The Lancaster Bed & Breakfast

Absolutely perfect stay at this bed and breakfast. We could not have asked for more! They inn keepers Brad and Keith are welcoming and they are happy to talk to you if you have any questions or need recommendations. Breakfast was amazing (after breakfast we both said we wished they had an option to eat dinner there as well!) The room (Hawthorn) was warm, cozy, and spacious. it had a large walk-​in closet and nice changing area and the bathroom has both a shower and a tub. Everything was clean and tidy.
I would highly recommend this place and if We are ever visiting Lancaster again we will be staying here again!
Thanks !

This place is one of the best places I have ever stayed at! The rooms were immaculate and very home like. The owners, Keith and Brad, are very hospitable and welcoming. We definitely will come back again soon! I highly recommend

Best experience at a bed and breakfast ever
Hosts were amazing and breakfasts a gourmet delight Home was beautiful
I’m sure my future stays at other B&Bs are now ruined. These guys set the bar way high!

Fabulous setting, the owners make their house your home, loved the cookies in the living room irresistible! They make you feel like a part of the family :)
Unbelievable breakfast with a flair for the gourmet. The rooms are large and spacious with privacy for each. Very cozy and Brad and Keith are friendly and also provide a little history of the house, which is historic in Lancaster, Pa.
We left some items and the owners shipped those to us promptly :) Would visit again and recommend to friends. No worries of security… defintiely a home away from home.
We stayed there on College Graduation weekend and so glad we chose this instead of a hotel, as family members felt much more relaxed!

If you ever wonder what exactly makes an inn the top rated in its area it is the attention to detail and the ability to create a warm and welcoming environment. Brad and Keith nail this! They do a fabulous job of not only offering a majestic retreat with fabulous food, but they do so with a hint of humor and a lot of friendliness.
From the minute you step through the door you feel like an old friend and you feel like they truly want you there! Many inns are nice and some have good food, but a lot of times they don’t give you the warm and fuzzy. They don’t make you feel welcome and they don’t make you feel like you are special; you are simply a $.
We were lucky (LUCKY) to get to stay at the Lancaster over labor day. There happened to be a last minute cancellation and we grabbed it. We lucked out and got the Hawthorn room. Loved it! Loved the bathtub, it is HUGE! The bed was comfy and the room was great, very spacious.
Breakfast was fabulous, I really need to get the recipe for the Amish oatmeal… yummy! We got to feast on the deconstructed strata the first morning and the Amish oatmeal with the root vegetable hash and egg for the second day. You do NOT go hungry. At all.
If you are looking for a fabulous get away this is the place. We certainly hope to go back and fully expect subsequent visits to be as great as our first one!
LOVED IT!!!

I cannot say enough good things about this B&B! Brad and Keith are amazing– hospitable, knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to.
We stayed in the Clove, which was tucked away on the top floor. It was private, quiet, and perfect.
The breakfast was seriously out of this world.
I can’t wait to come back!

We loved this place! Stayed only 1 night but were so impressed with the cleanliness, the great hospitality of the owners, and the scrumptious breakfast! I missed coming for the breakfast because I wasn’t feeling well and it was beautifully packed to be delivered to my room– so thoughtful. Highly recommend!

If you’re coming to Lancaster, or visiting any of the surrounding areas, I cannot reccomend a better place to stay than The Lancaster Bed and Breakfast. My wife and I and our 2 daughters just enjoyed a terrific stay here while visiting Amish country and Hershey Park.
We’ve stayed at many wonderful BnB’s (and some not so wonderful), and I can honestly say that The Lancaster is one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The innkeepers, Brad and Keith, could not be more friendly, helpful and accommodating. They give you an easy feeling, like you’re simply friends staying in their home. We enjoyed two amazing gourmet breakfasts during our stay, prepared with fresh organic products. We’re grateful that they went out of their way to accomodate our preferences.
The Inn itself is beautiful. The décor is charming and cozy. Even though this is a historic home, all of the amenities are up to date, and in great working order. There is a comfortable living room stocked with books and board games which we enjoyed hanging out in at night. There is a beautiful, somewhat secluded porch, with a swing seat for relaxing. There’s also a tranquil garden with comfortable seating and a nice running fountain and pond.
We stayed in adjoining rooms, with a comfortable queen sized bed in our room, and 2 nice double beds in our daughter’s room. The bedding is nice quality, and there are plenty of pillows and blankets. We shared an immaculately clean, large private bathroom.
Brad and Keith have go the extra yard to provide ample resources about the area. They’ve composed a convenient bedside book detailing the best (and worst) places to eat, and the local attractions, etc… Since they’ve made it their business to visit all of these places themselves, they can advise about these places from first hand knowledge.
We will not hesitate to visit again when we’re coming to the area. Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

