We were visiting relatives in Orrtanna and decided to stay at the Hickory Bridge Farm Bed and Breakfast. What a beautiful location and such a welcoming staff. We had forgotten why we loved Bed and Breakfasts so much only to be reminded at breakfast with the opportunity to sit with strangers and actually talk over a wonderful meal. The owner and staff of this B&B certainly know what business they are in and they do it well. I would recommend this B&B to anyone in the area or planning on visiting Gettysburg (very close to the B&B). Hickory Bridge Farm Bed and Breakfast is the definition of what a B&B should be.

We recently stayed at the Hickory Bridge Farm B&B on a road trip to visit family members. Our trip had us staying in hotels before we arrived in Orrtanna, PA and we were extremely tired as we got no sleep in these hotels. Thanks to the location, the small brook running through the property and the extremely quite surroundings at the Hickory Bridge Farm B&B, I got the best night of sleep I've had in a long time. We also enjoyed the family style breakfast, all guest setting at the same table getting to know new poeple, sharing experiences and enjoying the excellent food. We sat there long after eating chatting. The owner was on site and talked to us as well as the staff. They made you feel welcomed. I want to go back! I hope this review is both helpful to someone looking for a good B&B and to the owners and staff of the Hickory Ridge Farm B&B. We loved the place!

We spent one night here on a family road trip, from CT to our home in NC, with my teenage son and mother. We stayed in the farm house and our overall experience was good. We stayed upstairs in 2 bedrooms with a shared bathrooom. The innkeeper was not on site, but was very accommodating of our very late arrival and last minute reservation. She left suggestions and directions for dinner as well as wonderful ice tea, cookies and juice in the main hallway. The very reasonable room rate included breakfast.

The upstairs bedrooms were on the warm side, but know that I like it cold when I sleep and I am from the south, where we blast the AC and we were returning from 3 weeks on the coast of CT with wonderful ocean breezes. I called the inn keeper at 9 pm and asked about turning up the AC. The bedrooms upstairs rely on a centrally located thermostat in the breakfast area downstairs. Otherwise, the rooms were quaint, clean and comfortable ( think real farmhouse). My mother enjoyed rising early and walking around the quiet farm as the sun rose. It was very quiet and peaceful...you are really in the Pennsylvania country side

When we realized that breakfast was not served until 8:30 and we wanted to be on the road early, I called the inn keeper at 7 am and asked if we could have a quick breakfast earlier...she rushed right over and whipped up a wonderful breakfast on a moment's notice. Needless to say, we were very impressed. She also gave us travel advice on the "back way" into the Gettysburg Memorial Park bypassing the visitor center. We enjoyed seeing the monuments as the sun rose and the fog cleared. This excursion was not planned and made possible solely because of the innkeeper's advice. This is now a treasured memory with my mother, age 78, who had never visited Gettysburg National Park.

we have been going to the resturaunt for years and my son was engaged and we were shopping around for a place to have it ,when low and behold this magical place appeared and it was called Hickory Bridge Farms. They were the most outstanding folks to work with and as you might remember July 23,2011 broke heat records and sarah and bert when way beyond to make sure everyone was as comfortable as they could .Not a detailed was overlooked they pampered our every need .The dinner was talked about for days following and many of our guests called to ask "what was the name of that place " we have never had food like that before accept maybe when grandma was cooking. there is not enough good things that can be said to properly describe everything but if we were to do it again it would be with the folks of Hickory Bridge Farm
PS: To the fathers of future brides this place by far is VERY reasonable for the top hat service provided . You wont be sorry , We will post pictures soon for future weddingsto see how great it was
