My husband and I stayed here the 5 nights prior to July 4th, 2012. We travel quite often and have stayed in many B&B's. We were very delighted with our stay. The proprietors Rick and Glenda were so nice, and provided the most amazing, tasty, filling breakfasts. I didn't eat for 5 days after we left. The accommodations were very... More

We reserved the cottage at the Ilex Inn as the first stop on a motorcycle trip across New York. What a great way to start our vacation. We had originally thought that we would not make it down to check in prior to the 9pm cut-off, and a quick email to our hosts assured us that they would make arrangements... More

We ended up at The Ilex Inn when all other B&Bs in Ellicottville were full on a long weekend. What a lucky break for us! We were warmly welcomed and offered a very comfortable room with a gas fireplace and a private bath. An upstairs lounge has a Keurig coffeemaker for tea, coffee and hot chocolate, plus a huge selection... More

This is just one example of our "better than expected" experience.We had the wonderful and most private place-the Kennedy Cottage.The breakfasts were very good as... More

Only stayed for one night, but it was wonderful to be away from the world in such a great place. Everything was comfortable and the decor was very tasteful and beautiful. Rick and Glenda have done a good job of getting everything fixed up. The breakfast was very good, hot tub great (even in the winter cold). We really enjoyed... More

The new owners were very friendly and enthusiastic, but not intrusive and the room comfortable, spacious and within easy walking distance of the village. One of the best parts, a wonderful gourmet breakfast the next morning. We will definitely be back!

Its the cheapest place in town compared to every other Bed and Breakfast as well as the local hotel down the street. Included in the overall price is the amazing hott tub with jets that will blow...

We wanted to stay here because of it's location to the main strip and because we love the charm of a B&B. Rick and Glenda were very nice and breakfast was delicious. I do want to share the same sentiment as another reviewer. Our bed was probably the most uncomfortable bed i've ever slept on. We were up tossing all... More
