    March 12, 2013

    It's the little things that make you feel at home at King's Cottage. From the complimentary snacks, amish made pies, and bottled water to the little chocolates on the night stand. I really feel like the innkeepers go out of their way to make your stay wonderful. During breakfast, my husband said it was the best he had ever had at a BandB before, it helped that it was delivered via picnic basket for us to eat in our room by the fire.

    Getaway in Amish country!

    October 27, 2012

    My wife and I recently stayed at King's Cottage in Lancaster. The innkeepers, Ann and Janis are exceedingly helpful and make you feel like you have arrived to visit old friends! They stock a wealth of informative advice on dining and attractions and are always ready to offer directions to help navigate Lancaster county. Our room was beautiful, breakfast was spectacular and the inn and surrounding property is a must see! We would highly recommend this beautiful B&B to anyone visiting Lancaster.

    Delightful

    September 14, 2012

    Our accommodations (the Contessa) were very comfortable, pleasant and private. The innkeepers are very knowledgeable and helpful. With their recommendations in hand, we found a wonderful restaurant in town for dinner. The breakfast was, true to the theme, fit for a king. Beautifully prepared and served. We would definitely stay there again!

    AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

    September 21, 2011

    we just recently stayed in the King room at the King's Cottage. Our room was amazingly furnished and very unique. The bathroom was extremely well kept and clean. Our inn keepers Ann and Janis were extremely helpful in planning our day and providing us with maps of the area and various dining suggestions. The breakfasts at the Inn were outstanding!! we were there in mid september and due to colder temperatures in the evening we had our Fireplace pilot lit in our bedroom which was a nice surprise. we highly reccommend this bed and breakfast. We did not find anything dissatisfying--felt very much at home!

    King's Cottage Rules!!!

    August 22, 2011

    This B&B is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The rooms are large and the hostesses are outstanding. They post all of the possible activities you would want to know about on a white board every morning and they have directions to everywhere (written down so you can take them with you!) The ladies are very professional and extremely helpful without being intrusive. The rooms are elegant and the home is extremely welcoming. Awesome!
