i had passed this magnificent old Chestnut Hill mansion countless times since childhood and, during a few days of home renovations, enjoyed its quiet elegance and midpoint convenience to home and work. The rooms were clean,comfortable and surprisingly quiet. Breakfasts were substantial and featured quality bakery fare. I asked owner, Yolanta, if I could share a few pictures along with... More

Our stay at the Silverstone Bed and Breakfast was absolutely charming! It is located close to the city center, yet just far enough to "escape". The rooms are clean and well cared for, the beds are all "Tempra-Pedic" (which I had not tried before...great support!). Our hosts could not have been more gracious. A fantastic value, since a full, hot... More

My husband read all reviews, did the research, and chose the The Silverstone B&B for my 60th birthday! He did a terrific job! The house is grand, clean, and furnished in gorgeous period antiques. Breakfast is both generous and delicious. Our hosts were gracious and sincerely friendly. We felt right at ease the moment we walked in!

My husband and I stayed at the Silverstone B&B from November 16th through the 20, 2011. We were in Philadelphia for a family wedding. The B&B is absolutely beautiful, charming and exceeded our expectations! The owners of the B&B were wonderful and catered to our every need. Breakfast was served fresh each and every day. Delicious!! Next time you're in... More

We stayed at The Silverstone B&B on October 30 and 31st while visiting friends in West Mt Airy. We couldn't have been happier with our accommodations. We arrived at the B&B around 3:00pm and found a note on the front door to come in and make ourselves at home. We went upstairs to our room (the library) and we couldn't... More

Turn into the driveway at Silverstone and you will be reminded of why mansions like this were built. Unsurpassed elegance greets you outside only improved inside with architectural beauty. From my perspective the word charm in reviews usually means one has to be happy with outdated accommodations. The charm in this residence is based on fabulous upkeep of a historical... More

We were extremely happy with the entire Silverstone experience. Yolanta welcomed us into her home, showed us around the common areas and then to our lovely adjoining rooms. Both of our rooms were very extremely comfortable and our bath was outfitted with the extra's that we hadn't thought of bringing. Breakfast was served in the dining room and was delicious.... More

Silverstone is located directly across the street from IAHP. It has a warm and accommodating atmosphere with full kitchen and laundry facilities and a hot breakfast is served every morning. There is an elevator (lift) if needed. The rooms are clean and quaint and we have never had any problems as an IAHP family through our many stays.

This is THE place to stay in Chestnut Hill! During our weekend stay, the hosts were fabulous -- cordial and friendly. We stayed in a beautiful room with a queen Tempur-Pedic and an immaculately clean, huge en-suite bathroom. The breakfast was served in an impeccably-appointed dining room. Afterwards, we enjoyed our coffee on the enormous front porch. The house is... More

Lodging opportunities in Chestnut Hill are hard to come by, so this place is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. It is secluded from the street by hedges and a well-manicured garden. Yolanta our hostess was welcoming and was proud of her establishment as she showed us to our room. This Victorian mansion was well-decorated with period furnishings. Our bedroom... More
