This place is a jewel. The feelings we have for Shining Dawn are ones of gratitude, sweetness, beauty and relaxation. Allow me to start from the beginning.
My husband and I were on vacation and had booked all our stays well in advance. Upon arriving to Shining Dawn and knocking, it was quickly realized that we had made reservations for...

This was my first time at a B&B and I could not believe how wonderful it was.We took a chance and booked the last room that had a bath tub no shower. A giant claw foot tub in our spacious Midsummer's Night Dream Room with a balcony too. And a special effect after you turn out the lights. The home...

Great location if you are going to the Maryland wine festival. The B & B is a historic home and decorated in period. Beautiful stained glass windows. My room was immaculate as was the entire home. Bruce and Helen are gracious hosts and made us feel welcome. Helen's breakfast was absolutely delicious. The town is small & quiet. Not may...

We're happy that you and your friends enjoyed your stay at Shining Dawn in Hanover, PA. With a population of just over 15,000, Hanover definitely has small town culture with many conveniences of Corporate American businesses located in or near the borough. However, we are still able to enjoy unique choices and experiences offered by many locally owned and operated...

Helen and Bruce are delightful hosts.
We opted for "The Phoenix" room, it was very well appointed and oh so comfy and cozy.
We stayed four nights and each morning we were greeted with an exciting and delicious breakfast. Helen is a magician with fruit, her rum and brown sugar grapefruit, the baked apple and hot pear were all so...

The house was completed in 1903 (I asked!), and all the fine detail work has been exceptionally well taken care of, gorgeous common areas much nicer than any hotel, with stained glass windows, antiques and grandfather clocks; Felt like home, actually felt like I was visiting my grandparents' old house, from the old architecture, to the angel statues around. VERY...

This was the first B&B my husband and I have stayed in, and we weren't disappointed! The owners, Helen and Bruce, were the nicest people you could ever meet. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable there. (In fact, the other people staying there said this is the best B&B they have ever been to with the best owners!)...

Proprietors have taken a large and unusual property in the historic district of Hanover, PA and turned it into an exceptionally high quality restoration. Each room has a distinct personality. Large public spaces on the first floor. Lots of stained glass throughout the house. Nice garden. Several rooms have private, garden facing, second floor porches. We enjoyed a walk through...

We really enjoyed meeting you and hosting your visit to the Hanover/Gettysburg/York area. It was a challenging pleasure to convert this large, turn of the century home into our Bed & Breakfast Retreat. The large common areas on the first floor and the gardens are very useful and relaxing for retreat participants as well as our B & B guests....

The Shining Dawn B&B was the nicest one we have stayed at. The home was immaculate with great attention to details. The hosts, Bruce and Helen, were pleasant , entertaining and very helpful. The location was easy to find and close to Gettysburg, approx. 30 mi. of lovely scenery. Breakfast each morning was delicious and the service was excellent. Our...

Bruce and Helen couldn't have been nicer hosts. Breakfasts are superb and very filling. Our room (The Phoenix Room) was clean and just right for us.
We'll be back!
