Needed to pick up son from a weekend retreat in Salisbury . From long island , and needed a place to stay for return trip. I searched the sites for EVERY 5 star hotel or b&b around!! Pics of 5 stars made we wince! Portobello was the nicest, so called and spoke to Roland . I must share I am... More

After our fourth visit here, we have come to realize that this is a house to be lived in. Two very comfortable seating areas with plenty of interesting reading material are begging you to spend some time and soak in the atmosphere. Perfect home base for day trips but don't overdo it-spend some time at "home". More

Great relaxing atmosphere. Cookies and coffee available 24/7. Breakfast was the best(loved baked french toast).Roland, the innkeeper was a gracious and helpful host, Steven too. More

Returning again since our stay last summer, the Inn is a great find in the Glimmeglass/Cooperstown area....clean, comfortable accommodations, best breakfast around and a truly considerate and thoughtful host in Roland! More

I love old historic houses--- and staying in them when they have been restored and cared for, is a treat.

We were up for the opera with cousins of ours, all seniors, and we... More

Thank you Roland for a great weekend. We had a very relaxing time and enjoyed the homemade cookies and amazing breakfast. Portobello definitely has the best breakfast I have had at a bed and breakfast. If we are in the area, we will definitely come back and recommend Portobello to others. More

My partner and I stayed in the Portobello Inn for six nights in August, 2010 while attending the Glimmerglass Opera, and the only disagreement we had during the entire stay was about the afternoon cookies. I thought the chocolate chip superior to the oatmeal; he thought the opposite. We both agreed about the quality and tastiness of the sumptuous breakfasts:... More

My husband and I found this inn off the internet. We looked to tripadvisor for help in choosing a place to stay and saw the reviews and stayed for two nights. What wonderful hosts and the place is like a museum but very comfortable and homey. The place was clean and neat and the breakfasts were just wonderful. We will... More

Roland and his partners were gracious, accommodating and helpful during our 1 night stay (last minute booking) in the Cooperstown area. Of particular note, he took our request in advance for our breakfast choice chosen from the recipes listed on the website.....fantastic baked praline french toast, together with fresh fruits and juices. The "take-away" brownies (home baked and delicious) were... More