The Lancaster B&B is wonderful in every way.
Situated in a manicured and quiet residential area, it offers the peacefulness of a more rural location while being extremely convenient to downtown Lancaster — just about a 5 minute drive. The house itself is beautiful, inside and out. Its décor exudes a quiet elegance and sophisticated country charm. The garden out back is lovely, too; I’d love to see it in Spring when the tulips and lilacs are in bloom!
We stayed in the cottage, just across the way from the main house. The Saffron room was perfect… spacious and comfortable. Everything about the room — from its furnishings to the prints on the walls — gave a nod to country living and the region’s Pennsylvania Dutch heritage, but without being too frilly. (I hate how most B&B’s choke you with doilies and dusty potpourri. The Lancaster knows where to draw that line, and thankfully does not cross it.)
It’s the little things that make an impression, and our room had many nice touches that did not go unnoticed: an eclectic selection of books and magazines for the browsing; full sized hair dryer in the bathroom; Lindt truffles left on the bed. The bed sheets were the softest I’d ever felt — positively delicious! And although it wasn’t cold outside, we just had to plug in the electric fireplace to see how it works (very well, actually!).
Just outside our door was a small refrigerator packed with sodas and bottled water; above it was a basket of packaged snack foods, and a Keurig machine with a variety of coffee and tea pods. The only thing missing was fresh milk for my coffee (they do supply creamers).
We were also allowed full access to the main house and all of its amenities. The living room is furnished with comfy-​looking couches and an interesting selection of DVD’s; there’s a platter of home baked goodies, as well. I snuck over before bed to grab a cookie or two… the oatmeal raisin was particularly scrumptious! There’s also a computer available to guests in the den — a nice and thoughtful touch that I’ve not encountered before in a B&B.
Breakfast at the Lancaster was wonderful. They had absolutely no problem catering to our vegetarian diet. While we tucked into a cup of fresh fruit and Greek yogurt, Brad freshly prepared Whole Wheat Carrot Cake Pancakes that were lighter and fluffier than most white flour pancakes I’ve had. They were topped with a drizzle of lightly sweetened Neufchâtel cheese and pure maple syrup, and finished with a sprinkle of crunchy pecans. Served alongside two vegetarian sausage patties, this was one hearty and delicious meal! Coffee was really good, too… though again, I would have preferred milk over half & half.
Given how pleased I was with every aspect of our stay, I probably would have given a 5-​star review even if the owners had been rude, or annoying, or disinterested, or overbearing. Brad and Keith, however, are none of these things! They were warm and gracious hosts — helpful, thoughtful, and outgoing — with an air of professionalism that spoke to their dedication and love for what they do. They know how to maintain that «delicate balance» that’s so hard to find in a B&B.
Our stay at the Lancaster B&B surpassed all expectations. It was perfect, really. We definitely plan to return.

**Highly recommended!!**
Basically, if perfection could be defined by a B&B, this is it. This place truly is a find to enhance anyone’s trip.
— The grounds are beautifully manicured
— The décor inside is tasteful and charming
— The rooms are cozy and comfortable (with AC – a major plus during the summer!). Modern, yet include some vintage trinkets and artwork, including some authentic Amish quilts.
— The food is heavenly and prepared with such care and thoughtfulness. They also have cookies in the main room — soft, moist, delicious and the perfect late-​night treat.
— The inn-​keepers, Brad and Keith, are definitely the highlight of this place. They take great pride in what they do, and are extremely friendly, accommodating, and warm. They are the perfect pair to run a B&B and have a wonderful way of making you feel at home as soon as you arrive.
I will definitely plan a return stay here and am so happy to have had such a terrific experience!
(Note: Was here with a group of girlfriends. We split the Chamomile and Juniper Suite. Very comfortable!)

