my husband and I were travelling to Philly and decided to stay here, based on the good reviews. i must say - believe the hype about this place, people!!! when we pulled up, the house is absolutely stunning. it looked like something out of a Better Home & Gardens magazine. then when we walked in, Judy greeted us right away...

we stay in b & b's several times a year. we were very pleased with alpenhof. the decor is eclectic. the stenciling in the heidi room where we stayed was beautiful. the water pressure in the shower was tremendous. at breakfast we were served a bowl of fresh cut up fruit and homemade cinnamon buns and then asked to place...

This is not just a B&B: it is far more! Roland and Judy made their own best to make me feel at home. Let's talk about breakfast (and what a breakfast... for me it was a discover of the american genuine taste) which was a la carte and cooked just in time. French toasts, blueberry pancake, waffles, eggs any style,... More

My wife and I stayed for three nights in May 2012. Excellent accomodations, fantastic breakfasts, incredibly friendly hosts and staff. We were a long ways from home but would definitley stay here again, because Judy and Roland made us feel at home.

Enough cannot be said of the grace and warmth with which Roland and Judy treat their guests. Judy's baking and Roland's skills with the breakfast menu would be sufficient for an excellent rating but you add the lively breakfast conversations and it puts this B&B&G over the top.

While visiting grandson at Swarthmore we stayed at the Alpenhof which is 10 minutes from the college and in an idyllic setting just outside Media, Pa. Owners very attentive and full breakfast included. Room ( Master Suite) spacious and quiet for a B&B. Very popular so make reservations early.

We stayed 2 nights while looking colleges in the area. Location was great for Bryn Mawr/Haverford/Swarthmore cluster. Drive to UPenn took a little longer (45 minutes) but was quite straightforward. Judy and Roland were very friendly and helpful and the rooms were great. We made the reservations on short notice so there wasn't a room available for both days. Changing... More

First and foremost, Judy and Roland are down-to-earth, warm, friendly hosts who do their best to make sure you enjoy your stay. They have social backup in Clyde, the enthusiastic quadriped greeter (Black Lab); Clyde’s less outgoing canine companion Abbie takes longer to warm up. 

 Second, Judy and Roland collaborate to prepare ample breakfasts of pretty much whatever standard... More

My husband and I took a much needed weekend away and we wanted to enjoy the Philly nightlife. But staying in the city itself was not our idea of laid back romance. Media, PA is in the burbs, so it is close enough the the city but not in the hustle and bustle and without the bright lights and noise.... More
