May 05, 2013
We had to reschedule our trip to Gettysburg from last Fall. The innkeeper was most accommodating, and we arrived on our new day we were welcomed with open arms. The innkeeper even asked how my wife's recovery was progressing. How very thoughtful! She even upgraded us to the Lincoln Suite. The breakfast was beyond compare. This is the place to say in Gettysburg without a doubt!

April 09, 2013
I have stayed at the Brafferton many times and the one thing that impresses me is their excellence. Every trip is wonderful from the greeting I receive, to the room I stay in, to the fantastic breakfast in the morning. There are many places in Gettysburg to stay, but I can't find a reason to go elsewhere. It is in a perfect location too. Each time I visit they have made improvements and upgrades and I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you Joan and Brian!

We recently celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary at the Brafferton Inn. The room was spacious and nicely appointed. Breakfast each morning was a delight. We were greeted warmly and taken great care of. We enjoyed the Inn's close proximity to downtown and Gettysburg Battlefield. We will stay again.

Located on the second floor of the Victorian inspired rooms in the Lane Studio building, you’ll take two steps down into a room that we can imagine Photographer Dorothy Lane might have used as a personal retreat during the years in which she and her husband , famed photographer Walter, ran the Lane Studio here. A queen size bed graces this green floral room, nestled beside an armoire, and a comfy overstuffed chair. The microwave and refrigerator may tempt you to truly hide away for a bit. This room also opens onto an outdoor balcony, and the bathroom contains a large Jacuzzi tub for two. Amen

After much research into different B&B's in the area we decided on 2. After talking with each of the places on the phone we decided to stay at the Brafferton. I could not have been any more happier staying any place else. Brian, his family and everybody else made our stay one we will never forget. We stayed from March 10 - 15th. We were greeted the moment we parked the car and was offered help with our luggage. We were upgraded to a bigger room without extra cost. The room itself was outstanding. Fireplace, large sitting area, balcony, and 2 person jacuzzi. The perfect place to stay. Staff we wonderful in helping plan our visitation sites and offering other areas of interest. The food was fabulous. I had to buy the cookbook to get some of the recipes. There were only two downsides I could find and they were pretty minor. There is no wifi in the buildings of the B&B outside the main building and the other is the parking. We were lucky enough to have a private parking place at the B&B but if you don't get those particular rooms there is a parking garage directly behind the B&B. Overall, we had a fantastic stay during spring break and if we are able to return to this area we will definitely be staying at the Brafferton Inn again. Brian, Joan and all - thank you for a wonderful stay.

We have stayed at the Brafferton Inn a few times and loved it but this visit was very special to us. We rented the Old Orchard House and got married in the cozy parlor with our closest family as guests. The house was very comfortable and Brian and Joan did everything they could to make our special day perfect.

Little late posting as we stayed in Mid-January, but no less enthusistic. We have stayed there before and will do so again. It's exactly what a BB should be, quaint, quiet and comfortable. The staff go out of their way to help, the breakfasts are home cooked and mouth watering. The rooms are delightful and comfortable. The sitting rooms are perfect for relaxing. Thanks again to the staff for another wonderful time.
