Totally superb in every way…read more Beautifully restored Victorian home, very comfortable room with excellent bedding, great bathroom and shower, and the best B&B breakfast you will ever have. Fluffy pancakes with warm peaches, blueberries and warm maple syrup with bacon the first morning, an egg soufflé with Boursin cheese, fabulous fruit/yogurt/granola parfait and sausage the second day. Fire pit in the back in the evening, wonderful and welcoming staff - what more could anyone possibly want? This is just an amazing place to stay while in Cooperstown - and walking distance to Hall of Fame and other attractions in the Village. Highly recommend!

Breakfasts were outstanding (leek and spinach quiche, with apple cider-basted sausage; rosemary and lemon French toast with lemon curd, REAL maple syrup and bacon cooked to perfection; pancakes with berries - each beyond delicious!). Chef is happy to accommodate dietary restrictions - she takes great care to make sure you're nourished with nutritious food. Staff were so welcoming and eager to please, from the minute I walked through the door. Truly a wonderful stay and I can't wait to come back!

Great food can make or break a B&B, and it was so disappointing (cold, stale pancakes, cold sausage, unripe fruit) that we went elsewhere for breakfast the second day. People were nice, location was good, but we thought it was overpriced for the quality.

When we checked in, we were greeted warmly. I really appreciated help with my bag up the somewhat steep & narrow stairs. (No elevator - so keep that in mind if you come to stay.) Bed was firm, bathrooms were spotless, extra pillows in the closet are sealed in plastic, bedding all super fresh. Phone chargers next to the bed & sofa(bed) & solid wifi made this quaint & cozy room connected. Full length mirror, hair dryer & an iron & ironing board were much appreciated. Our 2nd floor room was very quiet & the blackout drapes on all windows plus the split ac & heat controls made everything adjustable for a perfectly cavelike environment. Hello solid night's sleep! A small fridge in the room had little Coffeemate creamers for the in-room coffee maker, but there is always a coffee & tea station downstairs too. The town is literally across the street! The Baseball Hall of Fame & the Farmers Museum are both a block & a half away, and in between are several spirits shops, baseball stores, restaurants and a bakery. Breakfast is 8am-9:30am & it is a nice offering: Oatmeal packets, cold cereals & milk Sausage & pepper frittata - custardy! Corn muffins (a must try!) Yogurts Fruit salad Heidelberg wheat, raisin & sunflower seed bread slices (& toaster) Coffee & tea station Orange, ruby grapefruit & cranberry juices Jams, butter, & condiments If you're coming to town & prefer a close stay to the sights here, & a smaller inn experience, this is the place to be! The inn has a selection of cycling-related accessories to purchase also.

The Barnwell Inn checks off all the boxes you want in a B&B, or hotel, for that matter. The room -…read moreand bed - is comfortable. The room was serviced everyday, including new towels. There were a sufficient number of outlets for all the electronic charges, et cetera, the A/C worked fine, the TV had a digital cable package, it had a mini-fridge, and the bathroom was big enough to accommodate two people. The location was convenient - two blocks away from Main Street, so it was quiet, but only about an 8 minute walk into town, including the Hall of Fame (baseball, for all you coming to town for the opera). Three different churches are about five minutes away by walking, and there was sufficient parking at the Barnwell, even with a full house. Mark and Tara were outstanding hosts. Very personable, with good senses of humor. Attention to service was evident with all the "special" things done for breakfast for various guests (this reviewer included). Example: When the Keurig was broken a replacement was purchased within twelve hours. Yes, coffee is provided 24/7. Tara was an outstanding 'concierge' with recommendations of restaurants and the local area. Mark has an obvious passion for cooking, evidenced by the quality of the breakfasts (as well as the amount of food we had!). Anyone who will buy andouille sausage via mail order to ensure a good quality pays attention to the little details. Three days, three breakfasts, and nothing was repeated. Bottom Line: Whatever you expect out of a stay at a bed & breakfast will be exceeded at the Barnwell Inn.

I wasn't looking forward to the trip until I had my first contact, through Tara, with the Barnwell Inn. She and her husband Mark make you feel like welcome guests from your first inquiry about reservations until your final day at the Inn. They are a truly gracious couple! After we made reservations, Tara provided us with recommendations of things to do in the area as well as places for lunch and dinner. She also offered to make reservations for us. All of her suggestions were excellent. The Hall of Fame wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, although I didn't feel the need to visit for a second day. Tara recommended the Fennimore Art Museum, and I spent an enjoyable morning exploring there. The Inn is in a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood, and is only a few blocks from the HOF, shops and restaurants. Cooperstown is a great town for walking. One of the best parts of staying at the Barnwell Inn is the breakfast. It is presented beautifully, and the food is out-of-this-world good! Our stay at the Barnwell Inn was one of the best lodging experiences we've ever had. I'm even looking forward to a return trip to Cooperstown! There appear to be other lovely inns and b&b's in Cooperstown, but there is no need to look beyond the Barnwell Inn.

