5 out of 5The Place in Greater Philadelphia
August 01, 2012
For the last two weeks in May we had the great fortune to stay in the Meadows Cottage at the Hamanassett Bed and Breakfast near Media, PA. We needed to find a furnished rental/lease that would accommodate two adults and two older yellow labradors. Ashley and Glenn Mon go out of their way to attend to the needs of all guests. On a few occasions, B&B staff member Corine was made available to feed and walk our dogs. One day, yours truly allowed his wife to take off in the running Sienna without the key for the keyless ignition. A simple inquiry to Glenn evolved quickly into Glenn providing me with the keys to his LR3 Land Rover. Glenn didn’t even give it a second thought. There are many sights and wonderful place to eat in the Brandywine Valley. Glenn and Ashley are on top of them all and enjoy special relationships with many of the locations. Our time was otherwise occupied but we’ll look to them for help the next trip up. The cable TV and WiFi worked perfectly. There wasn’t any appliance, pot, pan or kitchen utensil we could think of that they didn’t have. Just bring groceries and you’re good to go. My one disappointment was that we only managed to make it up to the main B&B twice for breakfast. A reviewer from the New York Times had highlighted their breakfast and he was right on. Our last Sunday there we enjoyed fresh waffles with melted butter and Pecan Bourbon Maple Syrup. Ashley gave us the recipe. Hamanassett is a perfect place to come for a romantic weekend getaway from New England or Washington DC. Glenn and Ashley host special getaway packages that with room and board included are a steal. Periodically they have cooking classes run by a professional chef. We will definitely go back again, with or without the dogs. And if your travels take you to the greater Philadelphia area and you’re looking for fully furnished accommodations why on earth would you go to a Residence Inn or one of those suite hotels?!

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Hamanassett. Ashley and glenn could not have been more gracious or more helpful. Our room was beautiful, breakfast was fantastic, and we enjoyed the game room and the grounds. We have stayed at a number of very nice B&Bs in the past, but this was truly exceptional.
5 out of 5Wonderful way to spend our 30th Anniversary!
April 26, 2011
We treated each other to a romantic getaway at this amazing bed and breakfast as our 30th Wedding Anniversary just so happened to be Easter Sunday this year. A very warm "thank you" to Glenn and Ashley and to their staff who are just as wonderful. The house is clean and inviting and the breakfasts are made with love. There is so much to see and do in the area and coming home to our beautifully appointed room where fresh baked cookies and a nice cup of coffee awaited was a very much appreciated bonus. We are sure to be back and will bring our friends with us.
4.0 out of 5Great Weekend Retreat!
April 09, 2011
My husband and I recently spent two wonderful evenings at Hamanassett B & B. We had planned on visiting the orchid show at Longwood Gardens, and the proximity of this inn to the Gardens made it very convenient. Upon arrival, we were met by Glenn, who gave us a tour of the inn, explained the few basic rules, and made sure we were comfortably entrenched in our gorgeous room (with one of the largest bathrooms I have ever experienced in a B&B!). He gave us some great recommendations for dining, attractions to visit, and directions to same. The next morning we met Ashley, who served amazing choices of breakfast. We dined family style with the other guests, and had the opportunity to meet some very pleasant and interesting folks. Glenn and Ashley couldn't have been any more helpful, and we certainly plan on keeping their Inn at the top of our to-do-again list!

The cottage is the ultimate in privacy. It is far enough away from the main house so that nobody can hear or see what goes on but close enough for you to get us if you need anything. Our two bedroom cottage is almost 1200 sq. ft. of English Country charm. Tucked into the woods behind the main house, it is pet and child friendly. Adults traveling without small children may have breakfast at the main house or request that the kitchen be stocked with breakfast supplies. For those traveling with small children we will stock the kitchen for you.

5 out of 5It Just Gets Better and Better
January 17, 2011
In December, we stayed again at Hamanassett, probably our 10th visit. We're always eager to go back to Ashley and Glenn's hospitality and the beauty of the Brandywine Valley area. Each time we go, there is a new delight. Elegant and sophisticated, but relaxed enough to be very comfy, this B&B rates our highest loyalty. From the beauty of the house and grounds, to the luscious bedlinens, every detail is attended to. And the innkeepers are always willing to help you find new restaurants and great activities, bending over backward to make yours a wonderful stay. Hint: whatever you do, don't miss breakfast. It's divine!
5 out of 5"A Most Memorable Experience"
December 20, 2010
Our heartfelt thanks to Innkeepers Ashley & Glenn Mon as well as their staff (Jessica) for a most enjoyable experience..... Not only were the accomodations superb but the welcoming surroundings made it all the more pleasurable. The daily epicurean surprises that awaited us each morning coupled with friendly conversation made for a truly home away from home atmosphere. Our four legged children Molly, Bingo and Belle also give high fives for a wonderful stay in the Carriage House.. Would we do it again..... You Betcha !!!!
4.6 out of 5I enjoyed your home.
August 24, 2010
Checked in late Sunday 8/22. Everything went as we had discussed on the phone. Really liked the personal name tag on door of our room. Certainly not in the wrong room with that. Only problem was the window A/C unit right above our head over the bed. Keep the room cool-but cycled on and off all night (I awoke each time). Should switch to those units that have the condenser outside on the roof and only the blower in the room. Breakfast was superb!!!! The owner was warm and friendly. We will still come back some day (we just may ask for another room).
5 out of 5Everything a B&B Should Be!
August 11, 2010
The inn and its keepers have lots of personality and charm. The food is fantastic. I got a lot of wonderful nights' sleep but was sorry to see my stay end so quickly. I can't wait to come back and bring my husband and friends to the Cooking School!
