Dinner at this Colonial Inn was fabulous. There is a choice between seating in the Bar or Dining Room. The Dining Room features 2 fireplaces and has the original period charm. The food is fantastic. We had the Ribeye and Stuffed Pork Chop. Both were superb and the portions were such that we could not finish. This Dining Room is definitly a hidden gem.

This used to be our go to. It hasn’t been the same in years. We went last night and the food was alright. Not worth the price. Service was also lackluster. We needed more drinks and had to go to the bar since the server completely disappeared on us. The bartender told us she will get it for us and I said she disappeared. Bartender then helped us. Server came maybe 15-20 minutes later and we were done our food. Glad we didn’t wait.

The Temperance House: A cozy spot with a rustic, charming vibe. Known for its well-crafted cocktails and a diverse menu featuring comfort foods with a modern twist. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it great for casual gatherings. Service is friendly and efficient. Ideal for those looking for good drinks and tasty bites in a laid-back setting.

Went there on Halloween night due to being in the area for a wedding Saturday. It wasn't crowded but the service was slow. We were told to sit any where and it took about 10-15 mins before we were asked if we wanted something to drink. Once we ordered our food, the server checked in us maybe twice. Service was not great but the food was very good.

The place is cool and full of history, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Not insanely expensive, and we loved the vibe. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

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.
