“Top quality in every way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

We just made our second visit to the Savannah Inn, and can't recommend it highly enough. Gina, the innkeeper, has made a beautiful renovation of this house, sympathetic to the period style, but thoroughly modern throughout. The interior styling is simple and elegant, and it is a really welcoming place to stay. It is also very thoughtfully arranged - rooms are comfortable to spend long hours in if you don't want to be sociable with other guests, or you can hang out in the attractive communal area which is well-furnished. Gina is also a terrific cook - the breakfasts are always excellent and attractively presented - homemade granolas and fruit salads, as well as a different hot dish each day, such as light-as-a-feather pancakes (pumpkin, or ricotta and lemon) or crisp polenta with eggs.
Even if you don't find more than a day's activities to do in Lewes, there are also great beach walks to north and south, as well as the outlet shopping and cheerful boutiques in the Rehoboth area, so the Inn is a perfect base for a great getaway for a few days.

It was a perfect weekend getaway after my husband and my wedding. The room was peaceful and calming and the house was beautiful. We had a wonderful time.

“Modern without losing charms of age”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

High praise for every aspect of the Savannah Inn: our room, public rooms, porch, breakfast, hostesses. This is a great place from which to explore the small downtown of Lewes and the extraordinary Cape Henlopen park nearby. It's upscale, and worth it.

Room Tip: It is on a busy street, so if you're a light sleeper, bring a sound machine.

“One of the best bed and breakfast experiences to date”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I am not a typical fan of the bed and breakfast, the experience can range from very pleasant to absolutely awkward. The experience at the Savannah Inn was exactly what you hope every stay will be like. The renovation was fresh and tastefully done. The bathrooms were large and clean, and the food was fresh and delicious.

My wife and I would stay again in a second. Lewes is the perfect balance of beach and casual. This the perfect landing spot for couples looking for a relaxing retreat.

“Perfect. Couldn't have been better.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

I brought my wife here for our 10th anniversary, and it was amazing. The room, cleanliness, overall atmosphere, and service was outstanding, and Gina is a joy to work with and talk to. She was a huge help in surprising my wife with our stay. She made us feel like special and treasured guests at every turn. Breakfast was wonderful. We stayed in the Wishing Tree Suite, which was beautiful. The bathroom/shower was great and the bed was very comfortable. It didn't take long to begin wishing that we could stay much longer than our reservation! We have stayed at some higher end hotels and resorts, etc, but my wife said this was her favorite of any place we've stayed. We very much hope to return. Thank you!!
