Candlelight Inn Bed & Breakfast

Chose this B&B! Tim and Heidi go out of their way to make guests feel at home. The candlelight breakfast is a nice touch. Upon arrival, a welcoming tour of the house will be given. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The house is conveniently located near many attractions. We loved the Sight and Sound Theatre. Relax, laugh, enjoy your stay. Shonda Simpson/Martinsburg, WV

We went to a show and dinner at the Rainbow dinner theater and stayed at the Candlelight for one night. It was right down the street from the theater. The rooms are clean and spacious however the only TV is in the common room downstairs. They also have a glass chess set, which my husband and I went down to play and ended up talking several hours with another couple staying at the Inn. Breakfast was delicious.

Carol and I had a wonderful time in Lancaster, PA over the past weekend. We were able to see all the sights we wanted to and then come back in the evening for a restful night and to wake up to a very nice breakfast that gave us the energy to start another day. We also were pleased to meet other nice visitors during breakfast time. We would recommend Candlelight Inn B&B to anyone who needs refreshing at the end of a long day.

Travelling from Fl via Ky makes for a long trip to the Adirondacks of NY. Stopped here 15+ years ago for one night which turned into four. Now just passing thru and checked to see if Cadlelight Inn was still here. To our surprise the inn is here as is Tim and the classical music. The stay was very good. A little road traffic noise out front, but that's Rte. 30 these days.The back yard transports you back to the 18th century; an interesting culture clash. The Amish were friendly, and their farms are admireable. This inn is a" respite from the storm".

Wonderful experience. Beautiful clean and decorated rooms. Incredible view to Amish farmlands and excellent location near shopping mall, theaters and restaurants. Friendly and helpful owners make you feel welcome since the moment you park in. Delicious breakfast and wonderful overall service.

Heidi is the perfect host, warm, friendly, helpful.

We recently enjoyed our stay very much at the Candlelight Inn. They were a wonderful couple and the breakfast was delicious! However, compared to other prices in the area, we found this Inn to be priced a bit high and in need of a little extra TLC. The location was fabulous if you are interested in shopping the Outlets!

Really enjoyed the peace and quiet. And the diner across the street was great! At first I didn't know how I felt about no TV in the room, but it actually turned out great. I felt like I was in an episode of Little House on the Prairie. Loved it. And we plan to go back.

We had a wonderful time! We are planning a return visit to the Candlelight Inn in the future. It was a very different experience then a motel room. Thank you for everything!

It was peaful and met my expectation

The candlelight inn won't blow you away, unless you're after a more authentic victorian decor, but captures the simple, rustic, and classy side to B&B's. Very accessible location, good service, and good breakfast. Nice simple touches like afternoon snack in the sitting room, but building and furniture show their age a little. Very affordable though.

We received a discounted rate because the room we stayed in had a porch which was closed for the winter. The breakfasts were delicious and the hosts were most attentive and friendly.

Our one night stay in Candlelight's "Allegro" room was too quick! Had we known how wonderful our stay would be, we would have booked another night! Arriving late due to snow, we were pleasantly received by wonderful staff. The harmony of service, full notes of decor and crescendo of a wonderful, gourmet souffle breakfast in the morning topped the charts for value. Thank you, Tim.

Pleasant atmosphere, on the edge of the city. Close to everything and a warm welcome.

We had a great stay just like the other 3 times we stayed at the Candle Inn. Looking forward to the next stay which will be next year either in the late spring or early fall. Loved the gourmet breakfasts and driving around the farms in the area.

We've been here several times, and have never been disappointed. Very courtesy hosts! This B&B is close to lots of things in the area, but the quietness of the place makes you feel like you are away from it all :)

Overall nice visit, but lacked that warmness from the owners that make a BB special. PJ

We enjoyed our two night visit. Breakfasts were awesome! We were close to everything we wanted to do and see in Amish country. We plan to stay again if in the area.

