I took my husband to the Widow McCrea house for his 40th birthday. Our stay surpassed all our expectations. The breakfast were not your standard bed&breakfast fare. Every breakfast was brought to our door piping hot and delicious. The cottage was like a little home away from home. It was incredibly romantic. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. We...

My husband and I wanted a last minute weekend getaway and chose the Widow Mccrea. We stayed 2 nights in Jan 2012. The hosts Bert & Lynn will steer you in the right direction on things to do and places to eat. We stayed in the Anne James Suite which has a private bathroom w/a jacuzzi tub and also has... More

My wife and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary by staying at the Widow McCrea House, in the Kase Family Cottage, which served as our base for a 35 mile bike ride to New Hope and back via the D&R Canal Tow Path. The accommodations were absolutely lovely, quaintly appointed and surpassed our expectations of a bed and breakfast. The... More

My husband and I chose to stay in the Privacy Suite for our 10th Wedding anniversary. It was SO romantic, with its' lovely Victorian decor, private courtyard entrance and soothing fountain. I also really appreciated the wonderful en suite with the Jacuzzi tub, after a full day of sight seeing! It was a completely idyllic weekend... But the best part... More

We stayed at the Widow McCrea house for our 10th wedding anniversery. It is a lovely and romantic bed and breakfast, just what we were looking for. We loved the gas fireplace and jacuzzi in our suite. As everyone notes, the gourmet breakfasts were incredible and lasted us until dinner! And Lynn was extremely personable, freindly and helpful. It is... More

The Inn is updated with all of the modern amenities but with careful attention to preserving its historic character. The owners are very friendly and accomodating to dietary needs of guests. The breakfast was outstanding, especially the French toast, which was among the best I have ever eaten everywhere. It is also located walking distance from dowtown area of Frenchtown... More

It was a beautiful evening and there was not a great outdoor sitting area, used the front porch which has alot of traffic noise. Also noisy at night which woke us up. BUT, the room was charming, easy walk... More

Absolutely loved our stay and the cottage at the Widow McCrea House! I would highly recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a beautiful, romantic, private getaway. We enjoyed spending the days exploring Frenchtown, Lambertville and New Hope but looked forward to heading back to the cottage. We loved our nights in the sitting area with the beautiful gas fireplace,... More

The Widow McCrea is not an exceptional B&B. The rooms are pretty standard compared to other Victorian B&Bs. The public are is on the small side. The grounds are not spectacular with no real view and traffic noise of a busy road. However, we highly recommend the Widow McCrea because of the hosts. Their breakfast alone is worth the trip....

An opportunity to visit with some old college friends led me back to an area near Buck's County that I've always loved, Frenchtown. I wasn't expecting much of a local inn but had heard some buzz about a little gem of a place close to New Hope but a far better value. Loving luxury and a good deal as much... More
