    Hamanassett has been named one of the most romantic B&Bs in North America by a leading travel magazine so we definitely know how set the tone for your special getaway. Our package includes a bottle of champagne, white or red wine or nonalcoholic champagne, a dozen roses in a vase to keep, a box of handmade Swiss chocolate truffles, two souvenir Hamanassett champagne glasses to take home, and your bed turned down and strewn with silk rose petals. Tell us what to write and we will also include a card. All this for only $105.00 plus 6% tax. (Because our flower supplier charges more, the price is $125.00 on Valentine's.)

    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.

    Wonderful way to spend our 30th Anniversary!

    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.

    Great Weekend Retreat!

    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!

    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!

    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 !!!!
