The property is beautiful and the people that run it are extremely nice. They treated us so well and made accommodations for my vegan friend. We appreciated having a comfy quiet place to rest after all our sight seeing, plus the delicious breakfast!

A few days in Philly
The staff and owners were wonderful. Our room was quiet, clean, and cool. There's a nice garden where we ate dinner one night. This is a historic b & b, so it doesn't have all of the amenities of a larger chain. We found it to be a charming, fun stay. There's a trolley stop right on the corner, so getting to the historic district of Philadelphia is super easy.

Nice Place that Could Use Some TLC
B&B hosts were very nice. Full breakfast was delicious. Plenty of complimentary water, coffee, tea and wine. I enjoy staying at B&Bs such as this one to step off the beaten path of chain hotels and enjoy the history such B&Bs provide. With that said, this place could use some help. Old and historic doesn’t have to also mean old, musty smelling and run down. It’s a beautiful home that could use some TLC and repair to bring back its glory.

This place is operated by a nice family who works hard to maintain the property status. Good breakfast and pantry for 24 hour. Not so many dining options around. If some carpets could be replaced, that would be better.

The Gables is beautiful and done so well. We were welcomed warmly, shown to our room which was very comfortable, and enjoyed sitting in one of the parlors. It is such a beautiful B&B. The breakfast was delicious. It was nice to have a pantry with ice water and wine available. All the details are covered by the team at The Gables. I highly recommend.

Loved this place. First time at a B&B and loved the experience. We came for a mini babymoon. So much more personal than a hotel. The breakfast was delicious and they accommodated my lactose intolerance for every breakfast. It’s near a cute park that we enjoyed for morning walks. If given the chance we will definitely come back. Thank you for such an enjoyable babymoon!

Overall the Gables was as advertised. The room was cozy, the bed was very comfortable but the shower was small and the shower head smaller. The pancakes were great and they accommodated our vegetarian diet. The hosts were warm, welcoming and very helpful.
