Fodor's Expert Review William Seward Inn
6645 S. Portage Rd., Westfield, New York, 14787, USA Fodor's Choice
This lovely 1837 Greek Revival inn sits on a secluded, grassy property between Westfield and Chautauqua. Rooms are traditionally furnished with period antiques and reproductions: some are dressed in flirty florals and ruffles, others have a more tailored look, with handsome four-poster beds; a few have balconies and fireplaces. The modern-built Carriage House rooms are the largest, with double whirlpool baths. Big, gourmet breakfasts, which could include amaretto-soaked French toast or four-cheese-and-tarragon omelet, are served in the cozy dining room.
PROS
- new owners (2008) renovating all rooms in detailed period style
- congenial rather than stuffy
- care taken in details
CONS
- bathrooms in historic part of inn are small and quirky
- some rooms have only full-size bed
