1732 Folkestone Bed & Breakfast - Bed & breakfast in West Chester - 777 Copeland School Rd, USA

To unwind and refresh after a hectic holiday season, I gave my wife a Decompression Weekend at this historic B&B as a Christmas gift. It is less than an hour from our home, but we felt as though we were on vacation and kept forgetting that we were still in suburban Philadelphia. Marcy opened the front door for us before we could knock and welcomed us. She gave us a tour with the history of the house, made us feel at home, and recommended dinner and sightseeing spots. She also made us two delicious breakfasts, while Walter built fires in the fireplace during breakfast and whenever we decided to curl up on the couches and read. The Rose room is spacious and comfortable with a king bed. Snacks and beverages were always available in the kitchen. Robes were appreciated, since the private bath is directly across the hall. Marcy and Walter sitting with us for breakfast and telling us about their family and hearing about ours personalized our stay. Conveniently located for a day of exploring West Chester Borough which is what we did; Brandywine Valley sights such as Longwood Gardens and Baldwin Book Barn also nearby. Totally, a lovely, relaxing weekend.

Our friends had never stayed at a bed & breakfast before this weekend. We treated them to an overnight at Folke Stone and what a treat it was! We were in town to visit Longwood Gardens for an illuminated fountain show. Our timed tickets were for 6:30 so we planned to arrive at the inn by 5:30. We were a bit traffic delayed so we called Marcy to let her know. She and Walt were so thoughtful! They quickly met us and gave us keys, gave a brief orientation, and sent us with directions to Longwood. In the morning, they prepared a delicious breakfast with outstanding coffee. They even gave us a thorough tour and full history of the house and its restorations. We appreciated their flexibility with our arrival time and our payment the next morning rather than at arrival. They also allowed us a one night stay instead of their preferred two night minimum on weekends. At breakfast, Marcy & Walt both sat with us for a friendly visit. Our friends could not stop talking about how comfortable and totally charmiing the whole experience was for them! We highly recommend a stay with Marcy & Walt at Folke Stone!

Very interesting and beautifully restored historic home. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. All rooms are up a steep staircase and all bathrooms are in the hall. The Jenny Lind room is quite small and the bathroom was tiny. Breakfasts were good, we were the only guests for 2 of the 3 nights. The B&B was about 10 mins. outside of West Chester, so we ended up doing more driving than we had planned on. Overall, a good base for exploring the Brandywine.

My husband and I stayed at the 1732 Folke Stone B&B for two nights. The owners were were wonderful, so friendly and told us a lot about the house's history. We really enjoyed chatting with them and hearing about their facility. The living room is incredible with beautiful exposed beams and a cooking hearth. I got a real feel for what the house would have been like in it's early days. We stayed in the Rose room which had a very comfortable king size bed. Our private bath was right across the hall and easily accessible. Breakfast was very nice with fruit, fresh made pastries, and eggs. Everything was delicious and plentiful. We very much enjoyed our stay at this unique B&B and would highly recommend it as a great way to step back into history.

Charming bed and breakfast located in a quiet area of West Chester. The historic house dates from the early 1700s. Our innkeepers Marcy and Walt were extremely kind. They answered our questions about the history of the house, its restorations, and area attractions. They gave us a very complete tour after a delicious breakfast. The fresh fruit and french toast with bacon were fantastic! The coffee was also outstanding. Our stay was simply delightful in every way!

We were in town for a few days to attend a world premier of a friends new musical. The hosts Marcie and Walter were very friendly. Marcie, a former nutritionist, made some great breakfasts. There was time in our schedule to talk to them and another guest, Will and his wife, during breakfast. That was a treat. Another guest in the house was out early to attend a nearby lacross meet. A wonderfully restored house. You could see the large hearths used for heat, cooking and a social moment for the colonial family.The area was full of history. We also went off to Longwood Gardens. The DuPont estate was breath taking. Worth hours. I think younger kids would have some trouble sustaining interest but there were plenty of activities aimed at them. On our way out we went to the Brandywine Museum where many Wyeth paintings could be viewed in a spectacular riverside museum setting. I'd go back again.

We had a lovely stay at this b&b.They have 3 rooms which can accommodate 2 in each room. It has been refurbished to reflect the 1700's. The owners were so very nice. Marcy and Walter made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfasts were astounding. Well more than we could eat. ||They even let us heat up leftovers one evening when we didn't have time to eat when we were out. ||Anything to keep us happy. I would definitely come back here again. Also each room had its own bath.

My wife and I stayed here for my birthday trip to Longwood Gardens and were impressed with the very comfortable historic nature of the home and the welcoming hosts at Folks Stone. We stayed in the room with the king bed which was neat cozy and even had two robes. We were there on a quiet Sunday evening to Monday and were the only travelers there that early in the week. The breakfast was stellar and I even got a birthday surprise
