Lumberville 1740 House

Loved the charm and the warmth and welcoming feel from the staff Judy was a gem Will definitely be back Didn’t get to enjoy outside because of the cold so will try for a spring time arrival next time It’s proximity to peddler’s village and New Hope was a plus Was a great time. Thank you so much Rodger and Linda

This was a good place to stay to bike the canal. Great views from the room. We did not have a good experience dining there, however. Despite having an early reservation (6:30 PM)--we felt rushed. The server actually brought out the entrees while we were still eating the appetizers. She then completed all the final cleaning--with her jacket on--while we were eating. We definitely got the impression we were infringing on her free time by not completing our meal until the late hour of 7:30 PM. As for the food, we chose the stuffed chicken entree and the Opa fish entree. They were both horrible. It was hard to even look at them. I don't know what the chicken was stuffed with, but it was mushy and tasteless, as were the accompanying vegetables. The fish, sitting atop a mass of mushy rice and who knows what kind of gravy was inedible, as were its accompanying vegetables. Based on the reviews and claims on the website, we were really looking forward to staying here. The dinner definitely detracted from the experience.

Lovely setting for the hotel. The hotel's ambience is charming and every room has a river view, it seems. The rooms are clean, the shower is fine, etc. We have stayed here 3 times, so we like it. Some rooms are spacious and wonderful. Our last room, however, was very small, and not very comfortable (room #12). Apart from the bed, there were two hard wooden chairs at the foot of the bed. The TV was to the left of the bed, and to the right of the chairs, making it perpendicular to them so that there was no way of using it. In addition, the women at the front desk seem to have forgotten that they are working in the hospitality business. We were early for check-in, and understood we may not be able to check in right away. The first woman curtly told us we were early, but she was at least kind enough to let us know she can call us when the room is ready. She did so within half an hour and we headed back. When we got back, there was another woman at the front desk, and she was short with us, telling us we are early and the room is not ready. We told her we had been called, and she backed off and let us in, but it was not a good way to treat guests. In addition, the breakfast, is varied in its offerings that include varied fruits, cake, cereal, juices, etc. It is served in a lovely restaurant overlooking the river. The staff (cook?) was gracious when we arrived earlier for breakfast than we had signed up for. They had prepared a very beautiful looking frittata-a work of art! However, that beauty needed more taste.

Lovely stay in a quaint historical inn. Very good dinner onsite and breakfast. Windows open in the room (room #15) with a ceiling fan which I always enjoy. Plus electric gas fireplace and a river view with balcony. Highly recommended. Walk to Black Bass Inn - another historical inn and cross over the bridge to a lush park. You need to drive to New Hope yet there is enough for one night/afternoon to stay put here.

This is a quaint, quiet inn along the beautiful Delaware River, 20 minutes from New Hope, which has become a tacky free blocks of T-shirt shops and souvenirs for day-trippers from Philadelphia . Lambertville, NJ, has more upscale galleries and boutiques. The hotel room we were given had a wonderful and comfortable king-sized bed, but the bathroom was tiny and kind of vintage 1970s. One venetian blind in our room was broken, but being a Saturday, there was no maintenance person around to repair or replace it. No big deal, but not a great impression. The buffet breakfast was very good and the view of the river was excellent. My wife and I had stayed here decades before and it was pleasant to return. I'm not sure we'd go back if we were in the area as there are many other options nearby. The common room and bar are great, but small.

My husband and I went for our anniversary and they made it so special. They even had a bottle of champagne waiting for us upon arrival. The room was great, the dinner and drinks were amazing, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff were friendly! We are going to make it our new anniversary tradition.
