This boutique hotel was all I was hoping for. Its quaint, quirky and filled with charm. The owners really know their vision and made it happen. Super comfortable beds with fluffy pillows and heavenly comforters. Books everywhere. Location was perfect as its within walking distance to anything you need or want. Owners were very nice and helpful. They can get or find you whatever you need. Kcups and tea with sugar, and creamers are included. The little box of shampoo and soap and conditioners was perfect. The only downside to this hotel is the noise. It is located at a very busy intersection with a stop light. They do provide ear plugs and white noise machines to help with that. 3 off street parking spots. No staff on site but easily reachable via phone and text. Stayed in the Secret Garden Suite with a friend. The stairs are narrow and windey but handrails help you get up them! If you cant do stairs then dont reserve this this room.

Clean, comfortable and quaint room! Bed was so soft and shower had delightfully warm water and great pressure. Room was incredibly close and walkable to town. Would definitely revisit!

The Bookhouse House Hotel was our absolute favorite place we stayed all year. Room was clean and neat. Food and drinks within a block away. Check-in was easy and convenient. Owners and operators are great, helpful and very nice. Will absolutely be staying and going back this spring. What an amazing experience.

We enjoyed the property and location. The inn is a bit quirky and the interior stairs could be challenging for some but it worked for us. The moody paint and bathroom both charming. Wish we had stayed longer so I could have finished the book of essays that I started.

Super magical place. Loved the idea and execution of books everywhere. It was like sleeping in a library. Wish I had an extra day just to be lazy around the room and read. Super well maintained. Super classy.

Kennett has gained a wonderful, unique boutique hotel right in the heart of town. I remember when this building was an antique map and book shop. The charming building has been completely renovated into lovely rooms with everything you’d need to be comfortable. We will be back!

My daughter and I love to read and The Bookhouse Hotel is our dream come true! The room is amazing and you can see the effort the owners put in to make it cozy and comfortable. Plus as an added bonus there are lots of restaurants and shops just a block away. We are already planning our return trip.

The Bookhouse is a unique little spot for a short stay. There is no staff, so you will get an pdf with the code for entry. I did have to download the Hotels.com app to receive this info. The ice machine in the "lobby" did not work, but they did have extra towels and toilettries in case they were needed. We stayed in the Studio, which did not have any drawers or closet to unpack. We were only there 2 nights, so not a big deal, but I did wish I could have hung my dresses and wet jackets, as it did rain. There was a little fridge and coffee maker in the room. There are 4 free parking spots, which means one spot per room which is a lovely ammenity in such a tight little town like Kennet Square. The road outside the bedroom window is suprisingly VERY busy with large trucks constantly driving by. There is a speedbump outside of the room which large trucks hit all hours of the day and night. The room does come with earplugs and eye masks. Overall we had a wonderful stay. Perfect for a basic room to shower and sleep.

Would have given it a 5 but the street noise is so loud that not even the ear plugs that were provided by the hotel could drown out the noise. Didn’t sleep all night.

The room was very clean and cute. The bed was very comfortable! ( Probably the nicest of any) The room was located walkable to restuarants, shops,Talulas Table and bars. The only negative is that we did not sleep well because the room is on the corner of a busy street with cars and tractor trailers about 10 feet away. You can definitely hear the noise of the engines inside the room. My suggestion would be to upgrade the window or soundproof somehow because it impacts your stay.
