My husband and I just stayed at the Belhurst to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. I wish that I had delved deeper into individual ratings before booking, rather than relying on the overall rating, since a lot of the good ratings have to do with the winery instead of accommodations.

We stayed in the Castle Chambers, specifically the Otis room. For upwards of $320+ a night, you get:
-A dark, dingy room with peeling wallpaper
-A visibly dirty window air conditioner that struggled to keep the room cool in the 90 degree heat
-Blown breakers when you plug in the iron
-A bathroom with cracked tiles, dirty grout, and a shower with what felt like no sub floor beneath the fiberglass bottom.

We often stay at historical hotels and B&B's and understand that it's a balance between modern comforts and keeping the accommodations true to their history, but all of the issues I mentioned above are simply a lack of maintenance and restoration.

I was going to let the front desk know about these issues when we checked out, but they didn't even bother to ask how our stay was so I figured it wasn't worth mentioning. I do appreciate the fact that I left something expensive in the room and they called me promptly to let me know.

As for the winery, we got a complimentary tasting with our stay which was nice, and their dry rose was really delicious. The grounds are beautiful and we had a nice time sitting on the patio with a bottle of wine. I will say that it lacks character that some of the other wineries in the area have, as the tasting room is basically just a big gift shop.

We did dine at Stonecutters and thought it was decent. Not gourmet by any means, but it was a nice easy option when we didn't feel like going anywhere for dinner. We had reservations at Edgar's for our anniversary dinner, but decided to cancel them because we read so many terrible reviews online that we didn't want to risk ruining our special dinner with a bad experience.

Overall, just an OK experience, but at the price tag of a luxury one. I would not stay here again, especially after seeing some of the other beautiful and highly rated options in the Finger Lakes region.
