there is not a single corner that has not been lovingly and tastefully decorated. The owners are super friendly and attend to their guests with great care. We were on a road trip and this was a true treat!

Wonderful landscaping, unique design, full of art, large tapestries, antiques, stenciled wall finishes, original mosaic ceramic tile designs, all in a restored 300 year old restored stone barn all in prefect condition. The owner operator gave us the history of the building and it’s rebuilding. The breakfast was the best we ever had and all made on site. Our best ever experience in any hotel or B & B.

Just outside Media, PA (and near a state park), Alpenhof B&B is perfect for visits to the Philadelphia area. The breakfast is delightful, and the hosts very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

I've stayed in many alternate lodging, prefer something out of the norm. This was the most beautiful place I've stayed to date! The hosts were so friendly, the puppies were a joy (i was missing my dog), the furnishings and decoration throughout were stunning. I just loved it - can't wait for a reason to go back!

Not great.

I typically love a good bed & breakfast. But not this time. Very dark and gothic interior. The room was so small we could barely walk around the bed. Nowhere for luggage. Window sill was about the only place to set stuff. (The one small nightstand was loaded w lamp, glasses, etc). We left a day early. Should mention breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. Also, you must like HUGE DOGS. They have 3.

Alpenhof’s home is just beautiful. From the outside of the property to every detail inside this warm and cozy home, I felt like I was taken to a magical place. Anh made me feel like I knew her for years. Our stay at this b&w was amazing! We cannot wait to go back in the summer to swim in the pool by the garden! Thank you for having us.

Cannot give enough kudos. An exquisite family estate transformed into one of the loveliest bed and breakfasts we have ever experienced. The gardens are inspiring - the rooms are beautifully appointed - the pool delightful - the breakfasts perfection. The owners are as warm and welcoming as their B&B. We hope to come back soon.
