This bed-and-breakfast, which sits on the edge of 5½ acres in northern Bucks
County, was once a stagecoach stop. Innkeepers Barbara and Joe Szallosi restored the 1795 Colonial fieldstone-and-stucco house while she wasn’t teaching and he wasn’t doing carpentry.
The living room is decorated in English and American antiques, and in the den (once the tavern), you will find a coal stove to curl up in front of. The dining room, once the old wheelwright shop, has a walk-in fireplace, a Mercer tile floor, and a long country table. Dried herbs and antique baskets hangfrom the beams of the low ceiling. In the bedrooms, an-tiques blend nicely with reproductions hand-crafted by Joe—cupboards and pencil-post beds. In 1992 Joe bought 12,000 bricks and built a courtyard terrace and herb garden. And a new, spa-cious unit equipped for visitors with disabilities was christened the same year.
