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.

When coming to the Finger Lakes, Barrister's is the place to be. Convenience to the wineries and breweries is the number one advantage. I can't say enough about Ken and Diane's hospitality. They are so meticulous about every detail with this property. And if the charm of this Victorian home wasn't enough, the breakfast cooked by Ken will blow you away. I have NEVER had such gourmet breakfasts anywhere in the U.S. or Europe! I will definitely return to Barrister's on my next trip to the Finger Lakes.

Amazing breakfast!!

Had a wonderful experience at the Barrister B&B! Our innkeepers were wonderful and full of knowledge. The breakfast was unbelievable! Our first day the breakfast consisted of homemade banana nut bread, pears cooked with local wine, berries and yogurt, chicken sausage, panko crusted asparagus, and quiche with local cheese and spinach. Sooo yummy! Diane pays attention to what you like and makes sure it's ready for you when you come downstairs. After day one she remembered that I love coffee but my husband prefers chai tea. They would be waiting for us when we descended the stairs! Another thing I loved was coming back after a day of wine tasting to a cup of tea and cookie of my choosing. So much better than any hotel experience I could have imagined! I highly recommend them and will be returning!!

We recently spent two days at the Barrister Inn...a previous home of several generations of Seneca Lake lawyers. Ken and Diane are gracious hosts, and share their genuine love of the area. They know it inside and out, and are very involved in community activities that keep Seneca Lake thriving. They provided great maps and suggested itineraries based on our interests, and offered many coupons for Finger Lake winery wine tastings, which were greatly appreciated. Breakfast, made by Ken, is outstanding...a three-course affair of scrumptious food, beautifully presented. The home is old but lovingly restored and cared for. It is a real treat to stay here!

My wife and I picked this Barristers en route to Vermont. It is a beautiful old building that has been meticulously restored. The stained glass is all original as is the wood work. It is bright and airy and the floors that comforting creaking sound that gives it a lot of character.



We stayed in the Yellow Rose room. It was fantastic! The bed was super comfortable and loaded with pillows. I had a great nights sleep! The coolest part was the yellow tiled bathroom. It was awesome and I wish I would have taken a picture to post.



Breakfast was unbelievable! I'm not talking your standard scrambled eggs in a chaffing dish. This was 3 courses of gourmet deliciousness! It seems that Ken's no stranger in the kitchen. They were he and Dianne's original creations. Great breakfast and good company. What a treat.



All in all this place is a great B and B in and of it self. The real reasons to stay here are Dianne and Ken. They are the reason the the Barristers is what it is! Other people have stated this and now it's my turn. As soon as we were greeted by Dianne we knew we were in for a real treat. She really does make you feel like family and she loves owning the Barristers and meeting new people. That's the reason it's so cool.



As we were leaving I yelled bye mom and Dianne came out of the kitchen to give my wife and I a huge hug and a safe farewell....... I felt like I was leaving home. Thank you Dianne and Ken!

Ideal

Having never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before we choose the Barrister's B&B based on it's location. We were touring and tasting the wines of the local vineyards and wanted to shop at the Waterloo Outlets. I loved everything about our trip but our stay at the Barrister's was more than we expected.

With a bit of history, ZuZu, the little girl from It's a Wonderful Life stays at the Barrister. All grown up, the Yellow Rose room where we slept is her room when she visits too. With that said, she has great taste, the room is beyond perfection, as is the entire house. I would say it was just like home but I can honestly say no one has ever prepared such a wonderful multi course breakfast for us the way that Ken did. Diane is extremely gracious and attentive with all of the guests. Both were even willing to part with favorite recipes.

I highly recommend the Barrister's Bed and Breakfast to anyone looking for a place to stay around the Finger Lakes.

Back inTime to Bedford Falls

Diane and Ken run a delightful Bed and Breakfast in Seneca Falls, where parts of 'It's a Wonderful Life' were filmed in1946.



From the superb breakfasts prepared by Ken, to Diane's helpful suggestions for touring the area. She has coupons for wine-tastings, beer tastings, cheese tastings and lots of information on the natural and historical attractions in the area.



We stayed in 'Grandmother's Room', which included a King size bed and a Jacuzzi tub, a welcome respite after an simply exhuasting day of wine-tastings and walking.



At breakfast, we met a Canadian couple who had emigrated from Liverpool having lived there during the Beatle years. Fascinating conversation among two couples in their 60's.



If you want a change from cookie tourist cutter hotels, this place is for you.

Great find

Barrister's was a warm and welcoming stop on my trip. The hosts treated me like family and accomodated my dietary restrictions with a delicious breakfast. My room was immaculate and quiet.

Escape to a wonderful life!

We spent two nights with Ken and Diane in their beautiful mansion. Our room was perfect. And, the only thing you need to bring extra is a bigger appetite. Ken makes a three course breakfast and everything is superb! Fine dining in the morning!

Our day was planned with Diane's help. The area is perfect for keeping busy or just relaxing.

Beautiful home with wonderful people

Barrister's Bed and Breakfast defines what a b&b should entail. It isn't just another big, beautiful, antique house, but rather a place you can call home for the weekend. Ken and Diane go above and beyond to accommodate your needs and surpass your expectations. If you're visiting the area, Barrister's is the ONLY place to stay!!

Good place, Good food, Good wine, and Great Hosts A

Diane & Ken are wonderful hosts ( the best). Diane knows every thing and place to see in the area. I was at a lose as to which wineries and sites to visit in the little time we had. After a brief conversation with Diane we decided on several and Diane actually put an itinerary, area map and the various coupon offers together for us. Between the BARRISTER BUCKS and special offer COUPONS ( Barristers have set up offers with wineries, restaurants and attractions all around the finger lakes area for exclusive use by their guests) we saved at least $50 in one day. Ken's breakfasts are wonderful. Ken & Diane were genuinely concerned about every aspect of our stay and in one and one half days we consider them friends. We will return in the spring.
