Bittersweet Inn stay
Wonderful bed and breakfast. Would definitely stay there again. Very clean rooms but quite small and cozy. Owners couldn’t have been nicer.

This was our first experience at a B&B and it did not disappoint! Victor and Ray were great hosts and you can tell they love what they do. Location is amazing, convenient and walkable. Highly recommend and will stay again.

Victor and Ray were awesome hosts!! The breakfast was delicious, they helped with all needs... They were quick to offer a hose to help wash a wound off outside, they were a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area (including great places to eat!). A great great GREAT place to stay, what a wonderful experience! We travel all the time, but not normally to the same place. However should we ever come back to the York area, well be staying here! Thank you Victor and Ray, your hospitality was wonderful!

This property was just perfect. It's a lovely B&B, with the sweetest hosts, Victor and Ray. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, they were there to make our stay perfect. We loved sitting on the porch having our coffee and/or cocktails. Great little lobster roll joint right across the street. The breakfast they made was wonderful, especially the blueberry muffins. Would highly recommend and will certain stay here again if/when we return to this area. Convenient to all surrounding areas. Thank you Bittersweet!

Everything was clean and in working order. Not only the house, but the grounds are meticulously cared for. The owners are kind, helpful, knowledgeable about the area - available, but not too much. The one (very) small thing I would have appreciated is a sink in the same room as the toilet and shower.

Victor and Ray have a spotless, beautiful place. The grounds are kept up nicely! The room was very comfortable - had both a ceiling fan and air conditioner. The breakfast was very good with coffee or tea, juice, homemade muffins every morning, fruit, yogurt, eggs, and bacon - plenty to get you going in the morning! Our stay was fantastic!

Best place to stay in York!
Ray and Victor are perfect hosts. Everything is very clean and they take extra care to ensure their guests are taken care of. The best blueberry muffins were made every day...so delicious! I loved my room and private bathroom and the furnishings were very charming. All of my friends stayed at a hotel about four miles away and I am so happy I chose this quiet and peaceful B&B. It was walking distance to York Village and a little local market across the street. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