We have been to the Candlelight Inn a few times over several years. Actually, this was our first B&B that we ever stayed at. The Candlelight Inn has a lot of good qualities, including Victorian Era furniture. The Inn needs to be renovated as it does need work. For instance, the front storm door is not workng right and the first level floors need to be fixed. It's covered with rugs and very spongy. Although the place needs repairs/updating, it is very clean and we love the location, being close to everything. The room pricing is also very reasonable. I believe it's on the market to be sold, seeing the sign outside and talking with the owner. The grounds also need to be cleaned up.

We are so glad that guests like youselves return to stay with us! The storm door is to be repaired next week, as one of the hinges is not working correctly, but as far as the floors go, when we got new carpet installed, we got the thicker padding, and so you have a softer feeling when you walk, the floors are fine, and have been the same since we've been here. I can't think of any other renovations that are needed at present. The grounds...well, what can I say...it's Autumn. We have 50 trees and leaves start falling in Sept. and continue until Nov...I try to clean up once a week, but the leacews keep coming! The gardens are all done blooming, and are starting to die back a bit..Time to put them to bed for the Winter! And, yes, after 18 years we are ready to retire and find someone to take our place, but will continue to serve our guests in the way we always have! Know anyone interested? Thanks for your input! Tim

One thing we look forward to at a B&B is the interaction with the owners. We had very little with the owners of Candlelight Inn.

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
Thanks for responding! I always try to be available if guests need something and chat with them at breakfast. In going to a lot of B&B's myself, I sometimes fine that some hosts are constantly around you and this could be a bit annoying, so after gretting my guests, I ask if I can do anything else for them, and then let them on their own. In the evening, if I see them in the Parlor, I will ask how their day was. Sometimes, when I have a concert, I will not be quite as available, and on rare occasions, Our inn-sitter will take over for a bit. Perhaps this was the case. Tim

Beautiful home, supurb location (close to both city and country!) excellent host, rooms, food, service, etc. I hope to stay there again next year for the run!

Tim and Heidi have done a great job with the Candlelight Inn. They provide a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, with beautiful rooms and a very convenient location, just minutes away from Lancaster attractions (actually in Ronks, PA!) Tim cooked a wonderful caramelized french toast, and Heidi graced everyone with a beautiful smile as she served. Definitely plan on visiting again!

Candlelight Inn was a good experience. We stayed in the the Jacuzzi suite and were really pleased with it. The Inn is really close and convenient to everything. The food was fantastic and the service was great.

We had a wonderful time, eveything was perfect. Nancy and Bill are so nice ! And breakfast is delicious.

Room was clean, cozy and we had our own balcony. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Breakfast by candlelight was warm and friendly. Food was great and so fresh. Had a wonderful time would go again as soon as I could.

Nice host. Older B&B but quaint. Great service. Fantastic breakfast. Bed needed a little memory foam...

The Candlelight Inn is a fair value for its reasonable rate. The one caution I would make is the front rooms are facing the busy highway. The B&B is currently for sale according to the website, and the maintenance around the hotel is suffering. The front door lock is "tricky" and doesn't work properly. There is an all night diner across the street which attracts tractor trailers and motorcycles. We had much difficulty sleeping because the heavy truck traffic continues all night long - it is a major truck route. If you don't like noise, pick something off route 30. Other guests on the back rooms said it didn't bother them so those rooms must be quieter. The nearby traffic light results in your constantly hearing trucks running through their gears as they start up from the red light - all night long!..... On the good side, you get a comfortable bed and nice hot breakfast. Our bathroom was very small with a tight shower and toilet in a closet size space, with a pedestal sink in the room.... I hope the new owners buy some sound proof windows because the noise is costing them any chance of a repeat visit.

We have stayed in numerous B&B’s in the past and this place is a real treat. The owners are very accommodating and pleasant. The rooms are spacious, well decorated and comfortable. Breakfast is a real treat. This B& B is a real nice place to relax and enjoy life at it’s best.

Our host was very hospitable and allowed us to check in early, plus he kept a few items we purchased from an Amish Farmer's Market in the kitchen refrigerator. The Inn offered complimentary Amish baked goods in the parlor and cordials in our room. Our breakfast was delicious and served in a lovely, quaint sun porch.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a smile. Tim and wife are friendly. Only saw the wife once. Tom is an exceptional host. Answered any questions I had..very cordial and polite. The breakfast was simply out of this world..more than enough. Yes! I would stay here again.

