Circa 1745. The Black Bass Hotel is located on the River Road north of New Hope. In its early days, the innkeepers were of Tory persuasion and attracted a Loyalist clientele. Today, the hotel is noted for its excellent cuisine. Electrified oil and tin lamps and railroader's lanterns are displayed, along with a collection of British Royal Family memorabilia.

Wonderful stay

My husband and I had a lovely stay at the Black Bass. The room was beautiful, had a picturesque view of the Delaware, and the dinner was top rate. We had our wedding reception here a number of years ago (prior to the Thompson Group acquiring it) and the changes and upgrades to the hotel subsequently have been so noticeably better. It appears that everything has been renovated but the renovations have not impeded the elegant and rustic charm of the hotel. It is the perfect romantic destination. We stayed this past weekend and when we came home, we booked another reservation. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

February getaway

Black Bass Hotel

My husband and I spent two nights in late February 2012. It was extremely relaxing and the food was wonderful. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed our balcony since the weather was unusually warm for February. Upon our departure we discovered the museums in Doylestown. Highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing rejuvenating retreat.
