Porches on the Towpath is an oasis of tranquility and casual elegance in the heart of New Hope, Pennsylvania. Porches Bed and Breakfast is the ideal spot to experience the warmth and charm of Bucks County lodging.
Porches is tucked away at the end of a quiet lane and fronts the historic Delaware Canal. Walkers and cyclists pass by on the towpath right outside our garden gate, mules clip-clop past pulling barges, and the whistle of the steam train floats across the canal.Yet New Hope's bistros, antique shops and historic sights are only steps away.
Originally built as a granary in the 1830s, Porches Bed and Breakfast has been extensively renovated and carefully preserved. We offer five charming and comfortable guest rooms, all with private bathrooms. A full country breakfast is served daily in our inviting common rooms or on the wrap-around porch overlooking the canal.
The next time you're in New Hope, stay with us at Porches on the Towpath and enjoy the tranquility and gentility of a bygone world.
Your Hosts,
John Byers and Billy Camburn
