    We perhaps were spoiled and had too high expectations based on our last stay at the Woolverton Inn, and the Inn at Bowman's Hill prior to that... While both the aforementioned are truly expensive and high end - they can easily skew your view of any other traditional B&B. We also believe we'd have enjoyed our stay here significantly more if it had been spring or summer and we could take advantage of the entire experience. Very nicely decorated and warm hosts. The breakfast was a slight disappointment, only again, due to our more recent experiences - but the food that was provided was very tasty. Coffee brewed and delivered for breakfast would be a big plus, versus the little coffee maker in the room. Otherwise, a lovely stay.

    My husband and I booked the suite to celebrate our anniversary. We had a great time. The room was big and cozy, the atmosphere was romantic and relaxing. The breakfast is out of this world. I will definetely book again! Maritza and Marocs Gonzalez

    What a welcome! We stopped by the Widow McCrea House and immediately felt right at home. The hostess was charming and friendly and showed us to a lovely suite with an enormous jacuzzi. Our stress melted away. We felt pampered and indulged in our own private getaway. The fountains outside our room were melodious and relaxing and the garden was in full bloom. We could smell the roses from our window. Breakfast came to us each morning in a basket right to our doorstep. What a delight! We are so glad we found the Widow McCrea House. Could it get any better than this?

    This is such a charming Inn. This has been my 4th time there. We love the location and the breakfasts are the best! My husband and I go to many bed and breakfasts and really enjoy this type of experience. On our last visit, we stayed in the luxurious Anne James Suite. This is our favorite room yet, but next time we want to try the Kase Cottage. We like to experience each room since The Widow Mccrea House is a unique environment. Every room is different, so our goal is to try them all. Frenchtown is a quick and easy drive from our home in Delaware, so it makes it easy to get away without going too far away. We recommend the Widow Mccrea House to our friends and this year we want to give Widow McCrea gift certificates to our friends for the Holidays.

    The people were very nice. They cooked an excellent breakfast. They were also very knowledgeable about area events and attractions. The place is on a main road, and our room was in the front of the house, so there was some road noise. I would recommend asking for a room in the back of the house
