BEST BED AND BREAKFAST!!!

The Lancaster Manor was absolutely AMAZING! The host have put together the most beautiful bed and breakfast. I took my mom this weekend to see Stevie Nicks, and so thankful that surrounding hotels were booked up while planning this trip. I came across this gem and will be returning for more stays! The breakfast was delicious and they were so accommodating. Felt like home!

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.
