The inn was excellent and really quaint. We loved the interior but the non-stop heavy truck traffic and related noise really bothered us. Otherwise, the service and food was excellent and the inn keepers and staff were first rate.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are so glad you found our inn to be quaint and enjoyed our service and breakfast. As far as traffic, you must have had a room on the street side, which can be busy. Most of our rooms, however, are off the street in the back of the inn. On your next visit, we will get you into one of those rooms.

This was our best and favorite stay on our 10 day x-country adventeure. The "feeling at home" was a comfort to say the least in a town such as Gettysburg. Brian and Amy such the conscientious Innkeeepers that have made this the place stay;;;; forever in our world and hopefully yours! Thank you!

It is a beautiful property spread over many buildings. We were in an out building - 3 flights of stairs up! Be sure to check the location of your selected room to be sure you will be comfortable with climbing if necessary. It was not their fault. Didn't really read the room description well. Breakfasts were very nice, staff and owners very attentive. Will return -- just at another altitude, LOL

Thank you for your review! When booking through 3rd party sites, you are given a room randomly, and really do not get to choose where the room is located. FYI.

The staff was welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The room was clean, even though a few signs of wear were evident here and there (due to the age of the building and some antique furnishings). The bathroom was nice, however, the shower could splash water out onto the floor. The amenities were good, although water bottles in the room would have been a nice touch. The bed was clean and comfortable, and our stay was pleasant. The breakfast was wonderful with a number of home-cooked options in a delightful room. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay!
One of our new favorites! Our hosts were very accommodating and informative, as well as two of the nicest and hardest working people! Our room was adjacent to the main area which required us to walk a very short distance outside to go to breakfast, but was it ever worth it! A daily choice between 4 made-to-order dishes served with fresh fruit, coffee and juice. It was enough to keep us fueled for our long walks around the city until dinner. The Inn is convenient to the city proper and you can easily walk to many sites. Parking for the inn is a designated lot within a block of your accommodations.

Hmm, a well-worn claim. Got to sleep in a room that once housed Abe Lincoln (was a bar, I believe). Absolutely grand place to stay, and won't break your bank. Walking distance to heart of Gettysburg. Easy drive to all the must-see places. Avoid the chain-hotels, and enjoy some nostalgic life, meet some hosts that are dynamo's to their guests.

The inn is beautiful! Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was sooo good! The owners are such nice people and were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. If there's a downside, it's that the inn is right on the main street, so noise is a problem. Overall, we'd highly recommend the Brafferton Inn.

We stayed in the Eisenhower room. Good size, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was provided each morning in the dining room. We had several things to chose from and they were different each day. The food was great! The Inn is located very close to the downtown area. Easy walking to virtually everything. Great sense of history with this place. Highly Recommend!

Run to the Brafferton Inn if you are staying in or around the Gettysburg area. Brian& Amy were amazing hosts, fun knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. The friendliness of the staff (and Brian’s mom!) was above & beyond as they took us for a tour of the Inn and explained the history associated with it. Will without a doubt be back to stay& visit

Extremely Noisy
We stayed on the second floor at the front of the building facing the street. The stairs were not very wide making it difficult to carry a suitcase. The NOISE level in that room was outrageous. I understood the ear plugs after an hour up there. Sleep was impossible.

Sorry you did not enjoy your room. The Brafferton Inn has 18 bedrooms, most of which are in the back of the house off the street. On our website, all street side rooms are clearly marked for traffic, as we are located in the center of downtown Gettysburg. If you had booked direclty through the inn instead of an online travel agent, we could have helped you pick out a room of your liking.

Historical visit
Great location. We were looking for something different than your basic hotel, something historical. The breakfast was delicious, historical books, coffee, tea and cookies in the lobby was a nice touch. We rented two rooms, both at the same price. One room was very nice the other just ok. The only negative-a little nicer bedding would be great. Over all a great stay.
