The 1870 Wedgwood
Bed and Breakfast Inn has successfully been hosting small families
since 1982.
“This is my 10th entry
into your Guest Room Diary. I first stayed with you in 1985 with my
then 10-year-old daughter Jane. You had just opened Umpleby House
and your Jasper was just a puppy. Jane & Jasper grew up together
over the next 15 years…” Then Jane and Steven honeymooned here in
1999…“and now I am returning with my two year old granddaughter to
play with Tootsie, your new lab puppy. A third generation Connor
girl at the Inn! Thank you for sharing your loving Inn with my
family.” Genna, Baltimore
MD
 Some bed & breakfasts discourage kids, and
some guests are looking for a quiet getaway. As
parents, we know what it is like to travel as a family. We
pride ourselves in accomplishing a pleasant experience for both
types of travelers because we have specialized, but limited accommodations that work great for
a family with a child. The Inn's park-like setting and close
proximity to town with all its child-friendly attractions make New
Hope's 1870 Wedgwood Inn the ideal destination for you and your
child.
So, if your child sleeps through the night,
appreciates fine linens, bedspreads and antiques too, then let us
help you all relax and enjoy your visit to Bucks County.
Your Hosts,
Carl and Dinie, live in a separate house on the
Inn grounds. Their daughter Jessica gladly shares her movies and some
of her toys.
Sometimes she will even show guest children her secret tree house.
