    A Perfect Experience

    June 13, 2012

    I found the White Oak B&B on website - proved to be a good choice. Close to Genesee Country Village where we had reservations for a special event evening. Arriving early in the afternoon, we had time to freshen up and walk through the Victorian home's well-kept gardens. We had a great night's rest and awakened to the aroma of "breakfast" cooking. The delicious meal was enjoyed in the multi-windowed dining room which offered a beautiful view of the lawns. We'll be back!

    A sense of history

    October 31, 2011

    Barbara was as charming and genteel as her elegant town house and made us very welcome. We had the Garden Room which was furnished tastefully with antique furniture...what a magnificent wooden bedhead! The room and en suite were clean and comfortable and breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. Barbara gave us information and ideas for visits in the area and was a very lovely host. We really enjoyed our brief stay here and would happily stay again.

    Lovely Historic B&B

    August 20, 2011

    Lovely historic home with beautifull furnishings. Barbara is a wonderfull hostess, knowledgable about the area. She also has a wonderfull collection of hand made items by herself that make great gifts for friends and even for yourself. We so enjoyed our stay at White Oak that we will drop in again when we are in the area. A great thing about at White Oak is that we were accepted for a one night stay. Many B&B's do not offer that option and that is where Barbara is great in catering to those travelers who are passing thru to a final destination where one night only is needed in their journey. To Barbara my wife and I say THANKS!!!!!!!!!!! We will be back when we travel thru again down the road. Tom & Carol Krol Easthampton, MA

    Homey feel

    February 16, 2011

    This B&B is like going into your favorite grandma's home. It is warm and cozy. The innkeeper greets you with a smile and gently brings you to your room after a brief, but pleasant conversation. The breakfast is served in a large dining room with big picture windows on two sides. You are not rushed to finish either. It is a complete breakfast, not a continental one. Intend to use again if I am up that way again.

    Tremendous Value

    December 23, 2010

    This is a great B&B. The innkeeper, Barbara Herman, provides superior service but is not overly intrusive. The room we stayed in, the Garden Room, was beautifully furnished, roomy and comfortable and a terrific value. The house overall is very elegant. It's close to Letchworth State Park where we did a great winter hike above the canyon. We'd also recommend Yard of Ale, a nice dinner spot that is 15 minutes away.

    A welcoming place to stay!

    September 26, 2010

    Besides the loveliness of this bed and breakfast, the welcoming atmosphere is what will bring you back. We felt as if we had known Barbara before and were returning to visit a good friend. Her breakfasts were delicious, and she made sure we were introduced to the other guests as soon as we walked into the dining room. The breakfast room looks out through rows of windows and a lovely view! The White Oak Bed and Breakfast is an affordable and beautiful place to stay.
