Speedwell Forge B&B dan 5 09/01/2009 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.

Speedwell Forge B&B mary anne 5 04/11/2009 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 B&B Lois 5 01/02/2009 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.

Speedwell Forge B&B JoAnn 5 12/08/2008 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.

Speedwell Forge B&B Mark N 4.33 11/30/2008 The stay was outstanding, the accomodations wonderful, and the attached wolf preserve was fantastic! The only downer was that we had received this as a gift from a friend and, when booked, she had arranged to have chocolates from the local manufacturer waiting in the room for us. We never received those and when our friend inquired about that missing piece was told (somewhat rudely we're told) that the prices had changed and that was no longer included. It seems strange that she 1) was never notified and given the option to "upgrade" if she so desired, 2) had already paid the going price at the time (via a gift certificate) and what she paid for was not delivered, and 3) was treated somewhat rudely when inquiring about it. While our stay was very pleasurable, this B&B owner has now lost 2 possible future customers (our friend and us) as well as those friends we certainly would have recommended to the property in the future but won't now. So, while I wouldn't disway a casual reader here from staying at what is certainly a wonderful property, please do keep in mind that your terms may change at any time with no notice to you based on the innkeeper's whims. If you feel comfortable with that, or feel that you can obtain what you paid for if slighted by going through the BBB or others (as we still might) don't hesitate to stay here. Otherwise, be careful.

Response
Note from Innkeeper: When a gift certificate is purchased for our B&B, the only way any additional packages can be added to a gift certificate is to speak directly to the innkeeper, who will then add it to the bill. Our receipt shows only payment for the room. We enjoy putting together the flowers and chocolates package and would not have missed an opportunity to give one. . . had it been ordered.

Speedwell Forge B&B Leslie 5 05/14/2007 You have to go! Speedwell Forge is a very special place--a peaceful, private retreat in a magnificent house, beautifully restored, elegantly decorated, warm and welcoming. Dawn is a wonderful host.

Speedwell Forge B&B Linda 5 05/14/2007 Extraordinary. Impecablly refurbished home on acres of woodland. The inn offers comfort, welcome, approachable elegance and nurturing peace. After travelling 8 hours to visit an ill mother, we found a haven, and will return.