Room was smaller than expected; had no TV; outside door to private porch needs a screen; would have preferred tub/shower

We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary here and we had a very charming and warm experience. We had never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before and did not know how it would be. We were both extremely pleased! Our host was very friendly and the breakfasts were delicious. We would certainly come back here again.

Went to sight and sound theater. This bed and breakfast is close to all things you would want to do. Shopping, Amish and Theater. Great location and very good value. Breakfast was fantastic.

Our stay was truly a very relaxing, peaceful experience. We were met at the door by a very friendly face and that hospitality continued throughout our stay! The Inn is located just off a major highway which makes it very convenient to all area attractions but is set back in a very tranquil setting! The breakfast that was prepared for us was wonderful. We would definitely return for another stay!

We went to Lancaster for our 28th wedding anniversary. Our friend's accompanied us. The room was cozy with the touch of old and grand. They had candles everywhere for added romance. The innkeeper made us a gourmet breakfast. Very pleasant and relaxing stay.

Very clean and friendly environment. The hosts go the extra mile. And if by chance something is not right, will do what they can to make it right. Thanks!!

Hosts are very accommodating, and the breakfasts are delicious. Great place to relax and enjoy. This was our second stay here and we will definitely stay here again.

Lovely place to stay. Convenient location. Tim made gluten free, dairy free breakfasts for my husband.

This was our second stay at Candle Light Inn. Tom and Heidi are excellent hosts and we will be back to see them again. The room was beautifully decorated and very romantic.

Beautiful, well-appointed heritage home. Hosts welcoming but not intrusive -- spoiled us with delicious home baking in the afternoons and full gourmet breakfast each morning. Amish country tours at the doorstep, outlet shopping just down the street and the must-see Longwood Gardens a short drive away. Unrelated to the home or our hosts: lots of transport truck traffic on the main road where the inn is located -- we stayed mid-week, so perhaps it is quieter on weekends.

This B&B is central and convenient to all activities in the Lancaster area. We highly recommend it.

This was the first time my wife and I had stayed at a B&B. It was very nice and relaxing. Very glad we decided to stay at the Candlelight Inn, would return any time of year.

Tim and Heidi do a great job of making you feel right at home. The little touches they have that other B&B’s don’t always do – candles by the Jacuzzi, a fresh fire in the parlor every morning, beautiful music playing downstairs all day – even when they aren’t home! Breakfast every morning is prepared hot and ready as soon as you walk downstairs and is always gourmet, healthy and delicious. This is our second stay with them and we definitely plan to go back!

The inn keeper was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and adequate for our stay. It is on a main road so there is truck noise. Bed very comfy, breakfast was great

Extremely nice and interesting owners. Really want to please

Lovely historic home. Was in the area on business, and I was treated well. Breakfasts delicious and presented well. I learned more about the area, thanks to my hosts.

Had a really great time. What lovely rooms , clean and comfortable. Tom & Heidi were great hosts and wonderful cooks. The in is cozy and very homey.We are planning on coming back and will recommend it to all our friends.

The Candlelight Inn was a relaxing stay. We came for shopping,and after a bust day,it was nice to come back to the Inn.

This was our first time to Lancaster, PA and the first time staying in a bed and breakfast. It was very romantic and a beautiful room. The breakfast was outstanding. The Inn is in a great location, easy to find and close to all the attractions. Overall, a great experience I would stay again.

Lovely inn and attentive innkeepers; breakfast was delicious. Disappointed in the lack of attention to the aging restroom/shower in our guest room and water pressure was sub par. All in all a pleasant and restful stay, would definitely return.

I just read this review, and I wish the guests could have stayed a week later, as I had just finished fixing up and repainting the bathrooms, and checking all the shower heads and sink faucets. (I needed to wait for a 3 day period with no one biooked to do this!) We have well water, and sediment occasionally gets in the sreeens,the water pressure is actually ok.

We enjoyed our stay at the Candlelight Inn very much. Room was very spacious, Tim was very gracious and helpful with suggestions. The breakfasts were excellent!

