“Birthday celebration”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

This b&b exceeded our expectations. The room was wonderfully large and the bathroom had a xtra large jet tub that was so fun to relax in. The meals were superb and Janice and Ann could not have been any more accommodating . We have been to the tourist area of Lancaster many times but we went to some restaurants that we never would have found without their help. I would suggest this b&b to anyone and would take any advice and recommendations that Janice and Ann would give.

“Why did I wait 10 years?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My wife and I stayed here 10 years ago and we had a very nice time. Why I waited that long I simply don't know. We decided to come back for a short get away and much to our surprise the place has improved greatly. Not that it was a bad place to begin with. It was a very nice experience 10 years ago. But this time around we were blown away. The breakfast was to die for. The peaceful atmosphere, the beautiful room and the wonderful treatment we received from Janis and Ann......are beyond words. We will not wait another 10 years to return.

Room Tip: Can't go wrong with the carriage house.

“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012

This was our 2nd stay at Kings Cottage and we were very pleased. We stayed in the Princess Room and the room was very cozy, clean, and well appointed. Janis and Ann really go out of their way to make your stay special. It was our anniversary and they couldn't do enough for us.

Breakfast was a top notch dining experience. The food was well presented and the taste was excellent. We are planning another stay this Spring.

Mike and Lil

We are glad you chose us again for your Lancaster County getaway. We can't wait to show you the changes we have made in the Princess since your Jan. stay. New photos should be up some time in April on our website and the balcony will be wonderful in the spring time. We look forward to seeing you again. Ann

“Best B&B experience ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

We found this place last minute and were so glad we did. Janis and Ann (and Sampson) were extremely welcoming and made sure we got the most out of our time in Lancaster County by providing maps, information about activities and the area and making dinner reservations for us. They also served us the most incredible breakfast. The room was beautiful and clean, with the most incredibly comfortable bed. It is on the corner of a quite busy road (as a couple of the negative reviews mentioned) but this was not an issue for us at all. Once inside we found the inn to be very quiet and relaxing, and our room, the Contessa, was whisper quiet.A great experience all around. If we ever go back to Lancaster County we will be sure to go back to Kings Cottage.

Room Tip: Contessa room was very quiet.

“No room at the inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We hadn't booked at Kings Cottage B&B but it was early evening after a very long driving day, that we knocked on the front door, hoping to find 2 rooms. Unbeknown to us foreigners, being Friday night in the middle of October (think Halloween month in USA, the Hershey Zoo open for night visits over the weekend, and Fall fesitivities in the Amish country), there was not a room available in the house. And in fact, Ann, the host of the B&B, suggested that there wouldn't be any in the area.
However this did not deter her from helping us. She and her partner called at least 15 hotels, inns,and B&B's in the surrounding area, asking whether they had any rooms available, taking up a good 40 minutes of their time. Always they were very professional, in good spirits, and seemed as though it was not a bother to them. Lucky for us, they finally found us one.
With such thoughtfulness and help like that, we know The Kings Cottage would have to be a fabulous place to stay. Thank you Ann!

We try to help all visitors who show up at our door looking for a room, whether they stay with us or not. We are glad these folks didn't give up on us since this was a very busy October weekend. We hope you will be able to stay with us if you ever return to Lancaster PA. Thanks for taking the time to put your comments here. Ann
