    Thoroughly Enjoyable

    April 29, 2013

    We stayed in the Oliver Phelps suite for two nights mid-week on our way back from Niagara Falls. The room was very large and suitably decorated in period style. The king bed was comfortable and the large bathroom was an unexpected treat. The breakfasts served by Lynne and Bill were absolutely delicious and were great beginnings to our days of local wine and beer tasting adventures. Lynne also makes darn good cookies for afternoon/evening snacks. The location was an easy walk to town where Bill and Lynne recommended several good restaurants for us to try for dinner. It was a very lovely stay in Canandaigua and we wouldn't hesitate to return or to recommend it to anyone.

    My First Stay at a B&B.

    April 24, 2013

    To try a first time stay at a bed and breakfast is not easy for a single traveler. In my search, certain things appealed. The Bed and Breakfast at Oliver Phelps seemed they would cater to my needs. I loved the look of the inn, with it's high ceilings, many fireplaces, warm, comfortable rooms. BBOP delivered on all my expectations and Lynne and Bill, although having just taken over, were the epitome of accommodating. So many details, all taken care of warmly, with such obvious care for me as their guest. They have certainly set the bar for excellence.

    Celebrating our sister's 60th birthday, we booked three rooms and truly felt at home - with special touches. Bill & Lynne were very welcoming and gracious, their home is lovely and we look forward to staying again! We enjoyed some sunshine sitting in the gazebo, enjoying the atmosphere of Canandaigua.

    Delightful stay!

    April 10, 2013

    We were in town for a class at the New York Wine and Culinary Center and decided to find a place to stay the evening. Lynne and Bill were incredible hosts and truly made us feel welcomed and catered to. They were incredibly helpful setting up a dairy-free menu for the weekend and even shared their delicious recipes! We can't wait for our next visit to Canandaigua so we can stay at Oliver Phelps again.

    Wonderful even in Winter

    December 31, 2012

    The house is gorgeous, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and breakfast was among the most delicious we've had in 30 years of B&B stays! It was an easy walk into town for good restaurants, antiquing,, and Sonnenberg Gardens. Donna and Jack were excellent hosts! We'll be back.

    Canandaigua was part of our week-long tour of the Finger Lakes for our honeymoon...and we we thrilled to have discovered this B&B. Of course, all of the reviews speak for itself...we certainly will add to the stellar line of EXCELLENT reviews! Jack & Donna we so very hospitable, made us feel so welcome, and are a pluthera of knowledge of the area and things to do. The rooms and the home were immaculate (not to mention gorgeous). Breakfasts were 5-star! If planning a stay in Canandaigua, this place is a must! We will certainly stay there again in the future.
