HERE'S WHAT ELSE IS BEING SAID ABOUT BRIDGETON HOUSE:
"Our favorite Bucks County Inn!" (Philadelphia Magazine).
"The Bridgeton House - my kind of country inn; plank floors and white walls, windows on the river and warm apple cake in the kitchen. Here I could relax." (Washington Post).
"A most romantic vacation setting...Bridgeton House on the banks of the Delaware -- a small, shuttered brick Inn that combines French country charm with American simplicity." (Womans Day).
"Bridgeton House, reflecting traditions of river and canal life, one of Bucks County's superb historical Inns." (New York Times).
"Before long I was snaking down the Delaware River to Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania, the home of Bridgeton House On-the-Delaware, an inn about which I can't begin to say enough good things. It's on the river, the rooms are handsomely appointed, and most even have their own private riverfront balconies. After driving across the bridge to the Milford Oyster House, there to sup on Crab Norfolk and a garlic-laden salad, I retreated to my balcony to watch the river flow and the fireflies blink. It was a hot and humid night, but before 15 minutes had passed the temperature had plunged at least as many degrees, and the fireflies flew off to make way for a thunderstorm. The lightning exploded over Upper Black Eddy as I looked on, delighting in the gaudy detonations far overhead. A half-hour later the storm was gone, and I climbed gratefully into my soft bed to read February House: The Story of W.H. Auden, Carson McCullers, Jane and Paul Bowles, Benjamin Britten, and Gypsy Rose Lee, Under One Roof In Wartime America and drift at length into yet another deep, untroubled sleep.
Another tasty breakfast, another unhurried drive across the river and along country roads, and in a couple of hours I had made my roundabout way to the rusty outskirts of Newark. Is there any other place in the world where beauty and ugliness alternate with such dizzying rapidity as in New Jersey?"
