    Late night arrival wasn't a problem. They were waiting for us. House is amazing. Food was delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer to have enjoyed other amenities.

    My husband and I stayed at Oliver Phelps on the return leg of a recent trip to the Boston area. It was our first B&B experience so we weren't really sure exactly what to expect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Located a short walk from the cute downtown area and a short drive from several of the finger lakes winery tours, the location was ideal for us. We like the quiet charm of the city with the proximity to the more bustling areas on the larger lakes. The B&B itself was very nice - one of my concerns was that the decor and hospitality might be target to an older demographic, but Oliver Phelps accomplished a nice midpoint - the home was an attractive historical home with more up to date touches. The food was phenomenal - not your average scrambled eggs and toast - we enjoyed 3-course breakfasts comprised of local fare and fresh ingredients. As first timers to the area, the hosts provided a nice rundown of the area attractions and recommended a couple of the wineries which were all on par with our expectations. We will definitely be returning.


    A great B&B in Canandaigua

    We recently stayed at Oliver Phelps B&B and we were extremely happy with the service, the B&B and room. The hosts were extremely helpful and accomodating. Breakfast was done nicely. We recommend Oliver Phelps highly

    We stayed in the Oliver Phelps room and it was very, very liveable and lovely. It is maybe the largest room we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in many, many bed and breakfasts, and it definitely has the largest bathroom, but the best features were the many windows and the two chairs facing the fireplace. While it was too warm for the fireplace, the ambiance was terrific and we want to include the same feature in a future home. Jack and Donna are exceptionally nice and prepare a gourmet breakfast each morning. Tables are private but if there are chatty guests there, it can take away from the "privacy," but that is a fine price to pay for such good food and service. The only negatives for us were our most beautiful room was warmer than we would have prefered (they were having an Indian summer and we were seeking the cool of a New York fall) and it was on the main street which is a busy one. That being said though, we would stay there again and in the same room.

    Jack and Donna are great hosts and operate a first class B&B. The facility is beautiful and in an excellent location, easy to find. The service was Top Notch and the breakfast was a great start after a quick morning run. We would suggest the Oliver Phelps to anyone traveling through the Finger Lakes.
