Delightful stay for my wife and me. Superb B&B. Highly recommend.
I highly recommend this b & b. Hosts are fantastic and great cooks. The room is immaculate and has own bathroom, tv , wi fi, wood burning stove and ac.. Very much fitting for Lancaster experience
Was there for a business trip, breakfast was amazing, owners great people. The bed was a little hard for my taste, but all Accommodations were great and the prompt was beautiful. I will definitely be back
The garden around the property was well maintained and enhanced the patio and thus increased our enjoyment of the patio area.
The main house is beautiful and kept spotlessly, bringing honor to the memory of the original owners of years gone by.
Thank you!
Our host, Diane and Scott were delightful. Spent time visiting with us and giving many options of things to do in the area. They were always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.
A totally excellent experience. Hosts were gracious and welcoming. Room was well kept and well appointed. Strong shower and HEATED FLOOR IN THE BATHROOM! Breakfasts were a delight with a nice, diverse, flavorful offering. If we are ever in the area again, this is where we will stay.
We enjoyed our 2 day stay. This B&B was even better than described on the web site. Diane and Scott were wonderful hosts and we look forward to returning the next time we are in Lancaster.
P.S. The gourmet breakfast each morning was amazing, and they were considerate of my special dietary requests.
Elegant and comfortable, the Bowman House is surprisingly quiet despite its fronting on Lititz Pike (501). In the rear garden a waterfall offered a tranquil retreat. Scott and Diane served delicious breakfasts, and a guest kitchen is stocked with snacks and a Flavia coffee/cappucino/matcha tea machine. My favorite shoe store, R B Shap, is two miles away and downtown Lititz less than 4. I’ve stayed in four other inns/hotels in the area and this is by far the best. Diane and Scott made me feel very welcome; I’ll gladly return.
Outstanding breakfasts and very friendly couple. Beautiful garden. I stay essentially for a place to sleep while part of my family was up from North Carolina with their kids. So didn't try or plan to get around very much, but I'm familiar with the area.
This a beautiful and welcoming bed and breakfast. There are so many little touches that elevate your stay such as the beverage area, snacks and candies, robes for your convenience and comfortable seating areas. The breakfast was delicious and the host was kind and thoughtful. Our room was clean and well set up and the bathroom was updated and came with nice thick towels. The grounds were gorgeous. I definitely plan to come back!
A delight stay! Boasting of 19th century Ambiance & modern Conveniences, you will certainly agree. A pristine property to be sure! Diane and Scott are perfect hosts. Top it all off with a three course breakfast before enjoying a stroll along Main street in Lititz.
