we took a ghost tour from there. very informative
Me and my partner have been visiting Farnsworth House for dinner for years, it's been one of out go-to spots.
A couple weeks ago we decided to grab dinner in their outdoor seating area but the food took forever to come out and it came out cold. We left disappointed but figured it was just an off night. Last night we visited their dining room which was our favorite spot and was disappointed all over again. Both of our meals were over cooked and the sweet potato pudding was very dry and bland. Very disappointing.
I had a tour of the basement. The gentleman was very informative and very good host.

If you are a fan of historic places and history, Farnsworth is the perfect place.
The services is great and the rooms are clean, but do look old and worn, which for me I adored the historic aspect and I liked it for its charm for the most part, but do wish the bathtub was refinished.
Our room also had some amazing original art.
Of course this is also supposed to be haunted, and we did hear 3 knocks that when we looked outside couldn't see anyone, but still attribute it to neighbors or people walking by.
Noteworthy details: If you do the ghost tours there, you get a chance to see the cellar and attic of the home.

The beer garden is our typically go to place so we can bring our dog and birds. The service has really been below par lately and they seem to have different prices and the most expensive prices for drinks in town. The food has come out cold the past couple of weekends and it has been too busy to complain. When I did this weekend the bartenders didn't really seem to care.

Great historical inn to stay in while in Gettysburg, close to everything, convenient parking. Just a little confusing to get checked in. Room was clean and suited our needs! Checkout was a breeze

Made a reservation for 6 p.m. on Halloween in the fine dining room but got there and told private party has the dining room. Shuffled to the pub for a much lesser experience ... no comps, free appetizer or drink ... nothing but we could order from the more expensive menu in the cheaper pub atmosphere. Very disappointed. Peanut soup cold, drinks way overpriced. This is the tourist trap from hell and not in a good way. Do not care about customers. Do better Farnsworth Inn when you are at fault. Thanks for ruining our evening. Called manager next day and she obviously could care less.
What a beautiful historical Inn. It was extremely clean and the breakfast was absolutely amazing! Didn’t experience anything paranormal but it was still worth the stay! Restaurant and Beer Garden on site were also amazing. Only negative thing I can say (but I won’t deduct stars for) was the front desk lady was not the most pleasant. You could tell she is definitely going through something personal and I wish her peace.
Nearby activities: Ghost tours and battlefield and shopping
Walkability: Close to so much to do and experience!
Food and drinks: Amazing food and cocktails

Cannot rate the food, rooms or service because we only went for a ghost tour. There were no plant based options to choose from so we wouldn’t be able to eat here anyway.
That tour, however, was great. Lots of history and creepy vibes throughout the building including the basement and attic. Our tour guide was great and we would definitely come back!

Did a ghost tour here on an early Saturday afternoon. Our group guide was Cheryl. She was absolutely amazing! She gave us so much information on both the history of the house as well as who haunts it!
We started in the basement where we learned about the families who owned the home. We worked our way up to the attic where we saw the area where the Confederate sharp shooter shot Jennie Wade.
What I loved seeing were the bullet holes on the side of the outside! Fascinating!
Although we didn't stay or dine here, the home is very quaint with an antique-y vibe.
We had a blast!

I would really love to post zero stars. Never ended up eating there. Called the tavern and was told that it was busy so the wait may be an hour so come early. I went at 4:30 and was told the wait was going to be 45 mins. I’m part of a family of five. We were okay with waiting. After 30 mins I received the called that they could not seat my family at all. The kitchen was too busy. This put us on a terrible position. Every place we went to at 5:15 was over an hour wait and we had reservations for a ghost tour. Thank goodness an Italian restaurant near the square gave us a 10 minute wait so that’s where we ended up. And the Italian food was amazing!!!!! Very disappointed that Sweeneys Tavern put us on the list then told us they couldn’t take us after 30 mins. I will never try to go there ever again.
Great food and ambiance. Friendly staff. Never disappointed when we go here.
