There was nothing I didn’t like about it b

The hospitality and food was exceptional.

I read quite a bit, so a bedside reading lamp with higher wattage would have been perfect. There are bedside lamps on both nightstands, but with lower wattage than I am accustomed to.

The owners provide individualized services to their guests. I was unable to make brunch, so they stocked my fridge with food, snacks and assorted beverages. The owners are super friendly...even joining us for lively conversation at the fire pit!

Mike and Jean were so welcoming. The brunch, oh my! I was expecting hotel type food. Was I ever pleasantly surprised! We had delicious food brought to us in courses. I felt so pampered. My sister and I were there to visit wineries. Jean took the time to find out what we liked and gave us a list of places to try. She even had coupons for discounts! The house was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had all kinds of specialty products included. At Our arrival there was a bag of goodies hanging on the door. The microwave and small stocked refrigerator were an added bonus. We were able to use a Keurig with many choices of coffee and tea in our room. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay!

Everything

Beautiful. Traditional upscale b&b. Jean & Mike have made the inn elegant and cozy. The attention to detail is beyond expectation. The brunches each morning were spectacular. One can tell right away that Jean puts her heart in her cooking. The brunches were gourmet. And Mike is a pleasure to chat with, especially learning how he used he skills and talents to renovate this splendid manor.

Our breakfasts were superlative. 4 courses of way too much food. Served so beautifully on our table in the parlor it was almost like having the home to ourselves. Mike greeted us when we arrived and he and my husband were completely simpatico about house renovations and beautiful architecture, which the house was full of. Our bed was so comfortable and even though the house was built in 1870, we appreciated the a/c. The property was so well maintained inside and out and our hosts, Mike and Jean, are people we would like to call friends. The town of Ovid was just so lovely. We hope to go again.

Mike and Jean are very personable and accommodating. They are knowledgeable of local events, and provide coupons for all the local wineries. The fresh flowers, the complimentary beverages and snacks, and the extra personal care items available really make you feel pampered! The Manor is beautifully restored. They have mastered blending the modern facilities into the home without losing the histrionic, architectural beauty of the Manor. The beds are very comfy. The brunches were delicious. We loved the fresh, home grown, fruits and veggies! The blackberry brûlée was fantastic! We will definitely return to the Manor when we come to the area!

Mike and Jean are a lovely host and hostess, providing a warm and welcoming home away from home. The brunches were always super. And the accommodations all we could ask for.

Nothing to not like! Wonderful property and hosts, comfortable rooms, and an all-around perfect stay.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Tillinghast Manor. The property was beautiful, and owners Jean and Mike were first-class hosts. The meals were beyond anything we could have expected, delicious and well-prepared. The location is very central o the Finger Lakes region, and within easy driving of many points of interest.

A small dresser in the bedrooms would be a nice addition; I like to unpack if I'm staying for more than 1 night. And perhaps a small desk or table and chair for writing or using a laptop.

The B&B is a beautifully restored mansion with towering ceilings, huge windows and large rooms. Our family of 5 stayed in the Roosevelt and Cayuga rooms for 3 nights. The Roosevelt room is divided into a king bedroom with bath and a separate living room across the hall. The living room has an additional double bed, dining set, couch and big TV. It was perfect for us since our 3 teens were able to use/share the Roosevelt living room and Cayuga bedroom (also a king) and bath. Breakfast was delicious with HUGE portions. The rooms had so many extras -- drinks in the fridge, snacks, chocolates, robe and slippers. The king bed was very comfortable. Jean and Mike were wonderful and welcoming. Nice Italian takeout place a short walk away for a simple dinner, and there was a concert on the town common one night we were there. Very easy driving distance to the Seneca wine trail, Ithaca, Geneva, and Watkins Glen.

There is so much to do in the area, make sure you plan appropriately and give yourself all the time you need!

Mike and Jean are terrific hosts - extremely knowledgable, caring, great conversationalists, terrific cooks. We really could not have had a better place to stay for a quick weekend.

It was obvious the owners went out of their way to make the stay as pleasant as possible. They took great care with everything they did, particularly the brunch.

Incredible hospitality and hosts. Seldom would one find a B&B which personally caters and customizes to each guest. The hosts took wonderful care of us during our stay, asking us about our allergies and customizing the breakfast accordingly. They especially made something I wanted and served it on our final day. Warm homely ambience , lavish breakfast, charming property and the most lovely hosts . Highly recommended in the area

Mike and Jean were great hosts, they are friendly and very helpful. Tillinghast is warm and inviting in a great location between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes with access to the wine trails, boat ramps, and dining in either the north or south ends of the lakes. The brunches were fantastic! From the candies on the beds, snacks & treats, robes & slippers to helpful advise on exploring the area, I highly recommend!

A beautiful cosy guest house. I especially appreciated the effort to prepare vegetarian meals for my husband. Brunch was definitely a highlight! The area is stunning and we made use of winery and restaurant recommendations. We'll be back in the summer.
