Beautiful but needs a bit of work
The radiator heat shut off in the afternoon and never came back on, even though we turned the valve all the way open in the bedroom and bathroom. The little electric fireplace in the room wasn't big enough to keep the room warm. One of the doors on the shower/tub was stuck closed. The breakfast was small and should have been a buffet instead. The 10:30AM checkout was weird - it should have been 11 or noon like most hotels. The rooms were big and beds were comfortable. WiFi was strong. The staff was very nice. The house is beautiful.

This is a National Historic property. The feel is incredible. We loved the history of the property, the room was updated as well as it could be while keeping with the historic mandates. The heat was sporadically too cool or too hot. We were able to use a portable space heater to warm more or open the window to cool when needed. The bed was very comfortable and it was our first time sleeping in a canopy bed. We were in the Mary Cameron room, which was a corner room with lots of windows, a fireplace that had the electric illusion going full time (no smoke!), and a bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The water pressure was good that took a while to warm, but stayed warm through two long showers. This property cares enough about their guests to give you individual bathroom supplies so that you do not need to use bottles that strangers have used hanging on the wall. It was Bergman Kelly brand hair/bath products and Colgate with a toothbrush. Melissa checked us in, served us dinner, served us breakfast, and kept our room clean and stocked with supplies. She was amazing, friendly, and a real asset to the property. The dinner and breakfasts were good. The restaurant is only open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday. So, plan to find another local option if staying on a Monday or Tuesday. Breakfast is only 8 am to 9 am. It is nice at a clothed table, and you order and it is served. The food was good, not great, but good enough to be very enjoyable with no complaints.

A very well-preserved and historic landmark. Every room is unique. Other guests were super quiet. Sit-down breakfast in a proper dining room. Made-to-order omlettes. If it had not been raining, we would have enjoyed the grounds very much. Look forward to another visit sometime.

Nice and quiet
The room was very nice and very clean but smaller room than I booked. The gas fireplace was difficult to start but then it was extra nice! They are pet friendly but you have to stay behind the mansion and dining area was closed on Mondays😩

Beautiful Grounds and History
Beautiful grounds and hotel. This would be a beautiful place for a wedding or other special occasion. We were here for an overnight stay, but found it very comfortable and enjoyed our visit. The restaurant was great and the food was delicious. Breakfast in the morning was also wonderful. The only downside was that our room was on the third floor and it gets more difficult towards the end of a trip hauling that luggage up the stairs!

What a great place. An old mansion in top condition, and upgraded to modern standards. Great history. Grounds are a real park, the rooms are charming, rich antique furnishings, love the wood plank floors, squeaky stairs and upstairs floors. It's beyond charming. A different kind of hotel experience.

A fair price for a nice place. The grounds were gorgeous and the room was like staying in your grandmas house. People's were welcoming and there was coffee and water available 24/7.. We didn't get to eat there but it looked like it was done with care. Would definitely stay there again.

Charming old estate with beautiful grounds. Breakfast and coffee we're good. Very enjoyable overnight stay. A little disappointed that they charged me $25 to check in an hour early.

Not what I was expecting for a bed & breakfast.
I expected more. The fire place was electric but with no heat. The Kleenex’s in the rooms were cheep and rough. The towels were old and they only gave you one. The building is old and needs updated. We didn’t know how to turn up the heat in our room. The breakfast was ok nothing special like you would expect from a bed and breakfast. The service wasn’t great. We had to serve ourselves coffee at breakfast. They don’t go out of there way to make you feel special or at home.

The hotel was empty, however our room was on the top floor and was very small…. a large adult would have difficulty using the toilet. Not sure if that was because our room was paid with a booking service. Having had a positive experience in the past we were very disappointed.

Smoke House full of cigarette smoke
The Inn is charming. We stayed in the smoke house, which is below the Inn. It was spacious. However, the furniture seems hobbled together from stuff off of craig's list. It's below the Inn Keepers room and you can smell what they cooked - shrimp the first night - and every cigarette they smoke and they smoke a bunch. Also, there is no blow dryer and no employees to get you one after hours - nor return phone calls.

Underwhelmed. Did not get room reserved, and when politely questioned, no explanation or apology was offered, just a curt, "no that's not the room you are getting". Ok, proceeded to room, with no further welcoming and/or friendly discussion about the Inn, etc. Told key was hanging by the room, and that was about it. Cold and not very friendly, as mentioned by other reviewers. Unusual for an "Inn" of this supposed caliber. Room, (did I mention not the one reserved) was as expected otherwise. Bedding good, room clean. Breakfast was standard institutional fare, with powdered "scrambled" eggs and sausage/bacon etc. Frozen waffles, heated on a steam table, with some compote spread on it. Exact same as you would get at a Hampton Inn, so don't expect much more. There are far better options than the Cameron Estate Inn, and sadly; I would suggest looking elsewhere if you want a true "high caliber Inn" experience. Not coming back.

Cool old mansion. I’m not always comfortable at B&Bs as I feel like I’m staying in someone’s home. This experience was different. The property feels like a private place, but you don’t feel like you are in someone else’s space. We had a slight problem as there were a lack of electrical outlets in our room.

Beautiful Views
When you pull in through the gates, you’ll be impressed by the beautiful grounds. It’s definitely a great venue for a wedding. The interior though is very run down, outdated and musty. My toilet kept flushing but there wasn’t anyone around to address it. Inside the entrance smelled of gas. When you do meet someone, they are very friendly. It could have been an off day but I would not stay here again.

Lovely and convenient old place
We really enjoyed our stay at Cameron Estate. Very convenient to the Lancaster area with plenty of parking, lovely grounds and plentiful amenities. The hotel restaurant is good and the staff are very friendly. Being an older facility, it could use some upgrading, but overall a really nice place.
