While visiting grandson at Swarthmore we stayed at the Alpenhof which is 10 minutes from the college and in an idyllic setting just outside Media, Pa. Owners very attentive and full breakfast included. Room ( Master Suite) spacious and quiet for a B&B. Very popular so make reservations early.

Stayed 3 night at alpenhof in heidi's room. B&b is in a beautiful location in outskirts of Philly. Room very comfortable with a great hot shower. King size bed was lovely and room nicely decorated. The breakfast was very nice. You got to try the warm muffins. They are devine. Innkeepers very friendly. Even did our weekly washing.

This was great. We had the cottage which was superbly kitted out, very quiet, and a perfect place to relax after our travels. The breakfasts were very good and the whole ambience of the place is perfect.
