We spent July 1 and 2 at the Cornerstone Bed and Breakfast. The drive to the B&B is beautiful and the house (circa 1704) is impressive!

The innkeeper, Andrew, is new as of May, and although he has a degree in hotel and restaurant management, and is in culinary school, his hospitality could have been better.

We planned our stay at this B&B to visit with an old college friend and her daughter and on the morning of our departure we met for breakfast at about 0810. We were socializing and at 0930, he said "I have held off as long as I can but I have to break you all up as I have things to do." My college friend asked if him if he could take a photo of us together and he responded "I only have a minute." I suspect this is his youthfulness and lack of experience.

The mattress in our room was horrible (the room on the first floor), and electrical outlets were loose (a potential safety issue).

On a positive note, Andrew did make a much better breakfast on our 2nd morning. On the first morning, he was off and there was a substitute innkeeper. My son's pancakes were raw/runny in the center. The substitute was very friendly and hospitable, though, and prepared another plate of pancakes that were properly cooked! Additionally, Andrew picked up a birthday cake so we could celebrate my college friend's birthday.

We had dinner at the Half Moon in Kennet Square and that was great roof top dining!

Another positive note is that there is a swimming pool - a great benefit!

On the whole, the stay was OK and it is a convenient location for visiting the Brandywine Valley! As for the Bed and Breakfast experience, I have had better.

Lynda and I enjoyed our 3 day stay, very much.
We visited most of the local sights. Longwood was beautiful. Saw the Liberty Bell in Philly. Wythe Art Museum was special.
Ate at several places. We really enjoyed the food variety at the Half Moon Rest. in Kennett Square, Pa.

We stayed at the Cornerstone while visiting Longwood Gardens one weekend and couldn't be happier with our decision. The historic house is absolutely beautiful. The inn keepers, Mike and Sue, were refreshingly friendly and extremely helpful with directions and information on local attractions. The romantic guest rooms were the perfect balance between historical preservation and modern convenience. I highly recommend getting a room on the third floor (with a jacuzzi and fireplace!). Nearly every room in the house has a wonderful view of the surrounding farmland. There are complimentary snacks, coffee and ice (perfect for chilling your delicious bottles of local vino) located on the first and third floors of the house. The breakfast was unbeatable, and the service couldn't have been better. Also, the house is situated right in the middle of some of the best vineyards in the region! If you're looking for a romantic, rejuvenating weekend, do yourself a favor and book a room. You won't regret it!

Just returned from our 2nd stay at Cornerstone & it was even better than the first. A lovely old stone farmhouse with charm to spare, wonderful views & a very relaxing warm atmosphere. Conveniently close to all the Brandywine Valley attractions - just minutes from Winterthur, Longwood etc., yet remote enough to really get away. Innkeepers Mike & Sue were gracious & helpful with local info on restauraunts & things to do. The very tasty full breakfast was served anytime between 8AM & 10AM, so we were able to sleep in a bit & relax. Breakfast was actually so generous we were able to skip lunches on both days & save our appetites for dinner! Can't wait to visit again - hopefully soon!
