    Wonderful experience

    May 26, 2013

    We took two rooms for three nights. Our son and wife joined us to celebrate Mother's Day weekend. The house is charming. We had no issues with noise from other guests, even though it was full. Breakfasts are elaborate. Gilja was kind enough to vary the menu for my wife who is diabetic. Location for sightseeing is perfect. We plan on coming back to see all the things we didn't have time for and will stay here again.

    A Very Pleasant Stay

    February 11, 2013

    Our host, Gilja, was welcoming, knowledgeable about the area, and considerate. Breakfasts were delicious. We will recommend Kennett House to family and friends.

    Kennett House Is Great

    January 22, 2013

    The Kennett House B&B has 4 rooms. We stayed in the Delaware Room on the 2nd floor and on the back for two nights There was no noise and the room was immaculate. The cleanest B&B we have visited. The breakfasts were outstanding with fruit, juice, banana loaf, coffee, and eggs and bacon first morning, and pancakes and sausage the next morning. We recommend Gilja Kusano's B&B as an outstanding place to stay.

    Exceptional B&B!

    January 06, 2013

    From the moment we entered this well-maintained, beautiful inn, we felt at home. Host Kusano-san provided thoughtful guidance for touring and dining in the area, and discounted tickets to Longwood Gardens. She cooks a scrumptious breakfast and was a delight to share the day's adventures with. Having lived in Japan, we also shared a common interest, but that's not necessary to thoroughly enjoy this well-appointed, well-located inn.

    Everything It Is Described to Be

    December 26, 2012

    I researched the Kennett House online before booking. All the positives I read are true -- very nicely restored historic home; clean, inviting, well-located, reasonably priced. Nice hostess, good breakfast. I would stay there again
