Our HotelPlanner expert reviews of Brandywine River Hotel

Our experts HotelPlanner experts periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person.
"Cute, Charming Hotel located in the Brandywine Valley"
Overall score3.5/ 5
The Brandywine River Hotel is located in Chadds Ford off of Route 1, within minutes of many attractions like Longwood Gardens or Chaddsford Winery. The hotel is set back off the main road behind some shops, an art gallery and a restaurant called Brandywine Prime, Seafood and Chops. This is not your typical hotel more like a bed and breakfast atmosphere. They are small, charming, historic, European style with décor that reflects the country setting and captures the essence of the Brandywine Valley. Amenities include continental breakfast, afternoon tea with cookies, and complimentary parking-plenty of space for busses, fitness center and small meeting rooms. I would recommend this hotel to any leisure traveler especially weddings or bus groups.

"Great location, clean and welcoming."
Overall score5.0/ 5
We stayed here on the way home from the Poconos on route to the shore deciding on a side trip. The prices were reasonable on the location is fantastic. There are high end and middle range restaurants within walking distance and the Brandywine River Museum is two minutes away. Very comfortable queen suite and the hotel desk manager was very hospitable. Very clean. Breakfast had plenty of choices for a continental breakfast.
