“Almost Heaven (someone had to say it) in West Virginia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2011

Wow. What can I say about this place? We tried to stay at the house that The Ledge has because they accept dogs there but it was booked. However they recommended we call Camp Hill because she said they would take dogs also. I am so glad that the other place was booked!

The carriage suite is a nice place to stay...unlike most B&B's and certainly most hotel rooms, it is decorated to the hilt. I'd say the decor is a cross between Calico Corners and Colonial with a touch of Frank Lloyd Wright, which may not be everyone's cup of tea and yet I liked it just because there was so much to look at...teddy bears, Civil War memorabilia/photos, a train I didn't even notice until I printed my pictures, twinkling lamps everywhere, comforters, flags, florals, multicoloured glass bottles in the windows that picked up the morning sun. When we arrived there was even a wax potpourri burning to welcome us. As there is a bedroom and a kitchenette there are all the things necessary to make an extended stay - ironing board, microwave, stove, fridge, coffeemaker, teapot, pots and pans, Franciscan English china, oven mitts, etc. Coffee, creamers, teas, sugar, salts and peppers provided. Also, a hair dryer (I lugged mine, so that would've been good to know). Color high def t.v. with cable. Good mattress. Ultra-soft bath towels and plenty of them, even the toilet paper was noticeably softer than my brand! Everything was so clean I was amazed, as I can't keep my knickknacks that dust-free at home. Double windows overlook side street, backyard, church steeple and Blue Ridge Mountains. Very quiet. Only sounds distant train whistle and birds singing.

The food? Breakfasts are great, and there is plenty to chow down on. We tried the chipped beef, the omelette and the waffles (if we'd been one more day we would've tried the pancakes, surely!). everything was wonderful. Tony brings it at your desired time on a big tray on a heated platter. Bowl of fresh fruit (kiwi, orange, berries, cherries etc.) with granola and coconut daily, and small bottle of OJ. Bacon I will dream about.

Whirlpool tub is nice. I noted some of the hot water comments here. The only trouble is if you are trying to wash dishes (as I was) while someone is in shower/tub, or if you try to fill tub up twice for two baths one right after the other.

I noticed a couple of board games, sidewalk chalk in a kitchen drawer, and there are playing cards. Also, books and magazines.

I could have stayed at the Comfort Inn down the hill, or the Quality Inn out of town, and had the dogs. I would have had to pay extra for the dogs, probably per diem, which would have ended up costing the same or more, and not had the ambience, the space, the amenities or the good cooking. All I didn't get were a little bottle of shampoo and maid service every day (which I prefer not to have on an extended visit when I decided to cook, etc.)

I can't recommend this place highly enough.

“Perfect place to relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

My husband and I were here for two nights. We stayed in the carriage house that included one bedroom, loft, living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The place is private, cozy, clean, and very cutely decorated. The owner is very friendly, and knows how to cook. We had omelets the first morning, and chipped beef the second day. There is a jacuzzi bathtub, on demand cable TV, outside garden area with pond. The location is perfect because it's about 5 a minute drive to Harper's Ferry National Park. I can't wait to stay here again.

“Perfect, private, cozy retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2009

My husband and I just returned from a weekend stay in Harpers Ferry at the Camp Hill B&B. First off, the location is perfect, in Upper Town, which means its quiet quiet quiet. Perfect for walking our dogs all around the picturesque neighborhood, any time day or night. During the night, we could hear the train's whistle calling from the town below, we thought, "how perfect?" . We were even more grateful in the morning during a historic tour with "O" BE Joyful when we learned other tourists had stayed in Lower Town and had been awakened all night long to the train's "perfect" whistle reverberating off the two cliff sides that surround town. The Inn consists of a carriage house apartment that was perfect size and amenities for the two of us and our two large dogs. Mr. Tony was offbeat but so friendly and willing to have a comfortable conversation about just about anything. His blueberry Belgian waffles were perfect, bacon excellent! And I totally loved Blossom, you are such a sweetie pie! Our dogs were enchanted with the french doors that were screened/gated off overlooking the side street we were on, giving them hours of squirrel watching entertainment. Mr Tony and his wife, Ms. Cheri, made us feel warmly welcomed. We really loved staying here, and when we return to HF we'll be staying here again. Something as a side note: during the warmer months gnats are a strong nuisance all around town, wear a hat & sunglasses and keep a brochure handy to waive them off. And I highly recommend Camp HIll to anyone traveling with polite dogs, this is a dog-friendly town!

“Beware the bait and switch”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2008

I'll end this well but feel I should start with the warning. The Camp Hill website describes it's suite and gives a price and it is probably what they say it is IF you get the suite on the website. Not listed on the website or even on the brouchure in the room is the second room that has been added on. It is below the main suite but half the size. No living room, no loft, no whirlpool tub (shower only), no view... I think you get the idea. Here's the kicker, I was charged the same price as the suite upstairs as I agreed to the price on the phone not knowing there was a small second room. My wife and I were very dissapointed.
That out of the way, the room was very clean, everything worked, breakfast was good, and the location was OK.
