Temperance House is great! This is an OLD establishment so keep that in mind. But if you want quiet, quaint, and cozy this is the spot for you. We easily found parking on the street and Kathy was warm and accommodating from the moment we walked in. We got to a quick history of the establishment as well! Our room was clean and adorable. Once we checked in we almost instantly found our way to cutest tavern right downstairs. The bartender, Jordan, was a doll and took care of us and our group for hours. The food was fantastic- I’ll be thinking about the chicken nachos for a long time! You really can’t beat the atmosphere in the tavern- it’s so welcoming and comfortable. And it’s open LATE. I’ve seen in reviews that the noise from the bar can reach the rooms, but since we stayed at the top floor we didn’t hear a thing. The short walk to our room was the cherry on top. I’m already looking for a reason to find myself in Newton again so we can come back. Thank you for having us!

Had the opportunity to visit this adorable Inn this past weekend. The staff and service were impeccable. Classic, period appropriate charm and decor. We were met with a clean and well stocked room and adjacent coffee bar. The room itself was spacious and all of the furniture was extremely comfortable and well laid out. The Inn itself is conveniently located within close walking distance to adorable shops and cafes. Will absolutely be visiting again!

Took my family here for 2024 Thanksgiving dinner. It was great. We had a full thanksgiving dinner. Everyone liked it. Thanks!

My group sat at the bar for live music on a Friday night. The bar is separate from the dining room, and completely separate from the hotel part. The acoustics were good, bartenders were great and friendly, about 30 beers on tap - some local to Philly area and some speciality. Friends enjoyed their food with it being easy to eat at the bar. The only suggestion for improvement is a bathroom update as they're quite tiny/crammed and the only aspect of the place that felt really old. I would definitely recommend for a night out for chill historic vibes in a quaint little PA town.

With the exception of a rather long check in due to them being short staffed, it was a great stay. Margaret the bartender was awesome and the food and drink was great. And the kitchen was open until midnight. Overall a great experience at an really cool old venue.

The building has historic charm and the location is excellent, but the accommodations are disappointing. The rooms are poorly maintained, and loud music from the bar can be heard until 2 a.m., making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.

Great experience at an event recently. Both the food and the service were top notch. Wonderful staff from the top down.Would recommend this wonderful place.
Recently we had a life celebration party for our father Jack here.Maybe around a couple hundred celebrants. This was our fathers favorite place for good reason. Right from the start our contact with Kathy the owner couldn’t have been better. She was extremely nice and accommodated all our needs. Her staff including her husband Steve and Larry were wonderful help. Food was great. Service was fantastic. She even helped us with decorating the room. It was an absolutely perfect and wonderful experience having our party here. Thank you temperance house for making a wonderfully memorable occasion for our family and friends

Overall a good experience and really enjoyed staying here. Parking is a little confusing. Basically park on the street overnight but will need to move your car during the day. It's kind of noisy late night since the bar is attached to the hotel. However, having a bar for a late night drink was great and could just stumble upstairs. Staff was super nice.

Wow, wow, wow... this place is amazing. The owners are hands-on and want you to truly enjoy your time at their establishment. This place is clean and wide open. The service is top notch and super friendly. This is the kind of place you want to spend your hard earned money supporting. The management is engaged and even circulating through the establishment seeing what is going on.
If you get a chance to talk to the owners or management you will see that they are regular people, just like you. They want you to have a good time and understand you are hoping to get value for your money. The band was awesome, service was top notch and friendly, and they make you feel like you want to be there.
This is where I want to be on a day or night out with my friends!

Food was subpar. Overpriced would not go back.
