    We looked to stay in Lancaster Pa to visit our son at college and have a little time for ourselves. The Boxwood Inn allowed us to enjoy both aspects of our trip. It was convenient, clean and right in the middle of everything we were looking to do, sightseeing, shopping, and most of all relaxing. We recomend the Boxwood Inn.

    Very nice stay!

    We had the pleasure of staying in the carriage house which allowed us to bring our dog along which was nice. We have stayed at several B&B's. Although this wasn't the best I've been to, we certainly enjoyed our stay. There are some updates that I feel need to be made and there was some minor issues but so small they aren't really worth mentioning. What does need to be mentioned is how wonderful Betsy is! She is a true gem of an inn keeper and we really enjoyed talking with her. We also enjoyed the two breakfasts we had there. Although the Boxwood isn't top of the line, I would stay there again.

    romantic and cozy

    Betsy was the best inn keeper. She was funny had the best suggestions for dinner and oh my goodness her breakfast was the best. The beds were comfortable and the room & bath were clean.
