The Bed and Breakfast at Walnut Hill is located in Kennett Square along the Red Clay Creek midway between historic Philadelphia and quaint Lancaster County, home of the Amish. Each is an interesting 45-minute drive from this historic mill house.

Walnut Hill was built in 1840 by the Chandler family on land that was originally granted by William Penn to his daughter Letitia in 1701. The mill was built in the meadow in front of what is now Walnut Hill about 1760, and during the Revolutionary War, the Queen's American Rangers camped on the hillside opposite the property while enroute to the Battle of Brandywine.

Today, Walnut Hill offers a choice of three cozy air-conditioned accommodations: a Laura Ashley double, a Victorian wicker single and a wing with a king-size bed which may be converted to two twin beds. Enjoy the privacy of a graciously appointed parlor, a common room for visiting and a seasonal wicker-filled porch with a swing from which to view the tranquil meadows. By limiting nightly accommodations, Tom and Sandy offer individualized attention to their guests, making your stay a special event. They take time sharing local lore, mapping out tours and points of interest, securing reservations for you or just visiting. Free wireless Internet is available throughout the house as an added convenience.

Sandy, a former winter docent and also a recognized cook, has been featured in Good Housekeeping's Christmas issue. She takes pride in offering her guests a choice of a variety of culinary delights including cottage cheese pancakes with hot blueberry sauce, fresh mushroom omelettes and real French toast. All breads and spreads are made the old-fashioned way.

Local points of interest include world famous Longwood Gardens, Winterthur, the Brandywine River Museum, Chaddsford Winery, Brandywine Battlefield, Hagley Museum and Nemours, all within an eight-mile radius. Just minutes away are diversions including canoeing down the Brandywine, floating above the valley in a hot-air balloon, horseback riding, golf and tennis.

Starting in April, enjoy the scenery and challenges the Brandywine Valley countryside offers and play one of our interesting championship golf course. We tailor your interests to a course you will enjoy and at the discounted prices only the locals know about.
