Our stay at the Swope Manor Bed & Breakfast in Gettysburg was exceptional from start to finish. The location is ideal—just a short, easy walk to shops, restaurants, and the historic sites that make Gettysburg so special. The manor itself is absolutely beautiful, decorated with elegant antiques that perfectly capture the charm and authenticity of the 1860s. It truly feels like stepping back in time, yet with every modern comfort. The Gettysburg Room was especially lovely—the spacious layout and the comfortable soaking tub were a perfect touch after a long day of touring the battlefield. Breakfast each morning was excellent, freshly prepared, and served in a gracious, period-style dining room. Innkeeper John was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about both the manor and Gettysburg’s history, adding an extra layer of richness to our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Swope Manor is a true gem, and we look forward to returning on our next visit to Gettysburg!

“Historic Inn - conveniently located”

Inn was very historic and the host gave us a tour on arrival. The room was spacious and well appointed. The location was convenient to activities. The yard area was well kept. Everyone was very friendly. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

“Exceptional!”

Beautiful bed and breakfast. Spotless, not a speck of dirt or dust in such a lovely environment. Breakfast was delicious. Service was top-notch. Wonderful location, able to walk all over town right out the front door. Will definitely stay again!

“A great place to stay in Gettysburg”

Our recent stay here was our first and mostly positive. We chose this place because of proximity to walking around town (like I’m sure many do) plus the option of staying in a historic and homey place unlike a hotel.

Our recent stay here was our first and mostly positive. We chose this place because of proximity to walking around town (like I’m sure many do) plus the option of staying in a historic and homey place unlike a hotel. I’d read that the parking was in a public (pay) lot and we found it easier to park and walk instead of the drop off then park, but that’s a personal preference and the option to drop off is wonderful. The lot is about a block behind the inn and a short walk. We were greeted by three people on our way in and immediately felt welcomed. We were given a tour of the bottom floor with explanations of how things worked, what we had access to, asked if we had any food allergies and when breakfast is served. We were taken upstairs to our room and shown things there. The Swope manor was, for us, within walking distance of everything we wanted to see in town and then some. The weather was perfect which certainly helped. When we returned for the evening there were people both inside and outside having conversations. It was a beautiful evening so my husband and I got a glass of wine courtesy of the hosts and sat outside on the patio which has room for many to sit. In addition to wine and beer there were homemade dark chocolate chip cookies available as well as coffee and tea. I still don’t know how many staircases there are and it’s easy enough to get lost if you’re new there but it’s decorated in period style with each room having its own unique flavor. The only negative for us was the room we were in, the Gettysburg suite, is in the front of the house which due to being in a city environment was busy. And loud. The entire night. Then there was the fire station that’s very close and the alarm went off a few times also. Needless to say we didn’t have the restful night that others staying there did due to their rooms being in the back of the house. The breakfast the next morning was so fun, having someone serve us in almost a formal way. We were able to meet others and ask them about where they were from, etc. Fresh fruit, a muffin of sorts and quiche was the breakfast of the day. Plus a choice of juice and coffee or tea. I chatted with the morning staff who served us breakfast and they were so friendly and helpful and didn’t seem rushed for me to leave them alone 😅 The loud noises at night was definitely the worst part about the visit, especially since we live in a very rural area which probably affected us more so just be aware of the noise if you choose the Gettysburg suite otherwise I’m sure you’ll have a great time. The shower in that room was amazing though!