Ron & Susan, owners of the Main Street Bed and Breakfast, provide excellent service, a wonderful…read morebreakfast, and beautiful, clean bedrooms for your stay in Cooperstown. Tip: Book early. Certain weekends/events in Cooperstown can have Main B&B booked solid without an early reservation. Prices vary per season and the events taking place in town. This B & B is located within walking distance to downtown - leave your car parked at the B & B. Street parking and lot parking is available. I parked on the street many times staying here and had no problem. There are three different bedrooms to rent with your own private bathroom in each room. Bedrooms have hardwood floor with floor rugs. Breakfast is served between 8 and 9am, and Susan is a wonderful cook. I have always enjoyed her dishes. They provide you a front door key to enter the house after "closing" time, and you are also provided a key to your bedroom. This B & B is not handicap accessible - all bedrooms are on the second floor. Stairs wrap around and are only wide enough for those who may need to use crutches or a cane. This is an old Victorian style home, decorated beautifully providing you a warm welcome during your stay in Cooperstown. I have stayed here twice, and I highly recommend the Main Street B & B.

They only have three rooms so service is personal and you feel at home. We were only there one night so didn't hang around too much, but breakfast in the morning was perfect and again, Suzie was fantastic. We stayed in the Queen Anne Room, which has a queen sized bed and a private bathroom. We could hear the occupants across the hall at night (just talking, no one being loud) so I was grateful that we had that room as it's separate from the other two across the hall. The room was very clean, as was the living space downstairs and the yard/porch were all kept very clean. As a young couple we were a little disappointed with the lacking night life in Cooperstown, but if we were to visit again we would definitely stay at Main Street B&B.

It feels like you are transported back generations! The patterns are funky and the furniture is comfy! Reminds me of a new age colonial- comfort of grandmas living room! The gentleman at the front desk was so charming - very sweet. Complimentary red and white wine served starting at 4- and the wine was actually tasty! I was impressed! There are no elevators - so be ready to carry your luggage. Also I'm not sure how great the AC is - this is a historic Mansion - I'm taking wood windows with chains. It really made me reminisce of my childhood home. The bed was very comfy and I slept with the windows open for cool breeze. I opted out of breakfast as it seemed carb heavy - per recommendation went to the diner around the corner- so good! Front desk staff is charming- the other staff (maids staff) is... interesting. It's not the four seasons but I did enjoy the personality and charm of this property and it seems like they are adding some more to it! Definitely worth the visit !

It is a very nice place, but the breakfast is spectacular. They're open to letting you pick a meal, and I tried waffles, sausage, eggs, they give you a plate full of biscuits - my goodness, it's all delicious. One of the best breakfasts I've had in as long as I can remember. Even the coffee is delicious stuff. I have too much shame to gorge myself stupid in someone else's home, but I easily could have and secretly wish I would have. The owners are very accommodating, too. You're in their home, but they never make you feel like you're intruding on their space. That is a big plus. The problems with the place are beyond their control - there's nothing around, so once you come in for the night, you're pretty much stuck indoors. But that's a Cooperstown problem. There's just not much to do after 8. We even ventured around to find a nice place to eat, and it's shocking for a city guy like me to drive around such a rural area in the pitch darkness finding so little life around. Also, there's a fair amount of bugs, but I guess that's what you get when you're in the mountains. We weren't bothered by it. Pro tip: GPSes of all kinds have no idea how to get here. Yelp and google maps were confused. Google maps asked if we meant County Hwy 33 W - that is not the right one. Check out all the options the GPS gives you - Willow Tree is about 10 miles north of the Hall of Fame.

The house was still under some renovations, and we were okay with that. We stayed in Room 1, and it was a pretty big room.

Breakfast is more than complete daily, and they'll make you whatever you want for dinner (salmon, steak, fried chicken, veggies). Only down part is there are a ton of ladybugs on the mountain, and without screens on all of the windows, they tend to get into the house. Otherwise, it was a really nice experience.

As I searched through possibilities, the first-floor suite at The Phoenix Inn caught my eye and made my decision very easy. This Inn provides everything you need, but there are no frills - the decor and accommodations are pleasant and clean. The beds are very comfortable, there is plenty of hot water, and the wi-fi worked great. There were power strips throughout the room, so we could plug in and recharge our devices. Vicki made the beds and changed the towels daily. There are daily newspapers in the common room and there is always fresh coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available. The guest fridge in the Inn's kitchen is great for chilling the goodies you get at Ommegang Brewery or the local wineries. The food is excellent. Each morning Vicki provides a buffet featuring fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, cereal, freshly-baked goodies from the Inn's kitchen, and a hot dish. The stand-outs during our visit were the Blueberry French Toast and the Raspberry-Cream Cheese Coffeecake. Vicki was amenable to special requests and was happy whip up a few scrambled eggs for my diabetic husband and she made sure to have the appropriate foods for two pregnant vegan women who were guests during our time there. The Inn is within 10-15 minutes of most of Cooperstown's attractions, but located away from it all. We had no trouble sleeping. I'd return to The Phoenix Inn.
