Categories

Cleanliness
8
Mixed signals: several guests explicitly praise the property as "very clean" and note tidy rooms, but multiple reviews report stains on carpet/tub and a dirty bathroom in some rooms, lowering the score slightly.
Service
10
Consistently positive comments about friendly staff, smooth check-in/out, and helpfulness; the attached restaurant staff and convenient service are repeatedly praised.
Location
9.9
Strongly positive for visiting Peddler's Village (easy walking access, great for village attractions and nearby restaurants), though some guests note the property is spread out and not walking distance to New Hope proper.
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed room quality: several rooms described as spacious, comfortable, and updated, while others are dated with stained carpeting and even a mattress with a sink-hole — notable variability lowers this score.
Amenities
9
Good on-site amenities like the attached Buttonwood Grill/restaurant and cozy features (fireplace), plus free parking reported by some; downsides include no room service and a spread-out layout that can complicate access.
Value for Money
7.2
Perceived as poor value by several guests (e.g., paying high rates during events, comment that price felt inflated), though others accepted the convenience and setting — overall leans negative.
Food and Beverage
9.5
Generally praised: the attached restaurant is described as very good and convenient. Lack of room service noted but does not outweigh positive restaurant feedback.
Overall Experience
10
Overall stays are described as clean, peaceful, and convenient for village visits; recurring positives (location, friendly staff, comfortable rooms) outweigh the issues for many guests, though parking, noise, and occasional cleanliness/room defects are caveats.

A Clean and Convenient place to stay while visiting Peddler's Village and Buck's County attractions.
Pros:

the location of the Golden Plough is perfect to walk around Peddler's Village and enjoy the Christmas lights and shop in all the stores. We also walked to dinner at Nearby Cock & Bull restaurant from the Inn. The Buttonwood Grill is attached to the Hotel, so we did not even need to put on coats to get breakfast the next morning. The room was very spacious and comfortable with a nice sitting area in addition to the very comfortable beds.

Cons:

Parking for the hotel is minimal, we were lucky to get a spot behind the hotel . If we hadn't we would have had to go across the street on a slippery walk. Also, there are stairs to get into the hotel , and I did not see a way to avoid using them. Perhaps there is handicap access at the rear of the hotel, but I did not see any directions or signs indicating that.

Fine.
Pros:

We enjoyed walking the grounds and the shops. We weren’t aware there was an Apple festival which is likely why we paid over 400 for a room probably worth 100 of that per night.

Cons:

Room was dated and incredibly old. Stains on carpeting beds were so over used. Stains in the tub. Overall pretty gross

A nice place to stay at as you visit New Hope PA
Pros:

The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained.
Free parking as well.

Cons:

The property feels more like a village than a traditional hotel, as it is quite spread out. It was difficult to locate the entrance to the main building for check-in, and once we did, we had to drive to our room. After settling in, we also needed to drive or walk to a nearby restaurant for food.
The rooms are set up like small apartments along a street, which means you may hear some road noise. Aside from that, the room itself was clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained.
The website claims it's walking distance from all city attraction - but that isn't acurate. They It's 4.5 miles to main street of New Hope.

If you are looking for convenience to Peddlers Village check this place out
Pros:

The convenience to other spots of interest

Cons:

There were stains on the carpet in our room. We were disturbed by the noise of music playing late at night. We were able to hear the people next door talking as though they were in the same room as us.

Pros:

My room was quite nice. It was large and had an updated bathroom.

Cons:

The mattress had a literal sink hole in the middle! It felt like I was stuck in a trough. Definitely need to replace that mattress. Carpeting in hall and room could use replacing.
