General Information

A warm, cozy feeling of time past awaits you at the historic 1840 millhouse in Kennett Square. Period antiques, Oriental carpets, orchids, turndown service with chocolates and bird watching at breakfast help to create an atmosphere of tranquility. Walnut Hill, located in the heart of the Brandywine Valley, midway between Philadelphia and Amish Country, is minutes from Longwood Gardens, The Brandywine River (Wyeth) Museum and Winterthur. Nature lovers will enjoy the grounds where horses graze and a blue heron fishes the stream. Guests enjoy walking the country road, sitting on the wicker-filled porch or relaxing in the hot tub. Come let us pamper you!
