We had a very nice weekend staying at this historic home . We slept like babies in a very comfortable bed and enjoyed breakfast made to order. The owner asked what we would like to eat and served what we requested, even though the other couple staying there this weekend had requested other items. Now THAT is special service!

I loved the B&B. The owners were exceptionally pleasant. What was upsetting was the fact that Expedia confirmed my reservation with me, but not with the B&B. Thankfully, they made room for us. This is the last time I will trust Expedia to confirm with the hotel. From now on, I will confirm myself. It was extremely upsetting all around.

We had a wonderful stay at the Governor's Bed and Breakfast. Our hosts were very welcoming and easy to communicate with (with check-in/check-out instructions, telling us about the area, and more). The house and our room were very charming and clean when we arrived. We had a great weekend here and would recommend for anyone looking to come to the area!

Truly historic B&B
Truly historic B&B so be prepared for a handheld shower. The owners were very accommodating but the breakfast is currently by way of brown bag delivery to your room. Good location for a visit to Dogfish Brewery and Lewes.

Charm and history
This home was originally built in 1790 and has the charm and quirks to go with it. The owner is friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable. If you are looking for all the modern updates, this may not suit you. If you appreciate history, the hard work of the owner's restoration and charm, you will love it. Wonderful porch to enjoy and a walk into historic Milton.
