Wonderful B&B near New Bedford. The innkeeper was delightful and provided a brochure of things to do, places to eat, and local history, including of the property. Breakfast was fresh and varied. For being an older home, the rooms were very quiet.

Absolute wonderful property, close to downtown Fairhaven. Definitely look into the history of this home. Staff was very inviting and friendly, and the morning breakfast was outstanding. Large common areas to hang out. Despite having multiple rooms, I barely saw anyone else! I will be returning the next time I visit. I highly recommend.

The Delano Homestead is an intimate B&B that offers visitors all the comforts of home. My husband and I felt as though we were staying with friends rather than at a B&B. This is in part because of the wonderful innkeeper, Tracey, who always made us feel at home, but we also had a chance to meet the owner, Paul, who was just as welcoming. Our room was charming and comfortable, and very tastefully furnished with period antiques. We enjoyed learning the history of the home when it was owned by the Delano family. We also loved staying in a quiet, residential neighborhood away from the bustle of New Bedford, which was our reason for visiting the area. Should we make a return visit, we will certainly book the Delano Homestead again. It made our stay memorable.

A charming historic B and B in peaceful Fairhaven,
This is a charming B and B with a historic twist having been the residence of FDR's maternal grandparents and which he visited as a boy. We loved our cute little attic room. Comfy beds and immaculately maintained. Upstairs rooms are a steep climb for those with gimpy knees but the ambience made up for that.

Cute little B&B smack dab in the historic part of fairhaven and walkable to local restaurants. I did get the 3rd floor room, which on one hand was a 3rd floor, on the other hand, absolutely wonderful and I'd deal with the stairs again to get it. There was a neat view of the area, the bathroom was large with a claw foot tub, and it was it's only little spot away from everything else. The person that checked me in was also friendly and helpful and breakfast was great.

We had a wonderful stay at the Delano Homestead. Tracey and Paul made us feel very welcome and comfortable in the home, they are lovely people who clearly enjoy people and keeping an Inn. The folks we met at breakfast were friendly and the location is great for walking and visiting SouthCoast towns.

Our stay at the Delano Homestead B&B was nothing short of wonderful. Tracey was more than accommodating, super pleasant and quite knowledgeable of the property and area.
The building and historical nod was stunning and welcoming. Our room was so comfortable, well decorated and clean, it truly felt like home. An easy get away, with wonderful, caring staff and a robust breakfast to boot! Definitely on our list to return soon.
I would give 6 stars if possible!

Beautiful house, full of history. Great feeling knowing that one of our greatest Presidents once roamed the same hallways. The house is extremely well maintained. Bedroom very comfortable. Paul and Tracey go out of their way to truly make you feel at home. They are both welcoming and flexible. Breakfast to suit all tastes; fresh and delicious. Other guests were charming and a pleasure with whom to have shared the table. Enjoyed walking around town, and sitting in the garden under the trees enjoying the shade and the cool breeze. Lovely weekend. Thank you.
