We could not have made our trip to Newark if we hadn't found the Blue Hen B&B! My Mom needed an accessible space. I hoped for a flexible area that my adult daughter and I could share if she decided to visit (and she did). We were blessed with an expandable breakfast, so our Newark relatives could join us --...

This was our second stay at the Blue Hen B&B-and we'll be back again for sure. Amy and Don are warm and wonderful proprietors of this beautiful, comfortable inn. Absolutely everything is above par, in every way- we can't recommend the Blue Hen enough. Make sure you leave room for an unbelievable breakfast too! Pete D

My husband and I spent two nights at the Blue Hen Bed and Breakfast. The hosts were great and very helpful about places to visit and eat. We were on a mini-vacation to visit the duPont attractions, Winterthur, Hagely Museum, and Longwood Gardens. The bed was confortable and the breakfast delicious. We would definitely stay there again.
