The Inn At Montchanin Village

“Very comfortable Inn with charm!”

The location of the Inn was excellent. I thought the entire Montchanin Village was perfectly charming! Our suite was very spacious and comfortable. I was sad that the Inn is apparently up for sale. That might be the reason parts looked “ tired.” I hope it stays as an Inn. The place has lots of pote… lisää

“Charming historic property”

This is a cool historic property that used to be part of the Winterthur estate, one of the Dupont family’s properties in the area, and was the perfect base for our visit to Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley, during which we visited Winterthur, Nemours Estate, Hagley Museum, and Longwood Gardens,… lisää

This is a cool historic property that used to be part of the Winterthur estate, one of the Dupont family’s properties in the area, and was the perfect base for our visit to Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley, during which we visited Winterthur, Nemours Estate, Hagley Museum, and Longwood Gardens, all within 5-17 minutes driving distance. I booked a 2-bedroom suite for my family, and what I liked about this property is that the rooms have separate bathrooms, and depending on the layout, the rooms could either both be on the same floor, or on separate floors, so it was very private. I was traveling with my husband, our toddler, and my parents, so this setup was ideal for us. We were given a 3-floor apartment, so the bedrooms are on the 2nd & 3rd floors, with a living room area on the ground floor, which has a mini fridge, microwave, small sink, and comes with coffee & tea, which you can also get in the main lobby. The property was built to house the staff that worked on the DuPont estate back in the day, and the grounds are laid out like a small village with individual cottages or townhouses, which I thought was unique and interesting. It is a little dated in parts and there were some details that missed the mark, like the bed is comfortable enough but the mattress is a bit creaky, our phones weren’t working so I couldn’t call the front desk and had to walk there, the toilet paper roll was sliding off a slanted holder that was loose, and the one that bothered me most was how heavily perfumed the housing unit was when we walked in. Artificial air fresheners give me a headache, so I found the Glade plug-in and had to unplug it and air out the rooms. None of those things were a big deal to me (except the air freshener) but more attention to detail could be paid to the maintenance. The rooms were otherwise very clean and comfortable, and we loved the charm and character of the place. The staff we encountered were all warm and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book it again if we return to the area.

“Comfortable , but needs attention.”

The Inn is historic so walking around the grounds is unique and interesting. No breakfast is offered, nothing too walkable. No smart TV and you have to ask to get room refreshed. The pillows are awfully flat. My bed is OK. Bathroom nice and updated. Furniture historic, meaning marginal. Restaurant … lisää

The Inn is historic so walking around the grounds is unique and interesting. No breakfast is offered, nothing too walkable. No smart TV and you have to ask to get room refreshed. The pillows are awfully flat. My bed is OK. Bathroom nice and updated. Furniture historic, meaning marginal. Restaurant in site is good. Didn’t try any spa service. Lots to do with an Uber trip . Steps most everywhere. 3-20 so be aware of that.
