Guest Comments
We enjoyed our stay at your B&B. Great location.
Thanks for your hospitality - and breakfast-in-bed!
This
is a super comfy, cozy, beautifully decorated inn. The homebaked
cookies, Carl's secret recipe Almond Liquor and the fresh-picked apples
were great touches. Our Breakfast Tray was beautifully presented too.
Friendly and knowledgeable innkeepers topped off a relaxful midweek
escape from life. Loved New Hope and the whole inn experience here. "Finding New Hope Again" "This small Pennsylvania rivertown melds its history - from 18th
century village to '60's artist colony to trendy getaway destination
- into a comfortable whole....The Wedgwood Inn is a two minute walk
from Main Street - and Lambertville, New Jersey, a sister rivertown
on the east bank of the Delaware River. Rooms are appointed with an
eclectic mix of Victorian furnishings, Wedgwood china and original
art...our first pick for lodging in New Hope."
Native son, James A. Michener, welcomes you to Bucks County. (1994)
Bucks County is one of the few counties in the United States that is
famous under its own name. Cook County in Illinois and Dade in
Florida are other examples. Bucks County enhanced its well deserved
fame in the early years of this century and for three good reasons.
First, its considerable physical beauty and its abundance of old
family dwellings made it attractive to residents of New York City
and Philadelphia. This made it a kind of residential paradise, with
its winding roads, covered bridges and beautiful valleys. Second, a
group of wonderfully gifted painters congregated in New Hope, making
it the art capitol of the area and the center of an entire school of
painting. Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield and John Folinsbee gained
national attention.
Third, in the 1920's onward a much different group of famous writers
settled here, with Pearl Buck winning the Nobel Prize and others
winning Pullitzers. George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart wrote their
stage hits, Sid Pearlman his memorable satires, Dorothy Parker her
witticism and Oscar Hammerstein his great books and lyrics for stage
and musicals.
Bucks County was covered with writers and painters, but its good
reputation also rested on the basic structure of the area. The
small towns of Doylestown and New Hope became popular, the first for
two castles built by Henry Mercer and New Hope for its sense of
Nineteenth Century charm and interesting biuldings and fine dining.
Other towns like Quakertown and Bristol offered their own historic
riches.
As a lifelong resident of Bucks and as one proud of his
region's heritage of old English and German culture, I am proud to
welcome you to my county and to extend hospitality to you and your
family. We have always welcomed visitors - since the time of
William Penn. George Washington had an auspicious time here, so did
Edward Hicks, painter of "Peacable Kingdom." And so can you.
