Visit our bed and breakfast and Lancaster County. The Lancaster is an historic inn centrally located in Lancaster, PA, between it's energized downtown and the heart of Pennsylvania Amish Country. The house first served as the home to members of the Armstrong family of cork and tile fame. Armstrong World Headquarters still makes its home in Lancaster, PA. Built in 1912 in the Dutch Colonial style popular at the time, the house made a handsome residence for the families who occupied the home until 1986 when it first became a bed and breakfast.

From the moment we met Dave at the "backdoor" we knew our kids had made the right choice. Our Bed & Breakfast stay was a gift for our 37th anniversary. We stayed in the master suite and the room was more than we ever expected. We felt at home here. Gerry & Dave are very friendly. Gerry made great breakfasts. Dave was a wealth of information on the Lancaster area. All the guests during our visit had something to add around the breakfast table. This was our first bed & breakfast experience and was a great one. We would not hesitate to stay here on another visit to Pennsylvania "Dutch Country." My daughter also arranged for a plate of chocolate covered strawberries in our room. We were very pleased to find out they were not store bought but hand crafted by Gerry.

January 09, 2012
My husband and I spent our anniversary weekend at O'Flaherty's Dingeldein House and it was a wonderful experience!! The room was beautiful and clean, and the food was beyond excellent! The house is extremely warm and cozy and Dave and Gerry equally gracious and helpful. Dave's knowledge on the area and its attractions made everything so much easier, as we were unfamiliar with the area. We would definitely love to return!

December 21, 2011
My fiancee and i stayed a weekend for and loved every min of it. Gerry and Dave were such gracious hosts. The meals were made to perfection and Dave's knowledge of the surrounding area was exactly what we needed for a fun filled weekend. Dave arranged a meal for us with an Amish family. Such a awesome experience. We've enjoyed our stay so much, that I am now looking into booking yet another getaway weekend. Gerry and Dave, Thanks for you hospitality.
5 out of 5Outstanding!!!!!
December 06, 2011
I cannot express how wonderful my stay was at this B&B. The home is absolutely beautiful and you feel right at home as soon as you walk through the front door. When you arrive, you are greeted by Dave who then gives you a tour of the home. The innkeepers provided a wonderful breakfast and were very hospitable. They also had a lot of knowledge about the Lancaster area. But most importantly, this inn was immaculate. Everything had a shine to it. The beds in our rooms were also outstanding where you felt you were sleeping in your own bed at home. If you are thinking about going to the Lancaster area, be sure to book at this inn. You will not be sorry. Enjoy!!!!

November 25, 2011
We stayed at O'Flaherty"s Nov.10th-the 12th. 2011 This was such a nice place, we stayed in the Rose Room. It was quiet, private,and comfortable. The Host's Dave and Gerry were so gracious and very informative about the area and events happening in the area. The breakfast's were amazing, and we met such nice people at the table, conversations were interesting and fun. We would stay here again without any hesitation. The location was also very convenient easy to get to and everything was within 10-15 minutes.

Our Daily Special Breakfast
Every breakfast is a distinctive amenity of our Lancaster accommodations at the Lancaster. Each breakfast is freshly served at individual intimate tables in our dining room. We can also arrange seating for groups. Breakfast is continuously available from 8:30-10 AM, so it's okay to sleep in a little; we'll make more! Coffee and tea are available throughout the day. We can also easily accommodate business travelers for timely appointments and guests who need to make an early departure. That most important meal of the day begins with a generous selection of coffee, tea, and juices. Organic yogurt, local honey, hearty granola and fresh seasonal cut fruit are available daily. Homebaked muffins or breads are often on the menu as well. The wide variety of Lancaster County Farmers’ Markets, Amish Farmers' produce stands and orchards provide many of the favorite ingredients for our daily entrees. Most breakfasts include a meat side dish, such our own homemade turkey or chicken sausage, but we are always sensitive to the needs of our vegetarian guests, and are happy to offer a meat substitute. Main courses may be Brad's tremendous stuffed Challah French toast, Chicken and Waffles like you've never had (!) or a beautiful artisan quiche. When Brad is cooking you are welcome to share first hand in the process, but remember: he might put you to work! Please let us know ahead of time if you may require attention to food allergies or dietary concerns. We are happy to oblige.Special meal options
