Guest Reviews
- Joseph (10/5): It was relaxing. - Staff was friendly and it was clean. Great location. It was a great location and the staff was friendly.
- Sandra (9/5): Wonderful gem. - Quiet, location, beautiful property. Inside pools and hot tub. Surprised it had a mini golf course and petting farm. Among other activities that we didn't have time to enjoy. Beds were okay little too firm for me.
- Roxanne (10/5): Relaxing quick getaway. - Lots of activities for everyone young or old. Great eating at Restaurant, artisan village was filled with shopping. Nice location, clean, comfortable. Outside pool not open yet.
- Deborah (10/5): -
- Morante (10/5): - Me gustó la atención en recepción y que todo estaba cerca y muy bonito
- Steven (8/5): - My wife really enjoyed the indoor pool.
- Grisel Y (10/5): -
- Bruno (10/5): -
- Janette (8/5): - We loved the coffee and donuts at the Bird in Hand bakery. The rooms were spotless if a little dated. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We chose this hotel because of their pools and hot tub. It was a little worrying to see the water was cloudy in the hot tub and one of the pools.
- Debra (8/5): - Very small bathroom area
- Leanne (10/5): We had a great time and are looking forward to going back soon! - We loved all the things to do that were either near the property or a short walk away.
- Miller (8/5): I would stay again, but I would request a room that had air conditioning that worked - The convenience of a great area to do things. The air conditioning did not work properly. The bathroom could have been updated. It was clean but the tub was very slippery. It had a grab bar, but that was not the issue. It needed a bath mat.
- Richard (10/5): Excellent - It is the perfect stop in the middle of Amish country. The beds are clean and the amenities are plentiful such as the pool and hot tub.
- Douglas (9/5): -
- Zachary (8/5): Very pleasant - The check-in checkout lady was very friendly and welcoming. It was close to a lot of things. And they offered a bus tour which was amazing! They need extra locks on the doors
- Rick (8/5): -
- Lillie (9/5): -
- dream (6/5): - Quiet Wasnt very plowed no foot paths to market
- Barbara (4/5): Staff was super friendly but the bed being so uncomfortable and bathroom so small will not be staying again. - Nice location The bed was sooooooo uncomfortable and the bathroom was so small to shut the door you basically had to straddle the toilet.
- David (10/5): - Everything
- Teresa (10/5): - Didn't like the pillows
- Kevin (10/5): Fun - Clean friendly nice Noisy air conditioner

- genaro (7/5): -
- Megan (10/5): -
- perez (9/5): - Bed was uncomfortable
- Jessica (8/5): Great stay! - The Inn was great for families with pools, an amazing miniture golf course, snack bar, tennis courts, very small petting zoo, pretty grounds to walk around, and a great playground. Breakfast was not included. Some upgrades to pool would be nice - the hot tub had a rough bottom that could easily scape feet.
- Melody (8/5): - We love Amish Country and this location is just where we like to be. We can get to anything very quickly. I liked the fact that they have a washer/dryer for guests to use (they do cost), but if you are in the front part of the Inn, you have to drive up to the main building to use them. When we made reservations we ask for a room in the main building, but ended up down front in the older part of the Inn, which is really like a motel atmosphere. Our room was very dated and the bathroom definitely needs upgrades.
- Scarcella (10/5): -
- silva (7/5): - The location is great, close to everything I needed. quiet place, easy access. the room was clean. it had everything we needed for a night of rest. I did not like the pillows, they are small for king size bed. I think you need to change carpet. bathroom door looks like old. the hotel is very confused when it is the first time. but nothing that someone can not solve, I say this mainly in the part of finding the parking place
- Linda (10/5): - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable.
- Mary (10/5): - Staff and pool Booking.com communications with me and property

- Melissa (8/5): Great place but early coffee and free breakfast items would really step your place up. - Great location & clean. Farmer’s market next with restaurant on site. No free breakfast. Quick to eat things for sale. Cereal, pastries, milk, & juice. Coffee not available till 7 am or later.
- Megan (9/5): -
- Beverly (10/5): Family oriented environment where you can relax and enjoy your stay -
- F5945SRrobertt (2/5): Poor quality top prices - As we went there previously approximately 8-10 months ago we myself and very close friends as I sold it to them about the food was brilliant,it was obviously the opposite when it our meal's were served the plates seemed smaller, I myself ordered Cajun chicken I said to the waitress is this a "Sparrow breast" the plate was half filled with chips (Which they pride themselves on) my wife's meal of Hake and crushed new potatoes was nothing more than "Mush" our friends that I suggested to join us had what we call "Castell Howell"ready frozen food, what is disgusting is paying top prices for low standard cheap quick fast food plus top prices for drinks, I'm sorry to tell you that if you go there you be better off going for a "wetherspoons meal" slightly better and a lot better.
- 523jeanettem (10/5): Comfortable, clean, reasonably priced - Are handicap, accessible room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

