We have visited the Brandywine Valley/Kennett Square area in the past, but this was the first time we stayed right in Kennett Square. The location was perfect (a short walk into the wonderful center of town), our home was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, we had parking in front of the door, and the small touches that make a week's stay a "home away from home" were all present. There are wonderful restaurants (take out from Talula's Table), The Country Butcher and The Produce Place (which rivals big city markets) and the best ice cream you will have (from La Michoacana Homemade Ice Cream). There were pleasant walks in all directions from our home, and we took day trips to some of our favorite places in the area (the antique shops down the road in Chadds Ford, Strasburg, Doylestown and the Michener Art Museum, Wilmington and the Delaware Art Museum, and Oxford and its Amish market). There are many more great experiences for first time visitors--Longwood Gardens, Winterthur, Nemours, Hagley Museum, Lancaster, New Hope. All in all, we plan to stay there again when we visit Kennett Square and I don't think you will find a better place to stay in this beautiful region of PA. Stay right in Kennett Square and you will discover a surprisingly cosmopolitan, friendly and successful small town that has the ingredients for a wonderful holiday.
