Gourmet Breakfast at Our Lancaster County Bed & Breakfast

A full gourmet breakfast is included with every stay at E.J. Bowman House. It's cooked from scratch each morning with ingredients from Lancaster County and served at 9:00 a.m. at our handcrafted Shaker table in the grand dining room, the heart of the house. The main dish changes daily, so guests staying several nights enjoy a different breakfast each morning.
