For the last several months my sister, Emily, and I talked about a girls’ getaway over the summer. We considered everywhere from San Diego to Boston, but in the need, determined we would rather save the money on travel and enjoy a nicer stay close to home.

Enter the incredible French Manor Inn and Spa.

Only several hours north of Lancaster, PA this bed and breakfast boasted gourmet food with a view, full spa services including an indoor pool and sauna, hiking on-site, and lovely room accommodations.

At the end I will break down the exact cost and what all was included in our stay. I could not believe how close to an all-inclusive stay this trip was for what I would consider a budget price, especially when split two ways.

Our room had a cheese board and cracker tray when we arrived which hit the spot before dinner. Their accommodations included a budget option like our room with a minifridge (which was still lovely) to suites with kitchenettes overlooking the mountains.

The Food

Let’s talk about their restaurant. The restaurant boasted the most delicious French cuisine, and even though Emily and I got something different every meal there was not a single plate we didn’t like. The above pic is a glimpse of their gorgeous indoor restaurant. Be still my French Country loving heart.

We always ate on their patio for breakfast and dinner. Tuesday night there was a live band playing, and with this view behind them, it was pretty much magical.

They also brought out a “bite of the day” from the chef which was always as enjoyable as the meals themselves.

They served a “palate cleanser” before your main course which was often a sorbet of some kind.

This was their salmon confit, and then I also got the french onion soup with bruleed gruyere on the top, and it was possibly my favorite dish.

Is this not the prettiest sweet treat you’ve ever seen? Their dessert menu changed a little bit each day.

This was an apple torte of sorts. Can we talk about the cute powdered sugar spoon and fork imprint? Everything was so pretty and fancy.

Below is their dinner menu.

Breakfast was equally delicious, and when we realized that the gourmet breakfast was included in our stay we were expecting minimal options, not the full menu you will see below.

The Spa

As part of our package Emily and I each got an 80-minute massage one day and then she chose a 50-minute bamboo massage and I chose a 50-minute facial the next day.

I have had a lot of massages in my life (LOVE massages), and this is the first I’ve ever filled out a custom aromatherapy form. They mixed these essential oils into the massage lotion and diffuser.

“RELAX” is exactly what we did.

I was a little obsessed with their “spa water.” The cucumber, mint, lemon was a refreshing combo.

My blood pressure lives on the low side, so I don’t do well with hot pools or saunas as they make me dizzy and nauseated, but I could see how this indoor heated pool and infrared sauna is a hit with many, especially over the winter months.

Speaking of being dizzy and nauseated. After you get a massage they always tell you not to work out directly afterward and to be sure to drink plenty of water. This is because a good therapeutic massage breaks down muscles as they work out knots and relieve tension. This, in turn, releases lactic acid into the body (a by-product of muscle breakdown) which in order to get “flushed through” the system requires a lot of fluids.

Despite knowing this it hasn’t prevented me from going on a run or a quick 30 minute workout after a massage. However, most of the massages I’ve ever gotten are 50-60 minutes. Not 80 minutes of muscle-pounding pressure such as the one I got here. (it was lovely by the way).

Emily and I wanted to run the trails on the property and chose to do it after the massage. “Trail” was a loose term for the non-descript path of brush and dirt that we ran on, and it happened to be directly downhill. Consequently creating a steep uphill return. I dry heaved twice and let’s just say, I will listen to the experts (myself included) next time.

On the second day when we realized a casual walk would be preferred over an uphill run!

My horse wanted to go a lot faster than Emily’s so I spent most of the ride keeping him reined back, but we were able to trot for a little bit!

Riding a horse could easily become my happy place. Maybe one day.

We opted for the budget room, but in total our 3-night 4-day package was $1521.00. Split two ways, I paid approximately $700+ which included a $300 credit for spa services ($100/ night) and a $150 credit toward their gourmet restaurant and winery ($50/night). In addition to these credits, the price included their complimentary gourmet breakfast 830 – 10a and afternoon snacks from 3-5p.

Emily and I would both give the French Manor Inn 5 stars and have already determined this might need to become an annual tradition. Can you imagine what it would look like in the fall? If you go let me know what you think! Have questions? Feel free to drop them in the comments below!
