General Information

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.
