Highlawn Inn

I had a fantastic time in this small town b&b. The woman running the front was very friendly and made me feel right at home for my delicious breakfast. My room was actually in use so they upgraded me to the parlor room at no extra cost. The hot tub was a nice little bonus. The town is great and the people are more than friendly. I do think the mineral water made me feel healthier, all in my mind I'm sure but the natural springs are pretty cool. The inn cats are a nice touch too, if you're a cat person. Overall I had a really nice, relaxing weekend and I will be coming back again.

I couldn't recommend this place and this region more for a quiet and refreshing escape. Sandi is an exceptionally great cook and the breakfasts were delicious with a well rounded mix of eggs, meat, fruit, yogurt, pastry, and coffee and juice. We had the privilege of staying at an odd time and having personal breakfasts for 3 days during our stay. (be aware that this resort town's restaurants tend to be closed Mon. through Wed. or Thurs.) The room was clean, a perfect mix of private and close at hand for breakfast. Sandi was kind enough to have a fire for us during one night so we could take full advantage of the romance and beauty of this old and well decorated home that is meant for sharing with guests. If there is any spirit stuck about this place it surely took the form of the cats that were fat and friendly. I'll not forget the sight and sound of the cat NV as he chased a squirrel across the parking lot while kicking up gravel and demonstrating all the feline grace and agility of a small freight train.

We loved the area. The spas were fantastic and the recommendations we were given panned out perfectly. There are incredible historic sites (like Antietam) within a reasonable drive and the Atasia Spa was well recommended.

My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves here! We stayed in the Victoria room. The bath in the claw tub was so relaxing. Breakfast from Heather was absolutely delicious! She made our stay very enjoyable. The room was cozy. We'll definitely come back again. Thank you for the great experience!

Best B&B in town. Prices are very reasonable, and include a fantastic home-cooked breakfast. The Victorian Suite was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had a private entrance and porch for sitting and enjoying their complementary coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Sandy and the other young ladies made our stay beyond comfortable. Best part- the kitties! I felt right at home. Can't wait to go back for one of the special Wine Tastings/Dinners. Don't waste your time or money or money anywhere else....

Revisited in 08/20. Stayed in Lovers Loft... was clean and very cozy. Heather called the morning of to confirm our reservation and to ask what special preferences/accommodations we had. Even made us a reservation for dinner in town. Breakfast was OUTSTANDING! And the company of the kitties is always nice. Will return.

Highlawn Inn is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. They truly know how to take care of their guests, all you need to do is ask for something and they are at the ready. The attention to detail in the service they provide for their guest's is excellent! Each morning we were treated to a lovely breakfast that arrives on time and is appealing to both the eye and the palette! Thank you Heather! If you are lucky enough to stay on a Saturday morning you will get a history lesson from the owner, Laura! Laura is also very attentive to your needs as you relax and unwind. My husband and I stayed in the Algernon room. I highly recommend this room as it has a whirlpool tub. We felt at home here and look forward to going back to Highlawn Inn!

I’d really make it a 2.5 star rating if I could. I’m going to be honest here:
Pros:
We used the spring fling package which gave us a $100 towards a wonderful restaurant and $100 for the amazing spa.
The staff are absolutely wonderful, so kind and accommodating.
Lots of friendly rescue kitties and even had a donation jar to help rescue cats.
Loved the style of the big house, lots of character.
Breakfast was good and included.
We liked the style of our room, it smelled like my grandmothers(like and old house) which I did enjoy.
This location was within walking distance of everything the town had to offer.
Cons:
Our room; The Garden room
The bed was absolutely horrible, uncomfortable and the pillows were flat and uncomfortable. We did not sleep.
The private porch was nice but dirty, cobwebs, dirt and dead bugs all over it which is a shame because it would have been nice to spend time out there. There were also two bed pillows just sitting on the porch which looked dirty, like they had been rained on and sat outside for a long time.
The towels were hard and scratchy.
The water to the shower smelt terrible, like rotten eggs.
We hated the doll collection on the shelf, kind of creepy.
Really wish there had been a small fridge because we were wanting to keep leftovers from the amazing restaurants.
The windows were sealed shut, like painted over.

I really really wanted to enjoy the room and leave a outstanding review but unfortunately if we ever visited the town again we’d go elsewhere.

My partner and I spent a weekend in the lover's loft to celebrate an anniversary, and had a wonderful time. Heather was a truly incredible hostess and chef - she ensured we had everything we needed, down to the smallest details, such as leaving us wine glasses and bottle opener in our rooms, thoughtful handwritten notes welcoming us to the inn, and being flexible with our breakfast times within her limits. Moreover, we deeply enjoyed speaking with her, which, in my opinion, is one of the most important draws to a BnB. The cats were also darling. While I am allergic, I was not bothered either while spending time in the main rooms or our bedroom. The room itself was cozy and fun, excellent temperature control, cozy lighting and seating. We had opted for the Summer in the Springs package, which includes a partnership with Atasia Spa and Tari's Diner, both of which also did not disappoint. While the labor shortage seems to be hitting Berkely Springs hard, I was truly amazed by the quality care and service we received from Heather while staying in the inn. So much personality in this town, and beautifully exemplified in the Highlawn Inn. We will be back!!

Beautiful Victorian house with many bedrooms. They make a large breakfast for you in the morning. Be advised that there are cats running around the property. So if you're allergic to cats you don't want to stay here.
