You plan what time you're gonna have breakfast with them every morning and they have a table ready for you when you get there you're super friendly and for you with a bright smile. Cool separated suite with multiple rooms. Access to the main house by code when it's closed. The host always has fresh cookies in the main lobby, which is a sweet nice touch. The room is pretty nice.

We made reservations at the Brafferton, and it was the best choice ever! We were greeted by the owner as we pulled up to check in. We were given a tour. We were shown where they put the free cookies for guests, and there is 24-hour coffee and tea available in the main room. After the tour, we relaxed in our time-appropriately decorated room. It was beautiful and very comfortable, with a separate sitting room and exclusive access to a deck. After a great night's sleep in our quiet and very comfortable room. We went down for breakfast at our chosen time. There were numerous options on the menu. All were freshly made to order and delicious! Do NOT pass up on the Brafferton Inn!

The wonderful communication continued throughout our stay which shows how much they really care about the Inn and their customers. The Inn is very clean and well kept. Breakfast was included and both mornings the cook Andy made us a delicious breakfast! We received a talk and tour of the cellar from Bruce who was extremely knowledgeable on the local history. This was a great bonus. They also have a very cute outside fire pit area so we were able to have a fire outside one night which we really enjoyed. We definitely experienced some paranormal happenings during our stay which made things exciting too! Overall I would rate our stay a 10/10 and I would highly recommend staying here if you are planning a trip to Gettysburg! I know we will definitely be back to visit again!!

Our very large suite room was comfortable and nicely decorated. Antiques are Rkia's passion, and she has made many acquisitions for the mansion and its rooms. In the morning we were served an elegant egg breakfast in the large dining room. The fruit cup was especially delicious! Rkia told us she cuts it fresh every morning so as to present it at its best, and it arrived in a stemmed glass dish. All in all an enjoyable stay!

I called and texted multiple times to the number on the main front door. No avail. We had to stop a woman doing a ghost tour to let us in the side door. The room was exceptionally hot. 3rd floor.

Also, it seemed a bit cheesy with the "scary" old looking pictures and dolls through out the room. We were hoping for something closer to actual decoration of the time not uncomfortable paintings and dolls. When leaving (we left early for a family emergency) I emailed (which is the fastest communication they said. Explaining we were leaving. No reply, sent another email, no reply. Then finally in the morning I wanted to confirm they got any of the emails, and finally one came back. Communication isn't the greatest. Also, the parking is horrible. If each room has a spot. There should be a sign that it is that's room parking spot. There is no signage and if you get there in the dark your screwed to even know it the right parking lot. I had high hopes for this B&B but it definitely fell short. If you're looking for a "spooky" place this may be it. It all seemed a bit fake to me. I did appreciate the 2 fake fireplaces we had in our room. It hit under 40 over our stay at night, these were great. If you have neck/back problem-bring your own pillows or whatever you need. The pillows reminded me of the deflating hospital pillows. Also, there's a shareable hot tub and we didn't know about it. Maybe because it was off season, things weren't running smoothly? Not sure.

Where do I even begin?! Well, sit back, get a cuppa and relax - this is going to take some time!…read moreOctober 1st-October 5th - the weekend of my daughter's long-awaited wedding. We took over. Every room. At first, everyone was "omg - we're all a minimum of 3.5 hours away - WHY!!!" As Mother of the Bride, I had a lot of work on this wedding, and Connie was my first contact here. She made everything perfect from the onset. My husband and I visited about 3 weeks before the big day to lock down decorations with Connie in the amazing barn. She made us feel welcome & was so incredibly helpful. We left with a feeling of control, where before I was just frazzled. I knew she understood my vision for the decorations and would do everything she could to make it happen. The house itself is a magical place with rooms tucked through this door, past the games, to up one of the two staircases, to behind that door off the parlor, to down the stairs through the solarium! Tea and coffee are always available, along with lemonade and water. They offer a variety of teas and coffee pods for all flavor lovers, including decaf. From this room we open to the grand solarium. Completely surrounded by the 2nd-story deck and porch with an outdoor fireplace! Big windows allow for streaming sunlight all day - it sparkles! Tables set here are for the 100% delicious breakfasts Sally whips up in the kitchen! The deck/porch off this room lent itself to the cocktail hour for the rehearsal dinner, where everyone had the most fun petting some of the many cats that live on the property! The stairs leading down from the solarium held two more rooms. Anna's Garden room. The other is Houghtelin Hideaway Room - wow! This was our room. While not technically an "old" part of the house structure, it oozed aged refinement. A large king bed was the highlight with the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept in! I seriously need to know what it was - I peeked under the sheets and did see a foam topper, but that couldn't be the whole secret! A big 1920s oak 'set-back" dresser gave ample room to put our clothes away. smart lamps on either side of the bed lent some modern convenience with USB ports, plugs, and such. A beautiful vanity sat as a use for either a desk or a vanity with a large mirror over. There is also a bench with a large mirror over - plenty of "getting ready" mirrors. A closet with overhead light helped to hold out garments, bags, with hooks set extra high for gowns and such. The other side of the room held a huge leather sofa that you just sink into! Chairs and tables allow this area to be a nice conversation nook. The bathroom was a masterpiece in itself! A huge walk-in stone shower with both a hand-held wall-mounted spray as well as an overhead rain shower head. They also supply shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in a wall-mounted dispenser. The enormous soaking tub was well used by myself three times! The vanity was well lit with so much room for things underneath with open shelves. A door out of the room at back led to a small patio area with a table and chairs and a path that leads directly to the wedding garden. Everyone there did everything possible to make my daughter's wedding weekend a magical event, and I truly hope we didn't overwhelm them too much! Right to the moment we pulled out on Sunday morning, watching the house fade in the mirrors behinds us - we knew we would be back again and again. This place felt like home. And one last - if you are holding an even there is none better than Connie to help you! She is an amazing, helpful, joy-filled, exuberant, AWESOMEDANCER, of an event coordinator!!

The breakfast was wonderful even though the owner stood there and watched us eat. I would give the home and location itself 5 stars. The room we stayed in however, would be rated 1 star. We chose the room with the jetted tub to be able to enjoy it. There were pubic hairs in and around the bathtub. Anyone who cleaned this would have seen them. Also, the shower curtain had a ring topper which encompasses the entire tub. This made the shower curtain touch your skin while in the shower. The tub was very difficult to get in and out of; it could use a step. The bed---- This was the most uncomfortable $200 bed a night I have ever stayed in. We just stayed the night before at a La Quinta and it was amazingly comfortable!! It was a double bed that leaned to one side. It was uneven therefore you could sleep welll. The pillows were the thinnest pillows I've used in years and you only get 2.
