The Bella Ella Bed and Breakfast, Canandaigua

Lovely

Liked: Very Cosy and relaxing.
Disliked: Was a bit warm when we got there. Had to put on the AC.

My stay was charming, convenient,...

Liked: The Bella Ella is a charming place, warmly hospitable. The breakfast was hearty and delicious. I had come to the area for a wedding in Rochester. The Bella Ella was the closest place I found that didn’t increase their rates due to the solar eclipse during my stay, and it was an easy drive into the city.

it was good for what...

Liked: Charming and convenient. Jerilou is delightful. Breakfast was great (abundant coffee!!)
Disliked: Bed was comfortable but in a corner against the wall, which was hard for two people! There are LOT of decorations, which made moving around in a small space a bit challenging. Stairs are narrow and very steep. Also, no shades on windows, even in the bathroom. Yes, it's in the country. But, still...Truth is, it's an old farm house. Limited things can be done to make it as accommodating as possible.

Exceptional

Good

Liked: The breakfast was fine. Egg omelette, fresh fruit and orange juice, large cranberry muffin and hot tea and coffee
Disliked: A power strip to charge electronics is needed. Better lighting. Every room was quite dim.

It was a little disappointing.

Liked: Fire in stove.
Disliked: This place was not really a full bed and breakfast. It was a little bit more like an Air B&B. I never saw the people who ran the place, and I was there for 4 days and 3 nights. The breakfast was served on a credenza in the living room not on a dining room like a typical bed and breakfast. At 8:00 am breakfast food was placed on the credenza and the breakfast was self-serve. There was a bagel, scrambled eggs mixed with sausage, some fruit and coffee. I paid $400 total for three nights with a bath in the hallway. I could’ve just stayed at a generic motel for half the price.

Cozy, comfy and warm

Liked: The house itself is so cozy and well-maintained. We loved the decor and general vibe! Felt like coming to my childhood home.
Disliked: Literally the only not positive thing I could say would be the deep clean was lacking: Everything was immaculate and beautiful except for some dust but who actually cares about that, seriously? It's an old house with lots of hard-to-reach nooks and crannies and we booked LAST MINUTE!

My stay was an amazing...

Liked: I liked how it brought back so many memories of when I was a child.
Disliked: I enjoyed it all.

First time; last time.

Liked: Location was satisfactory.
Disliked: The owner didn’t interact with us in person at any time during our stay. The path from the driveway to house was uneven and treacherous. The room was dusty and had cobwebs. The economy room does list that it has a guest bath- however we did not understand that meant it was outside of our room until we received that information hours before our stay. Breakfast, while hot, was served at 8 am- egregiously early and we are morning people.
