Gourmet cuisine is served in Byron’s Dining Room, with the duck chambord always a hit.

Housed in a Victorian mansion dating back to 1898, this lovely old guesthouse echoes with history at every turn, including in the rooms – each named after states represented at the Battle of Gettysburg. There’s a lovely garden adorned with flowers where you can relax with a cocktail, while the breakfasts here are second to none. Be sure to try the shoofly pie and raspberry almond tart.

The Inn at Whitewing Farm, for farmhouse luxury in West Chester

This homely B&B is in the bucolic and charming Brandywine Valley, housed in a 1700s farmhouse. Rooms retain heritage features like fireplaces and marble bathrooms, while upholding modern standards of hotel luxury. Breakfast is served in the former hay barn – the home-made breads and parfaits will certainly set you up beautifully for a day’s exploring the area’s many wineries.

Bed and Breakfast

You’ll be enchanted by this Pennsylvania bed and breakfast from the minute you enter the grounds – where manicured lawns, a tree-shaded pond and a fire pit are among the many places you can relax. The rustic charm continues inside – with wood-beamed suites featuring cozy living areas, garden views and, in the opulent Master Suite, a hot tub. The barn is a century old and furnishings were sourced from local Amish craftspeople.

Fallen Tree Farm Bed & Breakfast, for countryside quiet outside Carlisle

Bed and Breakfast, Farm

The name evokes a rural, edge-of-the-world idyll and that’s exactly what you get at this lovely stone property – set on 20 acres (8ha) of horse farmland. Rooms have lovely homely decor and period touches like clawfoot bathtubs – choose Coyle’s Hideaway to fall asleep to the gentle tinkling sound of the fish pond, just outside your window. The farm is famed for its breakfasts, with chocolate bread and Devonshire strawberry tart among the highly prized offerings.
