Flowers & Thyme B&B

238 Strasburg Pike
Lancaster, PA 17602-1326
United States of America

(717) 393-1460
 

Circa 1941. Flowers and Thyme Bed & Breakfast is a brick Colonial B&B overlooking a working farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The picturesque cottage gardens, as well as an herb garden, were featured in Birds and Blooms Magazine. An Amish carpenter built the home and the present innkeepers grew up here among the Amish and Mennonite communities. They are knowledgeable about the area and its history. The inn offers antiques and quilts and a variety of amenities such as a canopy bed, Jacuzzi or a fireplace. The Gathering Room hosts the full country breakfast that is served each morning. A few minutes away are outlet stores, farmers markets, antique shops, craft and boutique shops.

Historic Interest

The Central Market in Lancaster is one of the oldest enclosed markets in the country featuring everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to flowers and baked goods. The Hans Herr House, the county's oldest building and second oldest Mennonite meeting house, is four miles from the home. For something unique, try the scenic 45-minute journey through Amish country on America's oldest short line, the Strasburg Railroad.

We stayed one night while attending a Christian music concert nearby. We wish we had set up the trip to stay another night and enjoy the wonderful home and hospitality of Don and Ruth! Everything was great, the breakfast was fantastic!

Ruth is an amazing hostess. She made us feel right at home in her home. Breakfast was always tasty and was a good start to our long days. There is so much to do in Lancaster that we enjoyed our stay.

The stay was absolutely amazing. As advertised. Clean, and we had no problems. Arrived on Thanksgiving day and mentioned to the owners that we were looking forward to the hammock. They told us it was down for the winter but reminded us about the Gazebo which was just fine for us (it is winter). Next morning: the owner had put up the hammock for us! We also left an iphone charger which they found and mailed to us before we even knew it was missing. Definitely stay again and recommend without hesitation. Five Hearts.

A Home away from Home

If your looking for a "home away from home" this is it! From the minute we arrived to our departure, we felt so welcomed, relaxed, and as if we were visiting good friends. This was our first visit, and we look forward to returning. Wait "till you see the abundance of flowers and carefully tended gardens! Your "thyme" will pass too quickly, and you"ll be planning your next trio to Flowers and Thyme.

We had a wonderful overnight away in Lancaster County! My husband usually chooses our accommodations, he is very analytical and experienced in travel. I did the reservation this time and we both were so very pleased with my choice of Flowers and Thyme B and B! The hosts were so warm and welcoming and helpful, their home is spotless, and the breakfast was delicious! Their location in Lancaster County was perfect for what we had planned - dinner and a night out at the Fulton Theater in downtown Lancaster and Christmas shopping on Saturday.
