This B&B is absolutely excellent. It's our second stay and it's even better than the first. The rooms are beautiful, clean and comfortable. The brunch is five star and repeat guests are always a great sign of excellence. We recommend this highly.

The building has a unique charm, and the owner was very friendly. The bed was soft and the proximity was great for a wedding in Newtown Square. Also, the neighborhood was very quiet.

Our hosts were very lovely. They were so accommodating and they served a delicious breakfast. Their property is surrounded by a beautiful flower garden and the inside of the inn is truly an art museum. Our stay was peaceful (exactly what we wanted) and the pool made the scorching outside temperatures bearable. If you're visiting the Media, PA area, I promise that you'll love Alpenhof Bed & Breakfast.

It was back in the Ridley Creek State Park area of Media, PA. It is an older building that has been renovated. Each room has its own bathroom with shower. The breakfasts were delicious and individual to each guest. The owners are very personable, willing to talk and suggest places to see and visit. The B&B is fairly central to many Delaware County attractions and downtown Media where there is quite a bit of shopping and places to eat. I would recommend Alpenhof to anyone wanting a quiet location outside of town. If we are back in the Philly area again will definitely stay there.
