I have stayed in many, many B&Bs and inns over the course of the years. I have even run one for several years. What I don't understand is how this inn managed to get so many accolades. Yes, it is a beautiful historic home, although my first impression on entering was "needs a bit of freshening". That impression was intensified... More

I recently was a guest at the Cornerstone BnB for two nights in late April while on business. As a frequent traveler, I have passed many nights in various hotels and BnBs, but the service at the Cornerstone was always professional, warm, and positively delightful.

These people know how to run a B&B. They are welcoming, hospitable, knowledgeable about the area & truly accommodating, Great breakfasts--both the ample weekday "continental" & the weekend full breakfasts. My wife & I walked to the zoo (the proprietors even gave us tickets) & to the Museum of Art. Beautiful decor, including many stained glass windows. Highly recommended!

The Cornerstone is charming, cozy, and ideally-situated for visits to Philadelphia's many colleges and universities. Beautiful decor, delicious breakfasts (including homemade muffins and scones!), and all the comforts of home. Its proprietors are wonderfully welcoming and hospitable. Thank you for a fantastic week. We can't wait to visit again! Julie Waddell & family (Emily, 17 & James, 13)

The welcome is warm, the furnishings attractive, the rooms and dining room are clean and nicely furnished. The weekend breakfast includes... More

We visited Cornerstone B & B in Philadelphia and can't wait to go again! What a beautiful house and the family (Dennis, Liz, Jules & Chris) were just great people! Great location to all and an absolutely delicious breakfast on Sunday morning-we're really hoping to visit again during the summer with our children-Thank You So Much for the hospitality and... More

Top notch stay in University City. Our hosts looked after and anticpated all of our needs and hade great recommendations for us.

Completely agree with the praise of other reviewers. Our very best B&B experience, ever! Enjoyed a very pleasant early evening neighborhood walk. Morning walk to the Amtrak Station took 20 minutes. We will stay at The Cornerstone again when returning to Philadelphia!
