Pineapple Hill B&B Inn of New Hope

  • Inn Details

    Enjoy the charm of a beautifully restored colonial manor house built in 1790. Set on almost 6 acres, this Bucks County bed and breakfast rests between New Hope's center and Washington Crossing Park. The eighteen inch walls and original woodwork at Pineapple Hill exemplify a craftsmanship long forgotten. On the grounds, the walls of a stone barn enclose a beautifully hand tiled pool. The rose garden now lies where the spring house once stood. The ruins of the original summer kitchen surround an outdoor sitting area. Breakfast is always a treat. A scrumptious full breakfast is skillfully prepared and served at individual tables in our common room each morning.

    Pineapple Hill is a great place to stay for a cozy getaway. It's just far enough out of town that we didn't have to deal with the noise but close enough that going into town was not a hassle. We stayed two nights and each morning the breakfast was delicious! The room we stayed in (Buckland) was the perfect size for us and very comfortable. Looking forward to visiting again soon and we definitely recommend Pineapple Hill to anyone looking to get away for a couple days!

    Pineapple Hill is a great place to relax for a weekend. We were in need of a restful couple of days away from our normal hectic life, and that is exactly what we experienced at Pineapple Hill. The staff could not have been any better and were attentive to our every need. Breakfast was outstanding with all of our favorite foods all freshly made. If you come to the Philadelphia area and need a peaceful place to stay please lookup this inn, you will be glad you did.

    My husband and I just stayed at Pineapple Hill for our honeymoon and just fell in love with the place. It was close enough to town to go site seeing and shopping but far enough to feel like were on our own private get away! We stayed in the MagnoliaSuite which was gorgeous. I spent an hour enjoying the 2 person soaking tub and after a long run on the canal it was so refreshing to come back and jump in the pool! We will be coming back every year to celebrate our anniversry and are already looking forward to it! By the way Cookie your breakfast was delicious!!!! Thanks again Cookie,Kathryn and staff for all your hospitality!

    there are some really nice things about this Inn. The owners are friendly but not too much. Having a pool was a must in summer. We were there in 100 degre wather. It is right down the street from downtown New Hope. The inn is from the 1700's. While that is cool historically, it makes the rooms a bit small. The room we stayed in was clean, but not anything special. The bathroom could use a bit of updating. I personally like a BnB that has little touches. The one thing that dissapointed us was the breakfast. One of the main resons we like a BnB is that. It was basic instant oatmeal store bought muffins and them simple scrambled eggs and bacon. Adding something different and unique even fresh fruit cup and french toast might be good. For the money it is good. If you want a special BnB not so much


    Like Seeing Your Best Friends!

    Coming to Pineapple Hill isn't about staying at a Bed and Breakfast. It's more like being with your best friends. Kathy and Cookie go out of their way to make us feel welcome and meet our every request. The staff is warm and welcoming; the rooms very user friendly and breakfast is always a sumptuous treat. Pineapple Hill is a place that we just can't stay away from. Whether it is a one night stay or a week long vacation destination, we always come away rested, refreshed and looking forward to our next visit.