- Steve (10/5): Great. Looking for next trip - Resturant was not open. Was looking forward to it.
Sad. Hoping it was repaired and open. Maybe next time . Na
- Joseph (5/5): Disappointed that the restaurant was not open. Would not have booked if I knew that. - Pools and whirlpool No record that I saw that the restaurant was closed. Beds were too soft for me
- VIVIAN (9/5): -
- Andres (9/5): -
- Wander07162608247 (10/5): Love this place! - We traveled to Bird-in-Hand Family Inn while visiting the Sight and Sound. While it is not a fancy hotel, it's spacious and clean. This is our 3rd stay in the last few years. We have two children (7 & 4) and the 2 indoor pools are a hit! They are well-maintained and warm. We introduced our girls to ping-pong, which they loved! The staff is friendly and courteous and made sure we had everything we needed. The bakery across the street has great coffee and good food. I highly recommend staying here.
- Samantha (10/5): Short trip - Beautiful NA
- noodles1230 (10/5): Relaxing - Clean room, nicely renovated, clean linens, comfortable bed. Recommend staying here. Quiet, peaceful stay.
- JAMES (3/5): We would not stay there again. - The staff was pleasant and the restaurant was convenient for breakfast. I booked thinking I was staying in the main Inn. We were placed in the old motel along the highway. The room was clean, however, the wallpaper was in disrepair, the king bed was old and not at all comfortable. The toilet took forever to flush and each time you flushed it, it was wait and see if it properly flushed. It was the old low toilet and the heat lamp was on a timer, but would not turn off. You had to physically push the timer knob to turn off.
In general, the room was dated and the only thing that looked to have been replaced was the carpet. For the money, could have stayed elsewhere in nicer accommodations.
- vpipes624222 (10/5): Wonderful - great place to stay when we come to Lancaster again will definitely stay again great rooms great place to eat
- R1013D (10/5): Wonderful family place! - My daughter, grandchildren and I throughly recommend Bird-in-Hand Family Inn for you stay in the area! Our room was very clean and comfortable, the staff are all friendly and the location is great! The grandchildren loved the indoor pools and hot tub. The property is lovely and the buffet is fantastic! We only stayed 2 nights, but would definitely have loved to stay longer. The town is quaint and it is close to Sight and Sound theater and other places of interest.
- yv0nnemp (10/5): ALWAYS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE - We just wanted to get away for a weekend. The other facilities were closing for the season so we stayed at the Family Inn. We LOVE the front building because we can be close to the Farmer's Market. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. The furniture was comfortable as well as the beds. I would like to suggest that the only thing that would make it better would have been to have a queen bed . Otherwise, it was a great stay!
- Sandytoesdmk (10/5): Love Bird In Hand Family Inn - Bird In Hand Family Inn is always a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The staff is wonderful and welcoming. The pools and hot tubs are fabulous! Great location for shopping and dining.
- akmongold11223 (8/5): Family friendly cozy stay - We loved the indoor pool in the middle of December. The smorgasbord buffet for breakfast was a big hit. Bonus points for being walking distance from our hotel. There is also a small vendor market next door that is nice. Nice relaxing stay in Lancaster as usual. The only downfall was the power glitched in the middle of the night waking my children up in a strange place but other than that comfy beds warm, filling breakfast and a weekend full of shopping and relaxing was much needed and memories made with our family.
- Lynn (6/5): Underwhelmed at bird in hand - Checking in was efficient and front desk agent was friendly, welcoming and informative The room was outdated, small and the electrical outlets were cause for concern.
- Janie (10/5): Perfect Winter weekend w/grandchildren including overnight magical snow to enhance the Christmas Vibe! - Have stayed at the hotel for years. No other hotels have been comparable during their closing due to fire & rebuild. Long awaited return for my family trip Absolutely nothing.
- Stacey (10/5): wonderful - comfortable walk to pool
- Heather (10/5): Wonderful stay with consistent, positive experiences over the past 10 years for the entire family! - It’s close to all the attractions, events, and activities with an indoor pool, hot tub, restaurant, petting zoo, playground and more on-site. The location is family friendly with a free Amish tour with your stay which is a family tradition for us. The staff go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. We’ve stayed at the Family Inn once or twice a year for over 10 years. The pool table is broken, but a staff member assisted us so we could play. The restaurant is just ramping up service and only a buffet (no menu) is available for breakfast. A menu and buffet is available for lunch/dinner.
- Nancy (8/5): Pleasant. - My grandchildren loved the pool. The room was clean. The property is a little dated, there was no restaurant on the property unless it’s the one across the street which at that point, we could’ve gone anywhere
- bobron1943 (10/5): Holiday visit - Wonderful location, great view, food and welcoming atmosphere.The peaceful nature of the surrounding countryside is amazing. It is definitely our favorite place to visit.
- starrkershaw2323 (8/5): The place was very nice - Everybody was nice there and it did help us out last minute to get a bedroom.
On Friday night.
Only one thing was wrong there the bedroom floor look like was a little bit dirty around the edges around the bed and the edges. . But the secretary desk was very helpful and nice.. The bathroom was a little bit small. You can only only be around just a little bit in the bedroom.
