We ended up at The Ilex Inn when all other B&Bs in Ellicottville were full on a long weekend. What a lucky break for us! We were warmly welcomed and offered a very comfortable room with a gas fireplace and a private bath. An upstairs lounge has a Keurig coffeemaker for tea, coffee and hot chocolate, plus a huge selection... More

Only stayed for one night, but it was wonderful to be away from the world in such a great place. Everything was comfortable and the decor was very tasteful and beautiful. Rick and Glenda have done a good job of getting everything fixed up. The breakfast was very good, hot tub great (even in the winter cold). We really enjoyed... More

The new owners were very friendly and enthusiastic, but not intrusive and the room comfortable, spacious and within easy walking distance of the village. One of the best parts, a wonderful gourmet breakfast the next morning. We will definitely be back! More

We wanted to stay here because of it's location to the main strip and because we love the charm of a B&B. Rick and Glenda were very nice and breakfast was delicious. I do want to share the same sentiment as another reviewer. Our bed was probably the most uncomfortable bed i've ever slept on. We were up tossing all... More

The Ilex Inn felt like home away from home for a weekend getaway from PA to NY. RIck and Glenda treated us like family and their breakfast was delicious! The rooms (both private and common areas) provide a comfortable, warm, relaxing and welcoming feel. The fire places and hot tub are an additional bonus. The plans that Rick and Glenda... More

Just on the edge of the village of Ellicottville in walking distance to stores, restaurants, gift shops and night life the days... More
