I spent a night in the Garden Room and slept very little. The traffic noise from King St was very intrusive, the air conditioner was loud and inefficient, both the bed and pillow were hard. The house was very nice, clean, well decorated, comfortable. Dave and Gerry were wonderful hosts. Breakfast was outstanding. I loved the porch, it was so homey. I would go back with a white noise machine and my own pillow. I was hoping to pay cash but my card was charged for the room, I would prefer the option to pay cash.

Our stay at O'Flaherty's was wonderful. Dave and Gerry, the proprietors, were gracious and very accomodating. The charm of the house makes you feel at home with it's fireplaces, magazines, beverages, and complimentary snacks at all times. We particularly enjoyed relaxing on the swing on the porch. Gerry is a great cook and our breakfast was delicious. This was our second stay at O'Flaherty's and we will definitely return in the future when we are in the area.

We would have loved to have stayed more than a day but they are so popular we had only one night. A peaceful room, helpful hosts who know the area well gave us many hints of things to see, breakfast was delicous with plenty of 2nd helpings! Though the B&B was on a road there was no road noise, nice and quiet!

Our hosts were always eager to make us feel at home and enjoy their area.The house was a pleasure to stay in and the breakfasts were simply 'superb'. We particularly enjoyed the company and conversation around the breakfast table.

Staying at O'Flaherty's Dingeldein House is like entering the world of Hanzl and Grettl; there are chocolate and sweets everywhere in and around the house. As a cook Gerry provided us every morning with a two or three course breakfast. Dave served as an exellent host and entertained the guests. During the rest of the day homemade cookies, chocolate and sweets were available anytime, verywhere. Our Princessroom was exactly as we expected: a beautiful oldfashioned maidenroom. A bit cramped, but lovely, cosy and affordable. The location of the Dingeldein House is very handy; right at the eastern edge of the city (Lancaster) and the main road to Bird-in-Hand and Intercourse. Which makes the guesthouse exellent for guests who want to visit both Lancaster and Amishcountry, either by car, bus or bike. The most amazing thing about the Dingeldein House however, is the exellent service of the host which goes way beyond anything that might be expected from a Bed and Breakfast. As Europeans visiting Amerika by train, it was a bit of a question how we would move around the four days we were in Lancaster. Dave picked us up at the Amtrak-station, found us the only bike rental shop thats still operative in Lancaster (which was nearly impossible to find through the internet). Drove us to the bikeshop on the other side of town. Picked us up there two days later after delivering the bikes and drove us back to the Amtrak station when we left. Amazing! It certainly helped us Europeans to get the best and the most out of our very nice stay in Lancaster. Thank you Dave and Gerry!

What a lovely B&B - I'm sorry we couldn't have spent a few days. The innkeepers, Dave & Gerry, made us feel at home. Great breakfast (no one went away hungry!). Nice touches throughout (chocolates, port wine, laptop, etc). Dave was a wealth of information regarding scenic routes, where to shop, best ice cream, etc.

The owners provided snacks throughout the evening and the breakfast could be featured in a gourmet magazine!

I stayed at the Inn for business. I had a great room. The soaking tub was large enough for two. They had Port wine in my room which was perfect for a nightcap. The fireplace added extra coziness to the room. Gerry & Dave were great hosts and I loved my breakfast which consisted of a souffle, a tower of pinapple, yogurt and granola and this incredible buttery dessert. I would definitely stay here again!

Nice room, great breakfast. The Inn's on a busy road so traffic noise made it difficult to sleep in the morning. Only major complaint was the owner changing his mind and not accepting a B&B.Com gift certificate after saying that he accepted them. Not a good business practice and as a result we will not return to this Inn.

My wife and I were to attend a wedding in Lancaster one weekend and instead of booking a random room in a random hotel/motel, we decided to check out B&B's. The Dingeldein House just seemed to stand out from all the others, especially because my wife is a curator at a museum and loves old houses. Upon arrival Dave & Gerry greeted us with open arms and to be quite honest it was like we had known them our entire lives. I've never stayed at a place, my own family's homes included, that I felt so welcome. Dave showed us around all the rooms, as we were the first couple to arrive who were staying that weekend. They were all gorgeous. Then to the Master Suite, which we lucked out in booking. Out of this world is my best description. Accommodations were outstanding, service was phenomenal, and because we caught the "Cabin Fever Special" we stayed two nights for the price of one! Our other friends who were staying at a local motel were extremely jealous, as they had a tiny room which cost twice what ours did, and without the wonderful atmosphere. One of our favorite features was the breakfast; everyone who was staying there had a full on, home cooked breakfast, and even though we had never met the other folks staying there, it was like a family breakfast. My wife and I have never felt so refreshed after a weekend getaway. We definitely plan on staying at the Dingeldein House in the future. Dave & Gerry are amazing hosts and we look forward to their company again. Stay for yourself and you'll be hooked too!

Outstanding attention to details throughout the house (that the wonderful innkeepers make you feel is your own). Gourmet breakfasts. You couldn't ask for a better starting point to explore the Amish culture (lots of materials/books in the house, as well as having the option to meet an Amish family and dine in their home). Very peaceful and romantic. Fireplaces, clawfoot tubs, porch with swing and overstuffed chairs, etc. We enjoyed port wine (one of the many 'treats' put out for guests to help themselves to) while playing board games, reading, and chatting with other guests in front of the living room fireplace. Dave (1/2 of the innkeeper-team that makes this B&B so special) bent over backward to help us book a late Thanksgiving Day meal, and to help us navigate the local public transportation system (we'd highly advise renting a car since so many interesting things to see, as we learned from other guests, are down backroads in the area). We travel a lot (on 3 continents) and this is definitely at the top of our list of great B&Bs.

We can't thank Gerry and Dave enough for a wonderful B&B experience. They even had some Asti for us to celebrate our anniversary! From the moment we arrived it was perfect. The Master Suite was comfy and cozy and we felt quite at home exploring the common areas. Breakfast was delicious and nutritious! The location was perfect and convenient to everything! We hope to visit again and again.
