“We have to go back.”
We just loved our experience at Barrister's. We had a large well decorated room in a charming area. Very clean and quiet. The B&B is close to good restaurants (owners recommanded 84Fall which was exquisite). Ken and Diane just greet everyone as if you were family. They make sure you have everything you need. You feel at home. Ken is the creative breakfast Chef using mostly local quality products (he comments on origins of ingredients) with imagination. He should consider participating to Masterchef. Diane completes Ken perfectly as she serves us with a smiling professional touch. She makes sure every one is well taken care of and ponctuates the breakfast with interesting anecdotes. The two are very generous of their time and kind. This place is not just a B&B, it is a rich human and gastronomical experience. Thank you very much Diane and Ken !!

“The stay at Barrister exceeded our expectations! An oasis with great hosts.”
The b&b is an oasis in the middle of the Finger lakes! You hear birds singing in the morning, the hosts treat you like family, and the house is nicely furnished to reflect the 19th century style yet it also offers modern amenities such as a clean and renovated shower. It’s situated in a row of Victorian houses in a quaint village that’s the birthplace of women’s rights. We had a little hiccup with our car unrelated to the stay and the hosts went out of their way to help us. Definitely recommend!

Ken and Diane are exceptional. Warm, inviting and knowledgeable. A unique and hearty breakfast each day. The house is lovely, well maintained and clean. Seneca Falls is a great location to explore Cayuga and Seneca lakes from. And the bed was comfortable, too!
