Candlelight Lodge B&B, along the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail (40 mi.), has all 24 wineries within 20 miles in Lake Erie Wine Country. There are 6 wineries within 4mi. of our Country Inn.

We offer breakfast at two unique locations in Westfield within two short blocks of our Inn, easy walking or you may enjoy breakfast on either Lake Erie (1 mi.) in Barcelona Harbor, Pier and Lighthouse or on Chautauqua Lake (5 mi.). Each of these four locations specialize in breakfast and if not a breakfast fan our restaurant certificate can also be used for lunch. Enjoy breakfast when, where and what you prefer. This also allows you an opportunity to explore more of Chautauqua County, its businesses and meet its friendly people. For more information see Policies and Rates.
