breakfast is served by candlelight in the formal dining room, always at the convenience of our guests. Or if you wish to have breakfast in the privacy of your room we can arrange it with advance notice. Groups of up to 25 can be comfortably served at any time of year for special events such as Bridal Showers, Intimate Weddings, Murder Mysteries, Red Hat Society Get-to-gethers, etc. Although we may serve you on fine china with sterling and crystal it is not because we are pretentious but merely because we enjoy using our collections for the pleasure of our guests.

the dining room opens to the parlor through large 8-foot pocket doors and to the breakfast room which we sometimes use during the winter months when we have less than a full house of guests. All of these rooms have 10-foot ceilings.

tHE PARLOR
"There was no grand staircase, no marble mantles or elegant marble fireplace but only a beautiful octagonal bay window area through which the sunlight streamed." The gas fireplace was added and the room has become a gathering place where our guests converge to share a glass of wine, play the Victorian pump organ, or to join in warm and friendly conversation.

come curl up by the fireplace with a good book or share a bottle of wine from one of the Finger Lakes wineries. Spend a while perusing our photo album of before and after pictures of the Woodworth House restoration. If you are interested in history Fran delights in telling the stories of the serendipitous happenings involving how she came to become an innkeeper of this romantic victorian bed and breakfast. Only if you are interested! She will help you with your plans for visiting the Finger Lakes and provide maps to help you find your way to your favorite places.

there is also a wine cellar with a television (should you wish to catch up Romantic Victorian Accommodations in upstate New York bed and breakfast :a Finger Lakes B&B on the news or see your favorite sports activity), and a refrigerator stocked with complimentary soft drinks where you can also keep your "take outs" and leftovers from your culinary feast at the Brown Hound Bistro or the Lodge at Bristol Harbour. Our wine cellar has challenging jigsaw puzzles, games, and a plethora of brochures of things to do in the Finger Lakes.
