Everything was fresh and made on site. When we asked about the lamb raspberry glaze, he shared his recipe and gave us a to go order of extra sauce. Great experience if you are looking to relax and re-connect with a loved one.

Big rigs fly by on the road just outside all day and night - often engine breaking to add to the noise. I was in a corner 3rd floor room this last time, and despite white noise at full volume on one phone and earbuds in with soft music coming from the other, it was still loud to the point I called the front desk about 1: 00 asking for another room - but none were available. I'm not a light sleeper and colleagues have also said they slept poorly. Otherwise, the hotel is clean and comfortable - 5 stars. The breakfast is good (with higher protein options) and the location is convenient as well - easy to get in and out of. Can't decide if I'll go back. Perhaps I'll call first to see if I can be guaranteed an even-numbered room...

The good stuff: the parking lot was spacious, they offer a free breakfast and wifi and they have a decent gym and pool for those looking for those amenities. Now for the issues. The Elevator was out of order. The gentleman in line ahead of us asked about the location of the gym. He then was asked if he wanted a first floor room due to the inoperable elevator and he said yes. Hmmm. Then when my husband and I (in our 60s and me with an injured right knee) were being checked in, she told us we were on the 3rd floor and that she hoped we did not have alot of luggage. Not good. We inquired about the availability of a first floor room and were told that they were sold out. Serious demerit for giving the first floor room to the workout oriented buck ahead of us in line. The hotel is well appointed and the room was seemingly clean but smelled like cigarette smoke. The temperature was difficult to control. My oura ring said my overnight body temp was +.08 which is very unusual for me. The bed was hard. It was quiet overnight and that was a plus. The bathroom was clean and well stocked with lots of towels. However when the fan was turned on in the bathroom, it sounded like a jet engine was in there with you. A helpful feature for them is a text in the morning asking what your intended check out time was so they could plan. That is efficient. The lobby was spacious with late night snack and food offerings with a microwave available. In short, I would likely only come here again failing other known quantities in overnight accommodations in Batavia.

After a long day of swimming, no one wanted to cook. So we made dinner reservations at Byrncliff…read more We definitely didn't need to make reservations on this particular Friday evening, as the dining room was wide open. We were seated at a table overlooking the beautiful golf course. Such a beautiful sight at sunset! For me Friday night can only mean one thing, and that is a beer battered fish fry with French fries. My fish fry was delicious, but the french fries were ice cold. The waitress very graciously replaced them with steaming hot fresh french fries. My husband ordered the turkey gravy mashed potatoes plate. It looked wonderful. He thoroughly enjoyed his dinner.

The attention to detail that Joe Dee their Sales Manager/Events Coordinator demonstrated was top notch. His easy going persona, coupled with his apparent expertise made the planning process seamless. Due to travel considerations, we had to adjust our headcount at the last minute. Joe took this in stride and coordinated a lovely evening without mention or concern. The grounds are lovely, the building is quaint, and the menu is broad and varied. We chose plated dinners and our guests raved about the quality and presentation of their choices. in short, the food was delicious! We chose to have our cocktail hour in the main bar. There we were tended to by Bert. He was fun, knowledgeable, and very attentive to our guests. We have been dealing with several vendors during the engagement, shower, rehearsal, and wedding process. Bryncliff proved to be one of the best to work with. Not to mention that the cost of the event was very affordable! No nickel and diming nonsense. Thank you to Joe and his team for a very successful and memorable evening!

Rubber mat for the dog bowls, trash can with locking lid, pet linens for dogs who are used to being on furniture and even a jar of doggie treats. The owners/hosts are friendly and welcoming. The resident Golden Retriever, Ellie is so sweet and gets along well with other dogs. The Inn itself is located in the center of town walking distance to all the great restaurants and shops. There are miles of well maintained sidewalks in this town for easy dog walking. The pet friendly separate guest rooms seem to be far enough away from the rest of the inn to buffer any barking or dog noise, but when we were concerned about going to dinner and leaving the dog - the owners offered to text us if there were any real noise issues. They took the worry out of leaving the dog alone in the room, which made our stay more enjoyable. We will definitely stay here again.

We chose to stay here, 25 minutes away, instead of staying Ellicottville since it was Oktoberfest weekend. It was absolutely worth it. This place was a nice get away. Very warm and welcoming and owners were very kind. We stayed in the India room that had an in-room hot tub. The room was very clean and had a lot of extra amenities, including a hair dryer and shampoo (except we didn't ever find any Robes- as promised in their information about the hotel). Either way, the room was fun and the bed was comfortable. We also really enjoyed their 'lounge' which had snacks and wine and a TV to watch the bills game on. In the morning the hosts made the most delicious "country style" breakfast- eggs, pork loin, fruit, pastries, mashed potatoes and homemade apple sauce. I ate everything but the pork loin (Im a vegetarian) but my husband said it was wonderful. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Hand sani at every turn and I didn't see a single unmasked person throughout my stay. I should also note that the hotel was only at a third capacity, so we really didn't see much of anyone other than the staff throughout our one night stay. We felt safe and at home throughout, and this hotel put cleanline at top priority even before the pandemic. Onto more fun stuff! The staff here is top notch. So friendly and helpful and a pleasure to interact with. We brought our dog, Freddy Sue, this time around, and I would absolutely recommend this hotel to fellow dog owners looking to take their pup to a dog friendly town. It is a $70 charge which is steep, but was worth it to us in terms of peace of mind, especially with the off peak rate of this hotel on a Saturday to Sunday being $140. The beds are SO comfortable and I had such an awesome night's rest. Of course, the location cannot be beat. In the non-COVID times, we bopped from restaurant to restaurant drinking our way through the town and it was amazing to be able to come right back to the center of town as home base. For the price and guaranteed positive experience, I doubt we will ever stay anywhere else when we come to visit Ellicottville. Happy exploring!

The room was laid out wrong with a tv above a fake fireplace and a couch about 6 feet away meaning you had to look up to watch tv. As for the breakfast, it is cool food like vending machine muffins and bulk cereal. No hot food or waffle maker. Even the orange juice was little per-filled sealed cups like it came from a hospital cafeteria. They are remodeling the lobby but they should be doing something with the dated rooms. No charging stations and the couch was old and ratty. We will not be back to this place. UPDATE: I complained on my survey and was contacted by a customer service representative and they gave the company response "sorry for your bad experience we will try hard" which I replied, typical response, I don't believe you even read my additional comments. I said that there was a time when customers were compensated for bad experiences but now it is , we got your money, sorry. About a hour later a got a reply that half my money was being refunded. So at least they are trying so I changed my rating to 2 stars for the effort.

If you're passing through the hamlet of Varysburg you should do yourself a favor and stop by the Varysburg Hotel, not merely for a treat to your taste buds, but for the atmosphere as well. The staff at the Varysburg Hotel make you feel welcome and remain attentive. Parking is limited, you'll most likely need to park on the street. A pro-tip for all, mind your speed as you come down 20a into Varysburg, unless you like contributing to the states general fund of course.
