Restored in 2006, Speedwell Forge Bed and Breakfast in Lititz, Pennsylvania features guestrooms that include private bath, central air, wireless Internet, and most rooms feature a fireplace and whirlpool tub. Located on a 120-acre farm between a lake and natural park, Speedwell Forge Bed & Breakfast is the perfect place to get away from it all, yet only minutes from the historic small towns of Lititz, Ephrata, and all of Pennsylvania Dutch County.
The Paymaster's Office, a private cottage with king-sized bed, whirlpool bath, vaulted ceiling, and gas fireplace, is the ultimate romantic getaway. The Summer Kitchen suite, a two-story cottage with a queen bed upstairs and two twins downstairs, is ideal for family vacations. The inn features ample amenities including a whirlpool tub, gas fireplace, Cable TV with VCR/DVD, kitchenette and dining area. Kathryn's Room, in the mansion, has a canopy queen bed and claw foot whirlpool bath for two.

This was a very last minute decision to stay at a B&B for our Anniversary and we are so thankful that we chose Speedwell Forge. The Inn was beautiful inside and out. The owner Diane was so friendly and attended to our every need. Our only regret is that we did not stay another night. We were so impressed with all the care and love that has been put into restoring this lovely Inn. We have made it our mission to spread the word and tell our friends about Speedwell. We can not wait to go again for my birthday. Also, you have to see and hear the Wolves at the Sanctuary located behind the Inn. They are amazing animals and just like the Inn, you can see how much care goes into making sure the Wolves have a safe and happy place to call home.

My wife and I stayed in the Paymaster's Office Suite at Speedwell Forge Inn on our recent visit to Lancaster County PA. We had seen the inn's website and had already been impressed, but the moment we set foot on the property our expectations were exceeded exponentially. Dawn was a gracious hostess,her aid with our itinerary most helpful, the breakfasts were delicious and well presented, and the property itself was wonderful. Plus Lititz and the surrounding area were beautiful offering a wealth of options to spend our time. The Paymaster's Office was absolutely perfect with the fireplace and the jacuzzi tub. Our stay was to celebrate no particular occasion, but Speedwell Forge Inn is the type of place that will make ANY visit SPECIAL. We definitely hope to return to visit Dawn and the Speedwell Forge Inn again and certainly will reccomend to our friends and relatives.

This was my 10 year old son and my first stay at a B&B and we both loved it! The house is so warm and comfortable and inviting, and Dawn is such a welcoming hostest. The breakfast was delicious (even for my rather picky son!). While we originally stayed in order to be close to the wolves, we would come back just to stay at the house. A wonderful treat!

Speedwell Forge is by far one of the best kept secrets in the MidAtlantic states. Dawn Darlington takes great pride in her B&B and it shows!!! The wolf sanctuary is an added bonus.

Immaculately clean B&B - the room was amazing with 2 beds, private bath and a wonderful fireplace. Beautiful views of the snow dusted coutryside. So many special touches that made this B&B the best I've ever stayed at. Truly pampered.
