"We're Coming Back"--what we both said the moment we got in the car.

What are you looking for in a Bed and Breakfast? My partner and I were lookign to relax, have some great food, and enjoy an area we had never been to before. We decided on Lancaster, PA and the King's Cottage. And we were pleasantly surprised. Honesty, we aren't fussy travellers. I don't expect the whole world to revolve around me when I travel and am often fine with things being pleasant. Not at King's Cottage. Try soothing and enjoyable, cozy and inviting, delicious and even fun. In short, this place had the most attentive and engaging innkeepers of any place we have stayed. Very well-considered touches including a card in our room for our anniversary, a sane and well-timed cleaning schedule, afternoon tea and evening cordials, and truly some of the kindest people I've met traveling in some time. Our room, the "Princess Suite" was beautiful without being over the top. I just can't stand waking up feeling like I got jumped by doilies, antique dolls, sachets of potpourri and lace everythings. There is something to be said for knowing when enough is enough--knowing the difference between lovely and relaxing and cartoonishly quaint. Our room was lovely and relaxing. The linens were crisp and luxurious, the double bath was so relaxing I nearly fell asleep. Plush towels, a TV/DVD, and our own little balcony were just perfect.
Here we relaxed and truly had a romantic, quiet getaway with some wonderful hosts able to guide us to wonderful dining (Strawberry Hill and El Serrano), and a hanful of repeat guests who were delightful.
I highly suggest going there right now. We will definitely be back.
