For the past 20 years, two special friends and I have met yearly for a fun 'girl' weekend of shopping, eating, drinking and of course, major talking. This year we were lucky enough to choose The Lexington House for our get-together, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
One thing we've learned over the years is that it's very difficult to find accommodation for three women in one room. The Lexington House actually has two rooms that qualify via a Queen bed and a funny flop-out couch-bed for the third person. Okay, the couch bed wasn't all that comfy, but the top-floor room was bright and breezy, with fresh flowers and pretty furnishings.
The entire house is immaculate, and Mike and Ed have truly thought of every detail to make your stay memorable. The home itself has been beautifully restored, with lovely gardens and a stone pool area (complete with grazing deer. ;) that must be a dream in summer weather. It's an easy 5 minute ride to the center of New Hope where there are some terrific restaurants and unique shops to peruse.
The breakfasts were varied and delicious, served amid gorgeous antiques, and home-made snacks and filled cookie jars were available when you were hit with a snack-attack. Mike even sent us home with baggies of treats for the road!
One other thing we all appreciated was Mike's ability (Ed was out of town) to be helpful and friendly without interfering. I've been to some B&Bs where the proprietors pull up a chair and join the conversation, but I'd rather be chatting with my friends.
All in all a wonderful B&B run by experienced, professional, thoughtful neatniks, who also happen to be great cooks. Does it get any better than that? We'll be baaaaaaack!
