TV originally didn't work due to surge protector being bad which was fixed only to learn no cable. Free TV or log in to your own apps. Breakfast was pastries for one even though there was two of us. I requested hot water for tea since I'm a tea drinker and even brought my own tea bags. Coffee was provided. No yogurt or fruit as another person stated. Overall it was ok but for the price I could have stayed at a 5 star hotel and got more for my money.

We reserved three rooms at the B&B, along with rooms at three other area B&Bs, during a recent…read morewedding weekend. We paid for the rooms, but did not personally stay there, although we visited there before our guests arrived. The issues noted were reported by seven individuals who did stay at the B&B. Timberlake is in a beautiful setting right on a small lake. Upon arrival, we noted that the B&B seemed more "lived in" than most where we've stayed. Bob was very friendly, and most of our guests staying there were the outdoorsy types, so we thought it would work.We were taken aback that the breakfast schedule seemed to revolve around Bob's golf schedule more than guest preferences, but the rooms seemed adequate for our needs, and the country setting provided ample opportunity for walks, running, kayaking, etc. What we did not know at the time we reserved space is that the owner is facing some personal issues that may affect guests and their stay. Problems arose early when their dog peed on one of our guests. We all love dogs, and many B&Bs have them around, but they must be perfectly trained before meeting guests. Bob did offer to clean the affected clothing. The first two nights, all of our guests, as well as another friend who was staying at the facility, noted that there were significant loud noises going on upstairs into the wee hours of the morning. They said it sounded like furniture being dragged around all night. One couple left the B&B early because of that plus an unpleasant smell in their downstairs room. This is a lovely spot, and Bob is very personable, but we cannot recommend staying here until the family issues are resolved and business can get back to "usual." Unfortunately it appears that Bob may not be aware of what is going on in the house during his absences, and it affects guest experiences. Guests should also be aware that the driveway to the B&B is very rutted. Four wheel drive is not needed, but slow going and good ground clearance is a must. None of our guests at the other three B&Bs reserved this weekend had any issues, so Hamilton has numerous great options for visitors.

I'm writing this review solely based on the tavern experience at the Colgate Inn., not the inn…read moreitself. Staff: We made reservations and were greeted by the hostess upon arrival. Staff were very accommodating and even helped fix a table that was slightly wobbly. Server was nice and the ambience was pleasant in the dining area. Not too loud, and wasn't packed. Food: the food was very good. We started off with a couple drinks and plentiful amounts of breads. I ordered a simple craft beer and my partner had the winter margarita which was exceptional with great presentation. We ordered the whipped feta skillet for an appetizer and it was very good as I never had anything like this before. My main course consisted of the braised short ribs (exceptional by the way) and my partner ordered the ratatouille (exceptional as well). Presentation and flavor for both and outstanding. I appreciate the black slate plates which were a nice touch. I hope the pictures do justice because the food was very good. . As expensive this place is and with the newer and younger staff, they did appear knowledgeable in how to navigate the restaurant world. In my opinion. The 1 star reviews might not really be necessary for this establishment because you felt slighted a bit, so reader be wary of allowing other bad reviews Influence your choice on eating here. Check their rating history, and if it's typically 1 star reviews, maybe it's just them? Overall we felt it was a great experience, the ambience and fireplace were nice , food was very good overall! We would come back, everything seems to be going up in price now adays, so it wasn't "too" unreasonable overall. They do offer some rich history with old photos of neighboring towns which I thought was very cool to see the historic side of things.

I saw a bunch of deer while walking at night. This spot is reasonably priced too. Way better and cheaper than the Marriott I am currently waiting to leave. For love, for life, for the Colgate Inn.

My daughter and I were up for Admit Day at Colgate, and we stayed at this beautiful Bed and Breakfast just outside of town. Our room (the Ryan room) was immaculate and had a beautiful view of the property. We felt completely at home as logged into wifi and were able to watch TV in the living room. We slept well and Kevin (the owner) put out a great spread for continental breakfast in the morning. Kevin could not have been kinder or more generous. We would definitely stay there again if we visit Colgate in the future.

A wonderful place with wonderful people!…read more My parents had stayed here four years ago for parents weekend and had loved the place so much that they booked it right then and there for graduation weekend three and a half years later. Kevin and Leslie were wonderful hosts and catered to our every need be it food, cleaning, or making a warm fire. The property was spacious and beautiful with a large pond well stocked with fish and a hammock to rest on outside in the beautiful upstate air. The cabin itself was spacious and had all amenities you could imagine with a new grill, washing machines, and a great kitchen. Although we only stayed five days, I would recommend this a million times over and hope to come back again when I return to upstate New York and relive my collegiate past!
