The owners were amazing. The grounds were very clean. Breakfast was delicious. One of the best nights sleep I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Stock’s Manor is a great bed and breakfast! We didn’t get a chance to stay very long, but the property was beautiful! The view of the surrounding area was spectacular and everything was very quiet. The blueberry pancakes that were served for breakfast were fantastic! It appears that the Manor has plenty of space for events. I can’t think of a better setting in the area for a gathering of some sort.

Stocks was a great place to stay. KJ was so energetic, fun to talk to and provided excellent customer service. The bed was comfortable and the food was delicious. They were even able to cater to us being gluten free! Even though there was a wedding and a rain storm that took a tree branch down while we were there, we never felt ignored nor brushed aside for anything we needed. KJ gave fantastic restaurant suggestions for dinner and we were not disappointed. We look forward to staying again!

I loved that the home was built in the late 1700's and the decor and furnishing matched that era with the amenities from 2022. I also enjoyed walking around the area. I got a great several miles in walking up hills amongst the fall foliage. It was also very close to everything I needed to be in Mechanicsburg.

Our experience was like spending time with friends. The house was clean and attractive, while the breakfast was on time and delicious. We felt very well cared for! They have spoiled us to the point that a hotel can only be a let-down.

The venue is set up primarily to do catering for weddings and large parties. A large banquet room extending off the main house is clearly a draw. The B&B is a side line and an afterthought. There are only two bedrooms in the B&B (both on the second floor), so we were the only couple staying there. The bedroom with adjoining bath was smalll, but adequate and the king-sized bed was extremely comfortable. Air conditioning, plumbing, painting, etc. were all clearly new, and the formal dining room was lovely, but there were not welcoming seating areas in the public areas--no place where two couples could sit comfortably to chat, no place to read, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review and we enjoyed having you as our guests. Indeed, we do attract many weddings, but we also have a strong history of return overnight guests, since we feel as though we make our overnight guests feel so special. We are a small bed and breakfast, having only two rooms, which is the reason why many of our guests return year after year, since we provide them with such extra special attention. As far as adequate seating, throughout our first floor we have scattered seating in each room, from 5 bar stools in the bar area, 6 chairs in our game room, 2 overstuffed chairs in our library (which is a great spot for reading, due the comfortable chairs and overhead lighting) and 8 chairs in our dining room. When both rooms are occupied and two couples want to chat, we typically find them at the bar or in the game room, due to the amount of seating in these rooms. We do hope you come back and visit us again.

Beautiful rooms, buildings and property. This is more of an event venue than a true B&B. Upon arrival, I had to ask for water, there weren't snacks - not a cookie to be found and the property is remote. Also after everyone checked in the hosts left. We did not see them at all. Breakfast was excellent. The tea and actual dish service was lovely.

Thanks for your review. We apologize we did not have snacks and cookies upon your arrival and apologize we left for a couple hours to manage our restaurants, but we were only a phone call away if anything was needed. We are so glad you enjoyed your breakfast. We hope to see you again soon (and we will be sure to have cookies waiting for you :) )

Extremely gracious helpful, delightful host and hostess! Room was very comfortable excellent bed and bedding. Breakfast was delicious! Would most certainly choose Stocks Manor for our next visit. We visited this area to see the fall foliage. Stephen went out of his way to contact a local meteorologist for a foliage update, his help was greatly appreciated. KJ spent some extra time giving us the unique history of this beautiful home, we felt like we had been friends for forever! Thanks KJ and Stephen!

Wondeful Property and Hosts!
My teenage daughter and I recently stayed at Stocks Manor while visiting family in Pennsylvania. We were immediately welcomed by Stephen who helped us from the parking lot to our room with luggage. The Manor and the grounds were absolutely beautiful and our room offered much needed comfort after a long drive. Throughout our stay Stephen and his wife K.J. were gracious hosts making us feel at home. We were asked our preferences for breakfast and everything was absolutely delicious. In fact my daughter who hardly eats anything enjoyed the breakfast so much that on the last day KJ packed up extra for us to take with us. I would highly recommended this bed and breakfast to anyone traveling through the area and would like to personally thank Stephen and KJ for such a wonderful experience.

Historical peace
Came for car show in Carlisle which can be reached by turnpike or can avoid traffic by going on the back country roads from b&b. Since there are only two guest rooms, our family had the guest portion of the house to ourselves. Owners are knowledgeable about the area and very nice. There was not an event booked so everything was very peaceful and relaxing. Wife is a history nut so she really enjoyed the place.

History mixed with Modern convenience
Our two night stay at Stocks Manor was perfect. We were warmly welcomed by Stephen when we pulled up and immediately felt comfortable. Our room was beautiful with lovely furnishings, a very comfortable King bed and a clean and modern bathroom. Flat screen t.v., iPod adaptive clock radio and free WiFi provided our modern comforts. The grounds/view are just beautiful and our breakfasts were divine. Stephen and his wife KJ went out of their way to create a dining experience that was more than just good food. The dining room and table settings were fitting for this grand old home and along with our relaxed conversation with the owners, made for a delicious time in more ways than one. We love to stay at B&Bs for the personal touches and homey feel and Stocks Manor gave us just that and more!
