    A great stay at a beautifully-restored Victorian in a historic setting with formidable hosts!

    My stay at Barrister's was one of the best B&B experiences. The weekend I went was a difficult one for me, personally, and being greeted at the door and welcomed in, I immediately felt at ease and at home by Ken and Diane. After a long and tiring car drive, it was very much appreciated. My room was so lovely and such a comfort. I loved the story behind the girl the room was named after and how thoughtfully it was decorated. The remodeled bathroom is very tastefully done with modern fixtures and decorative touches. Everything worked great, hot water ran right away and the shower pressure was perfect. The breakfast was made with love by the cooking and baking duo :) and was delicious and varied each day. I also sat on the front porch each morning, which was delightful. I truly had an exceptional stay and would stay here again if I visited the Finger Lakes.

Location was within walking distance of museums and local restaurants. Very friendly small town on scenic lake.

    The only problem with other B&B’s we stayed at is no way to get our heavy luggage up. Barristers was the only place that offered to help us So nothing here we didn’t like. Wished we didn’t live so faraway

    The house was beautiful. When we arrived we were made to feel very welcomed in there home. Our room was Grandmothers. It had family pictures on the dresser, doilies on wooden furniture. The king bed even had a bread spread ! Bed was very comfortable. Air conditioning and heat. Even a fireplace in our room. We only got to have one breakfast there. It was delicious. A couple from Denmark asked if this was a tradition breakfast here. It certainly wasn’t we explained In the morning we had to leave at four a.m. She had homemade muffins and coffee with travel cups waiting for us

    Our room was very nice but the bed was not a true queen. Bathroom was quite big but actually room with bed was small- just letting people know. ( It was fine for our 2 day stay) We stayed in Grace Yawger room

    Breakfast was awesome! Everyone was friendly, owners Diane and Ken and the other guest! Very helpful with ideas and places to eat and go. Liked that we could walk to town for dinner. very cool house!

    Seneca Falls itself does not have much to do - it's a 5-10 minute walk, which is nice, but only has a few restaurants and not much else, meaning that we found ourselves driving for mostly everything.

    Breakfast was terrific - very large and very filling, tasty too. The accommodations were comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and helpful with recommendations.

    I did find the set breakfast quite a challenge. It was all beautiful and home cooked- but I don’t eat much breakfast and try to keep the calories down - it was hard to turn the fish down without feeling rude.

    Friendly welcome from considerate hosts. Our room was lovely and within easy reach of town and local attractions.

    Nothing.

    We just loved our experience at Barrister's. We had a large well decorated room in a charming area. Very clean and quiet. The B&B is close to good restaurants (owners recommanded 84Fall which was exquisite). Ken and Diane just greet everyone as if you were family. They make sure you have everything you need. You feel at home. Ken is the creative breakfast Chef using mostly local quality products (he comments on origins of ingredients) with imagination. He should consider participating to Masterchef. Diane completes Ken perfectly as she serves us with a smiling professional touch. She makes sure every one is well taken care of and ponctuates the breakfast with interesting anecdotes. The two are very generous of their time and kind. This place is not just a B&B, it is a rich human and gastronomical experience. Thank you very much Diane and Ken !!

    The room could have been a little bigger (but some other rooms in the b&b are bigger) but it was comfortable and absolutely fine for two people. Otherwise, no complaints. We really enjoyed our stay and the historical yet familiar touch of the house.

    The b&b is an oasis in the middle of the Finger lakes! You hear birds singing in the morning, the hosts treat you like family, and the house is nicely furnished to reflect the 19th century style yet it also offers modern amenities such as a clean and renovated shower. It’s situated in a row of Victorian houses in a quaint village that’s the birthplace of women’s rights. We had a little hiccup with our car unrelated to the stay and the hosts went out of their way to help us. Definitely recommend!
