- - - - - - - - October, 2023 Visit Our family visited Philadelphia for a family wedding. We had a good time. Our niece recommended staying at the 1740 House, and we are glad she did. - - - The Building - - - While most of the property was built in the 1960s, and significantly upgraded since 2000, the main sitting room, where they serve the coffee, and the one bedroom, were actually built in 1740!!! The property is right next to the Delaware River, the longest free-flowing / un-dammed river on the East Coast; both the NJ and PA side have canals; the 1740 house is immediately on the canal, which is immediately next to the River… the views from the main building and from the rooms are wonderful! - - - The Team / The Staff - - - Pam and the rest of the staff, including housekeeping, are very gracious, welcoming and helpful. - - - The Food - order pencil-on-paper and ENJOY! - - - Breakfast was included; you order on paper sheets the night before. Breakfast is GOOD! We enjoyed: - broccoli fritatta with bacon - Belgian waffle with big pieces of sugar mixed in, for a nice, light crunch, with apple topping with bacon - phenomenal - they have coffee and cream, tea, and also yogurt, bread/muffins, etc. - And they have bacon! - Did I mention how phenomenal the Belgian waffles are? They are phenomenal!!! - - - The Rooms - - - The rooms are similar and unique. The beds are so nice; not too soft like other placed; high / tall beds that are firm… nice. Strong radiator heat is readily offset by cracking the window to maintain just the right temperature. Irons and ironing boards in each room, to make sure you look your best. TVs are in a hutch with doors that you can keep closed and not see the electronics - NICE! Thank you for the great visit, Pam and team at the 1740 House! ----- ----- -----
