We were there for just two nights. The room was very comfortable and clean. Having drink & wine glasses in the room versus plastic cups was much appreciated. The food was delicious.

The hosts, Diane and Ken were the best. Very accommodating and helpful,making our stay really feel like home away from home. They take pride in their home and serve gourmet breakfasts. Knowledgeable about the local history and easily able to recommend local activities. Would very much recommend Barrister's Bed and Breakfast to anyone interested in the Seneca Falls area.

We had a lovely stay at the Barrister’s Bed and Breakfast. The rooms are clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Diane was very welcoming and full of suggestions on what to do and see in the area. We were very impressed with the delicious sit-down breakfast that was served each morning at nine. Ken makes a spectacular veggie frittata. I especially enjoyed Diane‘s tender ricotta cakes and poached stuffed pears. We hope to come back in the new year.

We have stayed in a lot of B&Bs through the years. This one may just be the best we've ever experienced. Ken and Diane were so helpful for letting us know about the area and places to visit. And the food! Oh my. Both hosts are excellent chefs. They cared so much for their guests that they made special dishes to accomodate each of our allergies. No easy task. Our room was so clean and the bed was amazing. We sat on the front porch for a while on our second night and watched the people of the town go by. So many amentites were provided without a second thought on the part of the hosts. We felt like we were home with family. You could not find a gourmet restaurant anywhere that could match the food here. Absolutely loved everyting about this place. After 17 years as hosts, these two are beyond super! Highly recommend and will stay again if we visit the area.
