Beautiful house, full of history. Great feeling knowing that one of our greatest Presidents once roamed the same hallways. The house is extremely well maintained. Bedroom very comfortable. Paul and Tracey go out of their way to truly make you feel at home. They are both welcoming and flexible. Breakfast to suit all tastes; fresh and delicious. Other guests were charming and a pleasure with whom to have shared the table. Enjoyed walking around town, and sitting in the garden under the trees enjoying the shade and the cool breeze. Lovely weekend. Thank you.

WOW! What a great place. Paul and Tracey were not only hospitable, but great historical information of the house and surrounding areas. Tracey made a great breakfast both days and made us feel very comfortable. Very friendly and accommodating. She's the best! My wife and I will most definitely be coming back!

In a word: wonderful

One of the loveliest and most charming places we’ve ever stayed; I wish we’d been staying more than just one night, and intend to in the future. The historic house itself is beautifully detailed with furnishings appropriate to its era—the attention to detail is remarkable, yet fully outfitted with comforts and utilities of 21st-century life (USB charging ports, Roku streaming). The absolute best of both worlds. The breakfast was hearty and delicious, the company of other guests was delightful, and Paul and Tracey were at all times gracious, accommodating, friendly, and informative hosts. Simply can’t say enough good things!

Our stay at the Delano Homestead B&B was nothing short of wonderful. Tracey was more than accommodating, super pleasant and quite knowledgeable of the property and area. The building and historical nod was stunning and welcoming. Our room was so comfortable, well decorated and clean, it truly felt like home. An easy get away, with wonderful, caring staff and a robust breakfast to boot! Definitely on our list to return soon. I would give 6 stars if possible!

We had a wonderful stay at the Delano Homestead. Tracey and Paul made us feel very welcome and comfortable in the home, they are lovely people who clearly enjoy people and keeping an Inn. The folks we met at breakfast were friendly and the location is great for walking and visiting SouthCoast towns.

Tracy was amazing. We pulled up and there she was working in the front flowerbed. After the tour of the beautiful house we went to our rooms immediately and unpack and unwind. This place and it’s history was very interesting. We had a great nights sleep in a very comfortable bed. Although there were 6 guest all together upstairs it was incredibly quite.