On a high traffic major road, across from a 24-hour diner. The owner wasn't around much and when she was she never offered any hospitality. Building deteriorating, lots of peeling paint and bare wood. Inside was very dated, had seen better days. Bed was very squeaky. Food was below par. Would not stay there again.

[Resource Id: InnkeeperResponse, Set: reviews]
Well, we do have a 100 year old brick farmhouse, and I must admit some brick needs some repointing! I paint the porches where the guests have access to every other year. There may be a chip or 2 here and there. I have scraped paint off to prepare to paint some more,on the upper story, so there is some bare wood. We are decorated to be dated in a Victorian Style. I suppose everyone has a preference. We are home here most of the time, unsless I have a comcert with the Orchestra, or running errands. I always tell guests when I won't be available. If our guests need us, we can be contacted easily. We pride ourselves on our breakfasts, which is one of the reasons guest keep coming back! We are located on the main road, but we sit 100 ft. back from it. Sometimes guests that stay in the front room tell me it was one of the best night's sleep thy've had in a while, and almost slept through breakfast!I guess it all depends on what you are used to! I always appreciate input and suggestions from our guests, as we are always looking for ways to make their stay more enjoyable!

This was our second stay, our host Tim was wonderful. The breakfasts were delicious!

We really enjoyed our stay--Tim and Heidi were great--the breakfasts were wonderful!

Our room was lovely and cozy. Tim was a charming host and allowed us to include friends who were staying at a local campground for breakfast. I neglected to alert him one of them was gluten intolerant. When she couldn't eat what he served he whipped up a special dish for her. A beautiful place is important but the host's ability to gracefully make a last minute adjustment is even more special. It's the caring service that counts the most. :-)

Extremely friendly service and very informative about the area around the B&B. Breakfast the following day was also excellent, with plenty of food.

We stayed there for two nights in August and everything was what I expected. I will note that most of the negative comments I read from other people that stayed there were regarding the noise especially at night from trucks and the "busy" highway. Our room was on the first floor facing the street and neither of us heard anything at any level of noise that would keep us awake. Coffee was ready early in the morning and available most of the day...as well as ice tea. Breakfast was very good and the host very friendly and helpful. The only negative comment (and this is being picky) is the room could of used a good dusting in all the nooks and crannies. I would stay here again and recommend to family and friends.

Stayed in the Allegro room, which is absolutely beautiful. Warm and rich decor. Tim was a wonderful welcoming host. Breakfast was tasty and beautifully presented. It was a great choice for our romantic getaway, which was a birthday present for my husband.

Lovely B&B and very helpful host. Good location but a little busy main road, so traffic noise is present. Excellent breakfast and excellent price.

The hosts clearly care about the Inn & their guests. It was quiet, beautiful and restful. Breakfast, for this kind of B&B was a bit ordinary, but plentiful. The music theme is nice, as is the soft, classical music in the living room. Ice tea & coffee with cookies in the afternoon was a nice touch.

Family stayed one night in July 2011 very much enjoying the tasteful furnishing, the enchanting atmosphere and the charming service.

Cozy and relaxing and the breakfast was excellent! Would definitely stay here again.

We needed a quiet place that would be comfortable for my elderly father. This place was exactly that. Our hosts were gracious and allowed us to spend time during the day at the B & B so that my dad could rest as he needed. The food was outstanding--tasty and healthy. Staying at the Candlelight made being in Pa on the hottest week-end of the year pleasant and enjoyable.

This is a very comfortable and affordable B&B on the main drag. The breakfast was terrific, the bed was super comfortable, and the room was extra large. Even thought the place is on busy route 30, we could hardly hear the traffic and slept well. Tim, the innkeeper, met us when we arrived, and was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

This was our 4th time staying at the Candlelight Inn and we absolutely love it. All the rooms are gorgeous and the owners are very kind. The breakfasts are delicious.

We enjoyed ours stay here. Breakfast was very good and we found the owner and staff quite helpful. It is on a busy highway, but since our room was in the rear, this was not a problem for us.

The room we requested was not available due to renovations and we were upgraded at no extra cost. The owners were very friendly and helpfull. The only drawback was that it was quite close to a busy, noisey road, but the noise was not a problem from inside the hose

Just stayed overnight, was a very warm evening, room was a little warm but overhead fan helped. Breakfast was super.

