Everything was nice. The room could have used some darkeners so the morning light won't disturb the occupants' sleep.

Property and staff were excellent. Brian, David and Dom were awesome hosts. Great welcome and conversations during our daily breakfast, which by the way, were fabulous. Rooms were very clean with all the amenities needed. We stayed 3 nights over the weekend and met a few very nice guests staying at the B&B as well. Great recommendations for dining and wineries as well. Parking was no issue. Will highly recommend to family and friends on any of their trips up to the Finger Lakes. John & Dawn

The best, most unique B&B I have ever stayed at. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. The 1830 house is gorgeous, as are the furnishings. The hosts provide you with maps of the area, as well as their own recommendations. Breakfast at 8:30 is unbelievably delicious, with farm-to-table recipes, using local, organic ingredients. I can never finish it all. (My second stay.)

The Inn is centrally located, and served as the perfect home base for our weekend in town to visit family. The owners were at the door to greet us upon arrival. They did a brief health screening, which was very much appreciated, informed us about breakfast, and showed us to our room. Throughout our stay, they were friendly and helpful, offering ideas for places to go. The food was terrific, and the room comfortable, well-equipped, and air conditioned as we like (with our ability to control) during hot weather. We will definitely return, and highly recommend the Blackberry Inn to others.

Our stay was simply excellent from start to finish. Blackberry exceeded our expectations we were so pleased. First of all the appearance is really beautiful, stylish and quaint. The house is stylish and comfortable. Most importantly it was SO CLEAN. It was really immaculate. Brian and David really care about their place and it shows. Our room was spotless which is even more important now. It was also super stylish and comfortable. It had so many little touches that just made our stay over the top. Coffee maker bottles of water all the perks. We also had a 3 course farm to table breakfast EVERY day. The food was exquisite and fresh. It was well made but also tastefully served and displayed. Brian and David really want you to have an experience. They also could not be any lovelier and more friendly. It was such a pleasure talking to them they are such wonderful hosts. Chad who helps with breakfast and the inn was also so nice friendly and helpful. We loved our stay and it was MORE THEN FIVE STARS. I’ve stayed in over 60 countries and over 42 states and so you can see I’ve traveled a lot. This was one of the finest experiences I’ve ever had. Brian and David outdid themselves. I HIGHLY recommend blackberry!! THE BEST!

Brian and David run an excellent B&B. Blackberry Inn is clean with a full range of amenities you would find at a hotel but with more character and local flavour. We loved the smells of the shampoos and soaps provided in the bathroom, and we really liked the choice of furniture in our room. The heating was wonderful for a cold winter, and we were also kindly offered use of their washing machine when we asked if we could do our laundry. In addition to their excellent B&B, Brian and David are truly wonderful hosts. They offered a delicious breakfast for the two days we stayed with them, and also joined us for conversation over coffee. Breakfast is made from locally sourced producers and farmers, and being foodies, we really could taste the difference. Most importantly, we unfortunately got into a minor car accident in Watkins Glen. Brian and David very, very kindly drove us to the nearest Hertz store in Elmira Airport (a 30-40 minute drive away if I remember correctly) and also offered warm hugs and comfort in the wake of all the tow-truck-police-ambulance-medic stuff. We will always remember the lovely time we spent at Watkins Glen, where we experienced the warmth and kindness of small town America, personified and embodied for us in the persons of Brian and David at Blackberry Inn Bed and Breakfast. Thank you so much Brian and David! Love from your Singaporean guests. <3 <3

Dear Anonymous....Thank you for your feedback. We are a small bouquet B&B. Being one of the leading B&B we go 24/7 from June to October. We take great care in turning our guest rooms. We wash bedspreads and blankets between every guest stay. We are not able to have the rooms ready for a 4 PM check in if we have a 11 AM check out. We realize that you do have choices. When you made your reservation it clearly states that we have a 10 AM check out. If that did not work for you why did you book with us? We are glad you did enjoyed our breakfast and clean room.
