Sutherland House Victorian Bed and Breakfast

Hi Sam, I was going to write to you & Maria. My stay was a special time in my life and your B&B filled it with beauty, charm, friendliness and a peacefulness I was looking for. Everything every day of my visit brought me special memories I will treasure for a long time. Maria met me at the front door with a big warm welcome and showed me around giving me a tour and what to expect of my stay there. Each day was filled with new experiences for me as this vacation was to make going solo in my life now an easier transition. Loved the Ivy Solace room that made my time in Canandaigua even more special...beautiful with charm, history of days gone by. You thought of every little detail one could imagine. Wonder if I should have brought this or that; then open a drawer or unique box and wala it was there. You thought of everything a traveler to the area would need. And the cleanliness ... your staff made the White Glove Test be phased out of existence. Job well done. The touches of history throughout the house were amazing and I learned more of its beginnings up until now. I even snuck into that sitting area and quietly played Chopsticks on the piano (only tune I know to play on it .. ha ha) but Maria said it would be ok and no one was around there but me that day. Now on to the gourmet 3-course breakfasts. To die for!!!! I gave your head cook a big hug for those delicious dishes ... favorite was the French Toast --- 😋 YUM! Also lady working with her was so pleasant too and did fantastic job there in helping me with questions I had upon my stay there. Seems the people your establishment draws are super nice folks too. Enjoyed our time together in the sitting area and eating together. We loved our talks and the friendly atmosphere helped bring us together. We almost didn't want to part to start our day. My son and daughter-in-law gave me this trip to Canandaigua as a birthday gift and found your place to make this trip even more special for me. I definitely will be back if I plan another trip to the area. I'm only about 50 minutes away up in Spencerport, NY. My husband and I would come for a trip to Canandaigua every year for Roseland Park Amusement area and then to Polimini's Restaurant across from Kershaw Park for dinner. Loved the backdrop of the Bristol Hills and Mountain range around the Lake. Sadly they're both gone. Well sorry this got so lengthy but I'm still feeling my wonderful time at your place and the surrounding area. Please tell Maria hi for me. Thank you both for this special time in my life and the forever sweet memories. Joyanne (Joy) Burrell Almost forgot to mention the lady there who works on your landscaping and garden areas there. Beautiful job and always said "Hi Joy...how was your day." Whenever she'd see me coming or going.

I can’t tell you enough about our wonderful stay at Sutherland House B&B. The Victorian house was beautiful. So much to see with the antiques and all the history they shared. The room was perfect with everything you need. They truly thought of everything. The breakfasts were outstanding and the owners so kind! So close to Canandaigua which of course is also beautiful. Celebrated our 40th anniversary there and so glad we did. Thank you Maria and Sam!

Had the opportunity to stay at the Sutherland House because we were in Canadaigua for a wedding. The B&B was a perfect location because it was only a five minute car ride to the wedding venue. Check in was so easy and there was plenty of parking. Our accommodations were great there was a welcome note from Sam and Maria. The bathroom was large and had a number of amenities in case we had forgotten something. There was even a phone charger which was perfect because I had forgotten mine plus the bed was very comfortable. The grounds are peaceful with a number of areas to sit outside and take in the scenery. The house is breathtaking when you pull in at night and see the amazing lights that are in the yard and how they showcase the house. As we pulled in there was a deer in the side yard. Will be going back again. B.Leva

Sam and Maria have a beautiful, historic home, built in the late 1800’s and nicely restored. Their hospitality was wonderful and the setting of the B and B was great, out in the country yet close to town. Breakfast was a three course meal, with specialty items, and very tasty.

Fantastic. I can’t get over all the antique furnishings, especially the Edison phonograph and baby grand piano. It was especially odd to have to step down one step in the hallway and step back up into the bedroom! The outside of the house was just as beautiful. Chef Faye was outstanding .

Absolutely wonderful stay! Peaceful and warm accommodations. Easy check-in/out. Delicious breakfasts. Included drinks, and coffee available for all guests. Comfy beds and a perfect city to explore! What more could you ask for?! We loved it and will most definitely return! Thank you to the Sutherland House for a great weekend!

A magical retreat! The room was wonderful and well appointed and smelled like heaven- I don’t know how they did that… The breakfast- next level and so enormous that I didn’t eat the rest of the day. Plus the extras like soda refrigerators and coffee/tea and cookies around the clock as well as snacks in the room! I would 12/10 recommend this Inn and will definitely be back!!

My wife and I stayed in the Parker Suite. It was outstanding… even better than the online pics. The B&B tastefully reflected the Victoria Era. It was Clean, well appointed , with a very comfortable bed. Coffee. Snacks, and entertainment options available 24/7. The 3 course breakfast on both mornings was excellent. The location was in close enough distance to Corning Glass Museum, Niagara Falls and Wine Trails.

Awesome Victorian b&b.. the breakfasts were the best we have had in over 15 others to compare with.. highly recommend.. friendly and acomintating host... will book again next May ... awesome week end ... close to city. ..Mark and Deb F.
