We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn for our recent trip to the Finger Lakes. Both Diane and Ken were wonderful hosts. Inn was beautiful and the breakfasts were divine. We would definitely recommend the Inn. Hope to be back real soon.

A beautiful home, well restored and nicely decorated. A warm and friendly couple operate this charming B&B. We felt like we were visiting extended family. They went out of their way to offer suggestions and coupons for our outings. The breakfasts were scrumptious, wonderful meals prepared with fresh foods. The owners are very willing to accommodate special dietary needs.

From the moment I entered the driveway, to the porch and then into the entryway, I was delighted! The innkeepers greeted me and gave me a tour of the house! Every room beautifully decorated with lots of history. My room was beautiful, comfortable, private, and yet airy with a lovely view. The dining room is beautiful and food delicious. Ken and Dianne went the extra mile to do whatever they could to make my stay feel like "coming home"....I enjoyed sipping my coffee and juices out on the beautiful porch and watching the plants and flowers blooming right before my eyes. I will return many times! J. Brocato

My wife and I spent the weekend in Seneca Falls for the annual "It's a Wonderful Life" Weekend, and we wanted to stay in a Victorian-style home like George and Mary Bailey lived in. Ken and Diane were the most gracious, friendly, and accommodating hosts that one could possibly want. We were the first guests to arrive, so Ken took us on a tour of the house and showed us all the bedrooms and told stories about the house and its previous occupants. My wife and I stayed in Erin's Retreat and we highly recommend this bedroom with it's own separate sitting room. We enjoyed having our own private "retreat" with its own fireplace and flat-panel TV. Ken's gourmet breakfasts were nothing short of fabulous. On Saturday, my wife and I came back to warm up and rest after several hours at the festival. Ken and Diane had "It's a Wonderful Life" all cued up in the DVD player in the parlor for us to watch. Diane even made us some hot cider and brought us some homemade cookies. We have never felt so special. As we were driving away my wife and I agreed that the weekend would not have been the same had we not stayed at Barrister's. Ken and Diane have certainly set the standard for Bed & Breakfasts for us.

To celebrate 50 yrs of friendship the 4 of us were looking for a great place to holiday and remenisce. We found that place at Barrister's. My husband and I had not stayed in a bed and breakfast before but our experience with Ken and Diane sold us on future stays especially at their B&B. Our hosts were so friendly and went out of their way time and time again to make certain that every moment was a happy one. We love antiques, so needless to say from the moment we arrived until we left, we were enamoured with our surroundings right down to the lovely breakfast dishes. Thank you Ken and Diane for the fantastic breakfasts and to your daughter for her baking. As noted we were celebrating our 50 years of friendship and they paid tribute by having a cake left in our room when we returned from our first supper in downtown Seneca Falls(Tony B's is a must). Ken and Diane are more than ready to suggest nearby points of interest and great places to eat as well as to provide the accompanying brochures, maps and reservations if necessary. Great conversation,outstanding accomodations,yummy breakfasts, laughter and a homey feel left these two first-time B&Bers wanting more stays with Ken and Diane. We cannot fathom any other place that would have met and exceeded our expectations..A Must To Enjoy More Than Once. The Jamiesons London Ontario, Canada

Ken and Diane were beyond gracious--from the moment Ken opened the door and greeted us by name, they treated us like dear friends and went above and beyond in so many ways. The breakfasts are a foodie's dream--beautiful, delicious food made from fresh, local fruits and veggies. Room was lovely. Ken and Diane are perfect hosts--always ready with a dinner suggestion or directions to a nearby winery, full of great stories, and just really nice folks. Highly recommend.

Things highly noted: - Very flexible with room reservation & switching according to preference - Extremely clean and comfortable rooms - Quick to provide help, tips, advice, or directions for places that we inquired about - Ken & Diane are willing to turn away disruptive potential guests to make sure that all other guests had peaceful nights' sleeps - Breakfasts are very filling, warm, and delicious Things that can be improved: - Would like more pastries to be made from homegrown recipes versus premixed (Note: Bias coming from a pastry lover) - Would have loved more fresh & local fruits for breakfast in addition to all the other delicious dishes served

Last weekend my husband and I went to the area of Seneyca Falls for a winetasting day trip. Our plan never included an overnight visit. But, after a snow storm we were forced to take refuge. We went around to a few other inn's and were not impressed. But, once we came in contact with Ken and Diane we knew that we found our place. The innkeepers were so warm and welcome. They took us in and gave us their last room. While my husband and I had setteled in, Diane had made us some tea and brought up some banana bread. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was amazing. In addition to a wonderful welcome we had a great night of sleep and an even better breakfast. Ken is some cook. We had his stuffed french toast among other goodies. All in all our trip may of not been planned but it turned out to be quite a memorible moment. Jennifer Lee
