The Pineapple Hill B&B

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

The last time I was in NY for a GT function, my accommodations were well documented (if not well kept). This time, for GT’s Annual Wines on the Wing Airline Wine Competition, my lodging was top notch.

I needed to start and end my trip at GT’s world headquarters in Yardley, PA. Therefore, I needed to stay fairly close. The Pineapple Hill Bed and Breakfast Inn is located in New Hope, PA, about 15 minutes away from GT’s offices. I don’t usually stay at B&Bs on business, but GT is not your usual company. The Pineapple Inn is not quite your usual B&B either.

The Inn has five rooms, three suites and one apartment suite. Innkeepers make sure that everything is right. All of the rooms are meticulous, attractive and comfortable, decorated with locally obtained antiques and artwork. Each room has a small fireplace and cable television (a must for me). The parlor is open to all and features a fireplace, books, television and games.

For a previous stay, I know the Pineapple Hill B&B Inn serves a wonderful breakfast. Unfortunately for me, due to logistics, I had to be on the road by 3 a.m., but Cookie made sure I had a hearty bagged breakfast. I was extremely grateful for this extra special effort.

New Hope is a beautiful town. Whether you like antique shopping, outdoors activities, or quaint (and tasty) dining, you will be happy with your visit. When you are done for the day, stay over at the Pineapple Hill B&B for the perfect ending of that day and beginning of the next.
