We have stayed at the Terry House many times but this was the first time since the new owners took over. Simply amazing! The hospitality and the beautiful rooms were exceptional. We cannot wait to go back time and again to watch the progress.

The Magnolia Room, our favorite.
Steven Jon K.

I have always been delighted with the Terry House for two decades, with my favorite room being the Magnolia Room on the second floor with a view of the main street. This is an excellent and surprisingly quiet place to watch the folks of New Castle going about their daily business along with some tourists. Sue serves a delicious homemade breakfast each morning and helps you to catch up with the latest local gossip. Ms. Deemer is still around at the age of 99 and is amazingly sharp. In some ways it feels like a trip back in time although you are always in the present with excellent modern wi-fi. This house is conveniently located in the center of town within a few blocks of everything. I plan to keep returning here.

“The location is a true old colonial waterfront town - and Jessop's Tavern - VG & reasonable $$ fare - is a 1/4 block walk.”

Miller-Dunham House Bed & Breakfast - Door leading from our bedroom to the balcony

Miller-Dunham House Bed & Breakfast

(8 reviews)

Hubby booked a 4 night stay for us at this lovely colonial Bed & Breakfast in Odessa, DE. We had…read morebeen traveling cross country from Las Vegas and he wanted to show me his childhood hometown of nearby Middletown. This is not a hotel were travelers just book a room in a large chain-hotel, this is an off the beaten path and an actual HOME on a small street with no sidewalks. I was struck on how warm and homey this place felt and how welcoming the Innkeepers (Jeff and Linda) were. We were even greeted by the newest Miller-Dunham resident, Avalon "Avi", a 6-month golden retriever who Jeff and Linda just adopted days before. We were shown to our room (The Commander which was clean, tidy and spotless with a beautifully spacious bathroom) and then showed the rest of the house and the beautiful backyard. If stepping out of reality for a weekend and into a quaint, peaceful and relaxing environment - this place is your bet! Evening was an enjoyable time to relax out in the backyard, especially when at dusk the firefly's start their evening lighting dances. The overhead strings of lights added a warmth, just making the place even more charming. Retiring for the night was easy, as the bedroom and bathroom gave hubby and I plenty of room to maneuver. Then settling into that bed, oh my gosh, super comfortable! I completely enjoyed sipping my coffee outside in the early morning sunshine and listening to birds where I could collect my rambling thoughts before breakfast and live in the present, gratified at the quality sleep that I had. Breakfast was called out at 8:30 each morning. Jeff and Linda work very well as a team to prepare and present wonderful breakfasts each morning and Avi was sure to greet each of us with her good morning smiles and tail wags. A couple of the breakfast mornings, there were other guests in attendance and Jeff and Linda didn't miss a beat in tending to each of us with warm conversations and smiles. They even took the time to modify their pre-scheduled breakfast menu for those who had food issues. It was wonderful to come downstairs each morning to the smells of something delicious being prepared in the kitchen for us. One evening, hubby and I walked two blocks to another historical gem, the Cantwell Tavern. We were given a discount coupon at the house so we wanted to check out the menu. It was like stepping back into the Colonial times as you explored this building. This was my first bed and breakfast experience and I hope now that this won't be the last. How can you not fall in love with this secret little place? You feel like this is a little like home, even with the house pet greeting you every time you return back. I highly recommend this B&B experience at the Miller-Dunham house and cheers to Jeff and Linda for making us feel welcomed and even a little sad as we said our goodbyes.

When we arrived at the circular drive to the 1860's Darlington Mansion our hopes increased. Innkeeper, Lori, met us at the door and toured us through the three stories of this well preserved and restored mansion. Inside we found a gorgeous home, well appointed with period pieces. Lori showed us all the rooms before taking us to the Percy Suite, an elegant area with a sitting room, walk-in closet, and gas fireplace. The bed was very comfortable and several windows made the spacious room feel even warmer. We travel often and have stayed in dozens of B and B's. We've learned the innkeeper can make or break your stay. Lori is a gem. She makes you feel welcome in all the common spaces and around the grounds, has a small frig for your cold items, and even offers a variety of wines for your enjoyment. We had a glass of Mondavi Cab. Quite nice. Each room has a guest notebook covering Lori's great 8 restaurants and area sights to see. Thoughtful and well done. We opted for her top choice, Vudu's Cajun Cuisine and had a great meal. In the morning she puts out coffee and tea at 7:30 am then serves up a mean breakfast at nine. We skipped lunch that day; we were so full. If you are in the West Chester area and love a romantic getaway, this place is a must. Lori also does wedding venues and business stays. We wish her the best of successes.

You can go back to my earlier review to see that I really enjoyed my stay at the Bookhouse at…read moreFaunbrook. However, I felt I needed to update my review based on a customer service issue that followed my stay. I stayed at hotel for a night in December 2025. Last week - ten months after I stayed there - I noticed the hotel charged my credit card for around $250. Since I had not made another reservation, I was very confused why the hotel had charged me. I immediately went to dispute the charge with my credit card but couldn't since it was still pending. So then I called the hotel. Someone answered the phone, and I explained the situation. They said they would pass the message along and I would likely hear back from someone within 2 hours. 24 hours later, I hadn't gotten a call back, so I called again and this time left a voicemail. They never called me back. I did dispute the charge with my credit card company and did research on my own while I waited to see if they would call me back. After looking through my credit card charges from December 2025, I could not find a charge for the Bookhouse at Faunbrook. My credit card company closed the dispute and reinstated the charge. What I now think happened is that they never charged me - 10 months ago!!! - for my stay and simply charged me ten months later. I'm basing that on the fact that I couldn't find a charge, but they never called me back so I can't be sure if that's what happened. I'm mostly upset that they didn't bother to call me back and explain what happened. Charging me 10 months after my stay? Maybe something happened and they had to do it, but I think that warrants a call back and an explanation. I've recommended this hotel to a friend who has already stayed here, but after this experience, I won't be recommending to anyone else. If you stay, be sure you are aware of when/how much you are charged for your stay, since they are clearly having some issues in this area.
