The Pennsbury Inn
Bed and Breakfast

The Pennsbury Inn, built on acreage purchased from William Penn's Commissioners in the seventeenth century, is a historically prominent bed and breakfast in the Brandywine Valley of Pennsylvania offering exceptional lodging accommodations and decadent breakfasts.

The original dwelling was erected in 1714, with various enlargements made throughout the years. The Inn is situated on eight acres of sculptured grounds bordered by woodland trails, offering privacy for special events and catered parties.

The Pennsbury Inn's four sitting rooms, seven bedrooms, dining room, and landscaped grounds comfortably blend colonial heritage with casual elegance. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Inn is a large but cozy retreat with uneven floorboards, slanted doorways, winding staircases, and huge open fireplaces. An extensive collection of antiques and old books add to the Inn's inherent charm. Featured in Colonial Homes, Travel and Leisure, and both the NY Times and LA Times travel sections, the Pennsbury Inn is one of Chester County's showcase properties.

All of the guestrooms have feather beds, telephones, cable television, and lovely private bathrooms. Many rooms also feature decorative fireplaces with electric firestove inserts. With a private winding staircase, the Lafayette Room, the oldest bedroom in the house, offers characteristic comfort. The antique headboard of the king bed is the centerpiece in the Four Seasons Room, a spacious room with a garden view and large closet.
