The garden around the property was well maintained and enhanced the patio and thus increased our enjoyment of the patio area.
The main house is beautiful and kept spotlessly, bringing honor to the memory of the original owners of years gone by.
Thank you!

If you like a B&B, STAY HERE!
A totally excellent experience. Hosts were gracious and welcoming. Room was well kept and well appointed. Strong shower and HEATED FLOOR IN THE BATHROOM! Breakfasts were a delight with a nice, diverse, flavorful offering. If we are ever in the area again, this is where we will stay.

We enjoyed our 2 day stay. This B&B was even better than described on the web site. Diane and Scott were wonderful hosts and we look forward to returning the next time we are in Lancaster.
P.S. The gourmet breakfast each morning was amazing, and they were considerate of my special dietary requests.

Elegant and comfortable, the Bowman House is surprisingly quiet despite its fronting on Lititz Pike (501). In the rear garden a waterfall offered a tranquil retreat. Scott and Diane served delicious breakfasts, and a guest kitchen is stocked with snacks and a Flavia coffee/cappucino/matcha tea machine. My favorite shoe store, R B Shap, is two miles away and downtown Lititz less than 4. I’ve stayed in four other inns/hotels in the area and this is by far the best. Diane and Scott made me feel very welcome; I’ll gladly return.

Outstanding breakfasts and very friendly couple. Beautiful garden. I stay essentially for a place to sleep while part of my family was up from North Carolina with their kids. So didn't try or plan to get around very much, but I'm familiar with the area.

This a beautiful and welcoming bed and breakfast. There are so many little touches that elevate your stay such as the beverage area, snacks and candies, robes for your convenience and comfortable seating areas. The breakfast was delicious and the host was kind and thoughtful. Our room was clean and well set up and the bathroom was updated and came with nice thick towels. The grounds were gorgeous. I definitely plan to come back!
