Guest Reviews

The Air and B is clean, comfortable and a great place for us near good food at Po Boys, trival pursuit at Iris Eyes and The Mexican Resteraunt plus the beaches we explored. Both Debbie and Bill made us feel welcomed and were grest company. Plus the place helped us rest well.
- Joshua (10/5): - Bill and Debbie were very nice hosts and took great care asking us what we would like to have for breakfast and making sure we knew we could contact them easily. House is very beautiful and they made us feel very welcome! Would stay here if I came back to the area

- Marie (10/5): Milton's mansion - I loved the history behind the house and the town. The orginal owner was connected to George Washington and his military exvursions. The bed was so comfortable and the hosts delightful.
- Christine (10/5): - The most fantastic hosts!! Very helpful and thoughtful!! Place was restored beautifully!!
- Sofia (10/5): - Great Bed and Breakfast! It was quiet and had a lovely historic home. The breakfast was filling and good. The small coffee center outside of the room for convenience anytime was a nice touch. It was a rainy weekend, so we didn't get to walk around the grounds, but there are over 2 acres and the house is set back from the road so it's nice and quiet. The owners were welcoming. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a weekend away.

- Elena (8/5): 4 day stay - The inn is located in the beautiful historic district of Milton My husband Ray and i booked a stay for 4 days. Prior to our arrival ,Bill the inn keeper called me to ask about our breakfast selections. We arrived the next day to hv Bill greet us at the door. Bill and his lovely wife Debbie were very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay. I highly recommend this place it's just great!

- Ronald (10/5): - 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!
- Kim (10/5): - Beautiful historic property. The hosts, Bill and Debbie could not be more accommodating!.

- John (10/5): - I would have no problem staying there again very polite and professional couple who owns and runs the b and b
- mary (10/5): - 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.
- Elana (10/5): - 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!

- Patricia (10/5): Very pleasant - Our room was quaint and very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the front porch for enjoying a cup of coffee.
- Sumana (6/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Bill and Debbie have a beautiful home and large comfortable bedroom. The extra touches including fruit and water in our room and breakfast each morning were wonderful additions and so appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

- Verified traveler (8/5): - Wonderful hosts, fabulous breakfast and elegant dining room!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property was very old, but quite charming. The couple who owned & ran it were wonderful. They were very friendly, accommodating and welcoming. Breakfast was always ready when they said it would be and the food was delicious. They served the best vegetable frittata I’ve ever had, and the biscuits and homemade peach preserves were like my grandmother’s. We would definitely go back.
- Kirsten (10/5): Wonderful experience - Absolutely loved this place !!! My sister and I had never stayed at a B & B before and this was amazing ! Loved the attention to detail of this historic home and how cozy it was. Our room was beautiful and the bed very comfy. The hosts Debbie and Bill were very gracious and helpful with making recommendations for getting to the beach and good restaurants to eat at. The breakfast they served was delicious!! They also played very soothing music while we ate !! Will definitely come back !!

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very pleasant place to relax. Attentive and caring owners.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely home and cozy room. Very quiet and peaceful with good walkability to historic Milton, and very drivable to Lewes and even Rehoboth. Hosts were very attentive but respected our privacy and autonomy.

- June (10/5): - It's a lovely peaceful quaint historic old house. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and served a nice breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and were able to explore the area.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The historic (late 1700s) home with a wraparound porch was the best part. Cute neighborhood in a cute town near beach towns Lewes and Rehoboth. The bed was comfortable, we appreciated the tea and coffee on hand, and the full service breakfast was lovely. However, water for bathing never got very hot and the wifi was on the fritz the weekend we were there. The owners (an older couple) were very nice, though we got a slightly patriarchal vibe from the husband. Even with the quirks, we would stay here again.
- Michael (8/5): - The staff was very nice and the hotel was quaint and pleasant. Fridge was very small and No shower in room. Otherwise, wonderful stay.
- Ludmila (10/5): - Very friendly and nice owners