The room was good size, easy to adjust temperature, jacuzzi in bathroom wonderful

A quaint lovely home, furnished with antiques in a magnificent town. The owners Tim & Heidi are warm and friendly people. We will gladly stay there again. Ed & Mary

The breakfasts were absolutely delicious. The bed was beautiful and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small and could use some renovations. We had a fantastic time with the owners, and housekeeper. Thanks for the good weather!

This the first time my husband and I stayed at a B&B and we were completely delighted. The owner was courteous and helpful, the food was delicious and filling, just enough to start our day. The room was clean and neat and the entire B&B was furnished beautifully. We will certainly stay at a B&B again, and we will recommend this one to all of our friends.

We had a great stay, jacuzzi was a little small, for (2) 6ft people but we made the best of it. Furnishings were exquisite.Tim was there to answer all our questions, I recommend this B&B for a really romantic time, having NO TV, made it really enjoyable.The breakfast was fantastic.

Great attention was paid to every detail-from the soft music and scented candles upon entering the house; to matching the plating of breakfast to the seating we chose. Every inch of the house and our rooms were tailored for quiet, romantic relaxation. The perfect getaway to reconnect with your mate.

This is a lovely B&B so close to everything the Lancaster area has to offer. The decor is lovely and the house beautiful. The host was so gracious and friendly; breakfasts were so good and served so beautifully. A special treat--one night, just before falling asleep, we heard horses' hooves clopping down the road.

We enjoyed our stay at this conveniently located B&B. Location on high-traffic road is not as peaceful as some other B&B's we've stayed at, but is very convenient to shopping, dining and sight-seeing opportunities. Breakfasts were excellent & superbly presented by a very gracious host. We stayed in one of the top-of-the-line rooms with jacuzzi & fireplace. Jacuzzi was smaller-than-average and not as practical or comfortable as we expected for two people.

We only stayed one night but we had a really nice stay. We were welcomed by the housekeeper who was very nice. She gave us a tour and made us feel very welcome. The room was very nice and the bed was OK. Breakfast was delicious. We would stay here again.

I checked in a little late due to bad traffic and the owner was so gracious when I called & said I would be after the 6:00 check in time. This Bed & Breakfast is warm, friendly & all that I expected. The owners were very informative of things in the area. My room was very quaint, warm & appealing. Breakfast was wonderful and included a regional recipe of Amish Cornbread, the most delicious fresh fruit & pumpkin pancakes! I would definitely recommend the Candlelight Inn and will be going back!

this is alovely house.great location to explore armish country.we had a great time.and service very good and friendly

The breakfasts were delicious! We can't wait to stay again! The room was charming and the bed comfortable. We felt very welcome and would recommend this B&B highly!

We enjoyed our stay at Canclelight Inn. It is conveniently located on Rt. 30, but did not seem noisy because of that. Due to the cooler temps we were not able to enjoy the porch, but I could see that it would be a nice place to sit. The only comment on the down side would be that we had trouble finding a comfortable chair in the whole place... and our room, the Pastorale, would benefit from a few hooks on the walls for coats or bathrobes. The food was delicious and abundant, and the hosts were friendly and forthcoming with help and information.

Tim, the innkeeper, was informative and attentive to our needs. Breakfasts were good, although we would have liked to have meat included in the meal. We also missed not having a TV in our room.

We had a wonderful stay and were treated exceptionally well.

This was our second stay and it was really worth doing again. Tim and Heidi run a great place and we will certainly recommend the Candlelight to anyone traveling to Lancaster County. Everything was top-notch, from the welcome to the room and definitely the breakfasts.

My husband and I, and our 12 year old daughter stayed here in early March. The hosts were so friendly and the food was delicious. So much attention to detail and the comfort of guests. The decor was very romantic. We could not have had a more enjoyable time! I completely recommend the Candlelight Inn!

We had a wonderful evening sitting in front of a roaring fire and chatting with fellow travelers. Tim is a great host.

We have stayed here several times. The rooms are all wonderful. The location is great(right next to the outlets and other shopping in Lancaster).
