Ghost Light Inn

The concierge was really helpful, and the hotel is right in the center of town near restaurants, shops, and the market. It’s a beautiful little place on the water. Being small suited our family of four, including babies, perfectly while we visited peddlers village and rode the New Hope Santa train. We booked last minute on a Tuesday in December because another local hotel was gross. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful snowy visit, with a river view from our room and lots of thoughtful details around the guest house. The bed was cozy, the bathroom was nice, and there were comfortable chairs. Breakfast was good, and it was easy to walk around. On our first night we went to Ferry Market and loved it. Hotel guests get 10% off there, which is a nice perk. The next day we ate onsite with friends and loved the menu. The Brussels sprouts were the best!

We had a fantastic August visit, though evenings outside can be buggy since it’s in the woods by the river, so bring or use bug spray. My husband and I brought our very shy but well-trained terrier, and all three of us had a great time. The staff were amazing. We ate outside at Stella, where they took good care of us and served the best food we had in town. The pup portion was huge, lol. In the morning, you can head down to watch sunrise, have breakfast in a chair, and feed the ducks on the Delaware. The nights were around 60° and days around 85°.

We stayed in carriage house room 13, which was very nice for two people and has just one bedroom. The location is great, but a few things didn’t work: the coffee machine wouldn’t brew a pot, the light on the large makeup mirror was out, and the garbage disposal was broken. They provide a continental breakfast, though on weekdays it doesn’t start until 7:30, which I think is too late.
