Stay #6

There is no other place in Texas I would rather be for a quick getaway than at the Lancaster Manor with Mrs. Connie and Mr. John. The French Room is home away from home, and at this visit, I had the eggs bennie instead of my usual Texas pancakes. YUM! Booking for stay #7 in June for my sister's birthday.

Just like home - but better!

By far, the Lancaster B&B experience was top-notch! Every detail was accounted for, and the attention to detail didn't go unnoticed. We felt like guests in the Lancaster home, rather than a customer. We will always make this location our stopping point in the future!
