“Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

Just returned from a wonderful 2 night stay at La Belle Vie. The house is furnished with beautiful antique furniture and the rooms are spacious with brand new en suite bathrooms. Laurel cooks an amazing breakfast every morning, including homemade blueberry muffins or the fantastic ginger scones! Both Laurel & Llewellyn were so welcoming. They know a lot about the local area and didn't hesitate to sit down with us and show us where the local towns, restaurants, walks and wineries were. Hope to return in the summer and make use of the lovely veranda outside the Ridley room!

Room Tip: The Ridley room is the largest and most luxurious. Also has veranda that you can sit out on.

“A wonderful B&B and equally wonderful hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent 4 nights at this awesome B&B August 19 to the 23rd, for our eighteenth anniversary.
The "Ridley" room was so luxurious and romantic. We spent a great deal of time on our own porch/veranda and just relaxed. Our hosts are the most lovely people and Lauren is an outstanding and inventive chef. Her ginger scones are to die for. Both she and Llewellyn were wonderful to talk to. Great sense of humor and outlook on life. We will return.

Room Tip: The Ridley is wonderful.

“Glorious Gem!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

The hosts, Laurel & Llewellyn are friendly, professional hosts. The B&B has wonderful historical detail, yet has modern touches with spacious rooms, spa like bathrooms, plush towels, soft sheets, and tasteful decor. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The setting in Penn Yan is near vineyards, rolling farmlands and fine dining.

Room Tip: All the bedrooms are beautiful.

“Wonderful weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011

This is a long waited review from our short holiday in Penn Yan. We stayed at the property in august 2011. Loved the place from the first sight. Laurel & Llewellyn are wonderful hosts. Very welcoming, pleasant and interesting people. They now a lot about the place and gave us plenty advise of what to do and where to go around the area. The house is full of history, the rooms are tidy and charming. Modern bathrooms and plenty of hot water. Breakfast tasty and generous. We were absolutely stuffed by the time we finished with it. The were also evening cup of tea and interesting conversations. Actually the tea was available as first thing, when we arrived. And after 5 hours drive, there was nothing better as to sit sown on a terrace and have a drink. We would recommend this place!!!

Room Tip: We saw all the rooms and they are all nice.