I have stayed at quite a few B&B’s for personal and business travel, but never have I enjoyed such a delightful stay than at the Lancaster B&B. The hosts, Brad and Keith, were, as one other Unilocaler wrote, meant to be innkeepers. We visited with them several times over our stay and the conversation was intellectual, relaxing and inspiring.
The rooms are clean and unique – perfect really! (Note that hubby and I are fans of older buildings. This one has the needed updates but still retains old school charm.)
The breakfast was my favorite part though. We had quiche one morning (it was divine) and hash the other. Both were elegant and delicious (and accompanied by fresh fruit, a scone, coffee, etc) without a hint of snobbery. As we said throughout our stay, this place is the «fancy without the schmancy.»
Can’t wait to return!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Living in a technological world where referrals and recommendations matter — I’m glad I found something to brag about. This past weekend, Lacanster Bed & Breakfast proved to be a haven in the heart of Lancaster.
My husband and I celebrated our 11^th year anniversary and arrived on a Thursday where we were welcomed by a warm smile and a tour to a cozy and beautifully designed home. The Keurig and macadamian nut cookies caught my husband’s «sweet-​tooth» attention. :)
Reading about our enjoying breakfast at this B&B does it no justice; being served by an experienced chef and cooking instructor I believe says plenty.
We ventured during the weekend through the town; the sense of community and culture were evident as we witnessed the Amish experience with visible buggies, quilt & antique stores, a wide variety of restaurants, and history found within local architecture. Thanks to our innkeeper’s vast knowledge of the town, we were able to make the most of our time in PA, and enjoyed dinner at delicious restaurants such as El Serrano and Miller’s Smörgåsbord.
As full time High School teacher, and mother of two, and my husband a systems admistrator in the heart of downtown Manhattan, we truly look forward to returning to this haven surrounded by rich culture, and filled with the best of everything found in this one place this past weekend.
To all this — thank you. See you again soon.

GO! Two of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had — anywhere, and two of the best hosts I’ve ever encountered. What a treat. Clean, lovely, comfortable, and centrally located. Keith and Brad seem to make every guest feel special. They were meant to be innkeepers!

Really enjoyed our stay here.
The hosts made us feel like we were honored guests in their home.
Cozy rooms and every need met. Very accommodating to dietary needs in general and breakfast was outstanding. Entertaining stories by the hosts while dining on dishes we swore we’d try and make at home. Lancaster is a great town to visit and this place is another wonderful destination to add to your itinerary!

My boyfriend and I spent valentines weekend here and I can’t stress enough how amazing this place was. The location is conveniently located to all nearby attractions! There is ample parking space right outside the house. The rooms are extremely cozy and spacious. The owners are extremely nice, personable and always ready and willing to offer suggestions. The breakfast was outstanding especially the French toast stuffed with chocolate and banana on our last day! Yum! they are extremely accommodating to allergies and food preferences! They have soda, water, coffee, tea, and snacks always available. Look no further this is the place to stay without a doubt! Can’t wait to go back … And I’m never one to stay at the same place twice!

Keith and Brad are hands down the best innkeepers my wife and I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their breakfasts are creative, soul satisfying, works of art! They are both excellent conversationalists! We chatted about food, travel, literature, and life. But if you’re shy fear not! The Lancaster B&B, which they’ve breathed much life into, was also the perfect private setting for our romantic getaway in Lancaster. It’s extremely convenient to downtown while also having all the charms of a setting in a leafy and quiet neighborhood. When spending time in Lancaster County, we whole heartily encourage you to stay here.

This b & b is simply fabulous! Brad and Keith are extremely knowledgable about their town. They will find you an amazing place for lunch AND dinner, but the best meal is the breakfast they cook themselves. It’s such a cool little place. I can’t wait to go back!
