My husband and I were looking for a B&B away from it all and close to nature. We were very happy with the location and surroundings of Speedwell Forge. The owners are so friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to offer suggestions and answer any questions. We enjoyed the company of all the people we met there. Even though it was raining, we saw the wolf sanctuary and were fascinated to see them up close and hear their howling which was both strange and beautiful. Our room, was delightful; it is named after the owner's grandmother, Kathryn.
The strawberry rhubarb pie that she baked was incredibly delicious, as was the breakfast of baked apples, granola and quiche with fresh vegetables. Since staying at Speedwell Forge, we have also gotten into the habit of leaving our shoes at the door! It felt like home, walking around in our slippers.
I would also like to recommend a wonderful paperback book that I bought in the nearby town of Lititz, for sale in the Col. Sutter Hotel and restaurant. It is called "Breakfast with Buddha." A wonderful story.
