Welcome To Shearer Elegance Bed & Breakfast

Built in 1897 by Garret E. Brownback, this beautiful salmon-stoned, 22-room Victorian mansion is a pleasant surprise to many visiting the small village of Linfield, PA, located approximately 45 minutes northwest of Philadelphia.

Our mansion style bed and breakfast has 4 bedrooms and 3 suites, all with private baths and each uniquely decorated in vintage Victorian style. Each room has cable television to make your stay even more comfortable.

6 rooms contain beautifully carved, built-in armoires and marble sinks in the Victorian Lifestyle. The mantels as well as the many stained glass windows highlight the true meaning of “Shearer Elegance.”

All of our overnight guests always enjoy a sumptuous, full, country breakfast each morning that is served in the spacious, formal dining room… Perhaps then strolling through the meticulously tended gardens with that first cup of coffee or tea, relaxing by the beautiful fish pond or simply enjoying the exquisite view from the spacious wraparound front porch.
