Porches on the Towpath
A Magical Bed & Breakfast in the heart of New Hope!
ABOUT
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 thirteen charming and comfortable guest rooms, all with central air and private bathrooms.
While staying with us you can enjoy a delicious breakfast on our gorgeous wrap around porch. We use local and seasonal items to create an unforgettable morning.
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. Kids over the age of 12 are welcome.
This is a smoke free Bed & Breakfast. Smoking in the rooms is prohibited. You will be subjugated to a $250 cleaning fee if we find any evidence of smoking anything in the rooms.
