Darrah House

Robert Darrah’s 1849 “fine stone mansion on the Bristol Road” is centrally located in Bucks County. Darrah House is minutes from New Hope, Lambertville, the Michener Art Museum, the Mercer Museum, antique shops, the water activities offered on the Delaware River and yet provides a quiet respite away from the traffic associated with “in town” accommodations at the end of the day. Spend the day exploring, antiquing, shopping at Peddler’s Village, and then come home to a relaxing afternoon tea with home-baked cookies. Spend the night in one of four individually-decorated rooms, each with a private bath. Pack light; we provide all you need, including robes from Robe Works in all of our rooms. Fill out your menu the night before, and awaken the next morning to a three-course gourmet breakfast served in our dining room or al fresco, weather permitting.

    Review Darrah House, Warminster, PA

    Photo Album

    Garden Room

Squirrels chase each other up and around a giant oak, a butterfly flits among a maze of lilacs and hydrangeas in golden spring sunshine, a jackrabbit hops lazily along an old picket fence sniffing for goodies under an azure sky while you sway dreamily in your hammock, pondering nothing, cooled by the wafting breeze, and cotton-ball clouds drifting overhead...more a feeling than a room. Amenities: Cable TV/VCR, refrigerator, iron/board, hair dryer.
    Country Room


Wake up in your "Country High" four-poster bed, surrounded by a profusion of polychrome patchwork, in a room where chairs are tables, carpetbags are pictures, and an Amish hat hangs on the wall...Ah, but then, things are not always as they seem in the world of whimsy.  Amenities: Cable TV/VCR, refrigerator, iron/board, hair dryer.Victorian Room

Real barons and robber barons churned the green waters of Victorian Era America into a sea of opulence that spilled over into their Fifth Avenue mansions and "country cottages" in Newport. You will be awash in the green of dollars and easily imagine yourself as Jay Gould or Lady Astor in your "Gilded Age" boudoir.  Amenities: Cable TV/VCR, refrigerator, iron/board, hair dryer.
    Lodge Room

TR rough-rode his way up San Juan Hill and into the Presidency at the dawn of the 20th Century; and even more than his big stick, he loved the outdoors -hunting, fishing, riding- at a time when his peers thought of roughing it as "high tea in the garden." If Teddy were here, he would feel right at home in this posh, society bunkroom.  The Lodge Room also has a feather-top mattress for you to “sink” into.  Amenities: Cable TV/VCR, refrigerator, iron/board, hair dryer.
