customers, the two-legged as well as the four-legged
variety, and their great word-of mouth referrals, we are
still going strong in 2007!" Dinie adds, "As hard as
it is to believe, it was 25 years ago, in April, 1982, that
we opened the doors of our Victorian Wedgwood Inn with a
dream and our fingers crossed. It has been a wonderful
journey and we truly appreciate living and keeping an inn in
this great place called New Hope."

The 1870 Wedgwood Bed & Breakfast Inn at 111 W. Bridge
Street in lovely New Hope, PA, is a nationally acclaimed bed
and breakfast inn. It is a Wedgwood-blue colored Victorian
"Painted Lady" listed on Bucks County Registry of Historic
Places. Wedgwood Inn is spelled Wedgwood, not 'Wedgewood'
because Wedgwood Inn is named after the Englishman Josiah
Wedgwood who invented the famous Wedgwood blue bone china.
The Wedgwood family name does not have a second "e" in its
spelling.
Set on 2 private acres of a park-like setting with
flower-lined brick walkways leading to two gazebos and a
hammock, yet just steps from New Hope's historic and vibrant
village and the walking bridge to Lambertville and nearby
Princeton, New Jersey.

From
the August 2007 Issue of Nouveau Magazine
 The 1870 Wedgwood Inn of New Hope “April 30th marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the day Dinie
Silnutzer and Carl Glassman (pictured) opened the Wedgwood Inn,
their bed-and-breakfast in New Hope, PA. At the time, they were
newlyweds seeking a lifestyle change. Now, after adding to their
domain the Umpleby House and the Aaron Burr House, their dreams
have been realized. “Innkeeping is as good as we thought it
would be, and more.” Dinie says. Carl notes that overnight
guests have come from thirty-five countries and all fifty
states, and now many of them are the offspring of early
clientele, arriving with their own children. Carl and Dinie are
celebrating their first quarter century by selecting one lucky
couple each month to receive a two-night gift certificate and by
renovating the Victorian gazebo that graces the two-acre
property, which is just a stroll away from downtown. Having
already added Wi-fi and several double Jacuzzis to the charm of
antiques, fresh flowers, oriental rugs, local art, and breakfast
on the dining porch, alfresco or in bed, Carl and Dinie will
surely continue to delight their guests for another quarter
century."

"We're
Coming Back"
Carl and Dinie, we are looking forward to
our stay in June 2008. As Elle had said when she called
yesterday, we were among the early visitors to the Wedgewood Bed
and Breakfast Inn. We were there with friends in 1982 over, what
we think was the 4th of July. We remember sitting on the porch
with you guys and watching a parade so are guessing the 4th. We
returned several times throughout the 80's because we enjoyed
Wedgewood so much. We also rememeber that one of the times we
came back we brought fresh bagels from New York because one of
you had said 'there were no good bagels in New Hope'.
Anyway, time has passed and we are finally coming back.

"Wedgwood is the Best!"
My wife and I have
made yearly visits to the Wedgwood Collection of Inns for the
past 12 years. We have found their accommodations, food,
service, and ambience to be of extremely high quality. Friendly,
helpful staff with good humor create a feeling of being welcomed
home. This tastefully appointed Victorian inn is adorned by
beautiful, artistically designed gardens. They are within
walking distance to the village of New Hope, which makes their
inn even more desirable and exceedingly convenient during
tourist season. Their free easy-access high speed wireless
internet connection is an added benefit for those who require
this amenity. I am a world-traveler who was raised not far from
New Hope. I know the surrounding area quite well and can tell
you, without reservation, that the Wedgwood Inn is a rare,
precious gem within the treasure chest that is known as New
Hope. We are looking forward to our next visit with great
excitement!

"Our 20
year tradition continues!"
 When my wife and I first chose an establishment in which to spend a
few nights celebrating her birthday in January, 1987, she chose the
Wedgwood Inn. Before the days of the Internet, she had seen a
picture of the main house and the 1833 Umpleby House next door in a
brochure and was intrigued. But our delight upon entering the actual
premises was much more profound, because it was indeed like stepping
into the past. The rooms were all different, but the quality was
wonderful with authentic touches of the period dotting each corner
of our "home away from home" which it became every year after our
initial visit.
Our hosts, Carl and Dinie Glassman and Jasper, the lab and now
Tootsie, the lab, made us feel almost like family. Perhaps one of
the highlights each year was getting to talk with other guests in
the afternoon when tea and cookies were provided in the drawing
room. On one memorable afternoon, we started telling jokes and
almost missed dinner. Speaking of food, Carl and Dinie know every
restaurant in town and make reservations for us, just as they did
two nights ago on our last stay. But nothing can compare to the
anticipation of having breakfast at the Wedgwood Inn unless it's
tasting the actual food. There is always something special for
guests in that bread basket or the oven.
My wife and I aren't unique in our repeated visit to the Wedgwood
Inn. We often meet people who have been there numerous times. The
charm of the city, the hosts, the rooms, the quality of the food and
the chance to step back into the past make it our favorite place.
