The Bookhouse House Hotel was our absolute favorite place we stayed all year. Room was clean and neat. Food and drinks within a block away. Check-in was easy and convenient. Owners and operators are great, helpful and very nice. Will absolutely be staying and going back this spring. What an amazing experience.

We enjoyed the property and location. The inn is a bit quirky and the interior stairs could be challenging for some but it worked for us. The moody paint and bathroom both charming. Wish we had stayed longer so I could have finished the book of essays that I started.

Super magical place. Loved the idea and execution of books everywhere. It was like sleeping in a library. Wish I had an extra day just to be lazy around the room and read. Super well maintained. Super classy.

Would have given it a 5 but the street noise is so loud that not even the ear plugs that were provided by the hotel could drown out the noise. Didn’t sleep all night.

The room was very clean and cute. The bed was very comfortable! ( Probably the nicest of any) The room was located walkable to restuarants, shops,Talulas Table and bars. The only negative is that we did not sleep well because the room is on the corner of a busy street with cars and tractor trailers about 10 feet away. You can definitely hear the noise of the engines inside the room. My suggestion would be to upgrade the window or soundproof somehow because it impacts your stay.

Kennett has gained a wonderful, unique boutique hotel right in the heart of town. I remember when this building was an antique map and book shop. The charming building has been completely renovated into lovely rooms with everything you’d need to be comfortable. We will be back!

My daughter and I love to read and The Bookhouse Hotel is our dream come true! The room is amazing and you can see the effort the owners put in to make it cozy and comfortable. Plus as an added bonus there are lots of restaurants and shops just a block away. We are already planning our return trip.
