    Vera and staff went above and beyond our expectations, their hospitality makes The Pig Hill Inn a truly great experience. This is my first time visiting Cold Spring, what a quaint town! Normally in October we'd come to the Hudson Valley, dine at the CIA and stay in a nice hotel. 2020, we're dining outside but I was able to find this gem of a Bed & Breakfast. Checking in was easy breezy! Vera was at the front desk and welcomed us warmly. We walked up the stairs and opened the door to our room. From the sleigh bed to the cast iron tub, this was a unique Bed & Breakfast. Once we unpacked, I brought a bottle a wine for us to enjoy in their lovely garden. Vera came outside and said, why don't I give you cushions to sit on? It's the level of hospitality that truly shines at the P.H.I. While we were leaving for dinner, there was a hot apple pie cooling on the counter. I couldn't wait to come home and trust me, it was deelish! The next morning, we walked into the dining room and was served a full breakfast. The morning hostess was cheerful and made sure we always had hot coffee in our cups. She was another welcomed presence during our stay. So why the 4 stars? This isn't a white glove, impeccable establishment. The cast iron tub was a nice touch but getting in and out of the tub was challenging. There are 3 tight parking spots on the side of the building, if they're taken then you'll need to park on the street. The Pig Hill is an quaint, older Bed & Breakfast in the center of beautiful Cold Spring. The hospitality alone is worth the stay, it was the highlight of our vacation.

    We had a lovely weekend stay here. The place is so charming and the owner is very nice. It's also perfectly located in cold spring for a nice weekend in the town. We had the breakfast on one morning (blueberry pancakes for my dining partner and an omelet for me) and we were very happy with it. We will stay here again.

    I'm really not someone who ever leaves reviews, but anyone who is currently or soon-to-be staying at the Pig Hill Inn, please know that there are bedbugs at least in the Mountain Vista room on the third floor. I received what I thought were mosquito bites all throughout the weekend of June 20-23 (2024), but the morning of my checkout, I saw a bedbug crawling on the bed (photo attached) and the telltale sign of a blood spot on the sheets. I alerted the front desk in person, and they offered me a $50 refund. They have since ignored all email requests for a full refund, even after I re-sent photos of the bug and all my bites in the last 48 hours. I am now having to quarantine, treat, and/or throw away my belongings altogether to hopefully prevent an infestation in my home.

    Cozy, lovely, and conveniently located. A perfect oasis in Cold Spring. We had a very comfortable stay here and it was located right on Main Street steps away from many shops and restaurants. The accommodations were charming and the complementary breakfast was enjoyed. Staff were courteous and kind, especially Dave and Vera.

    We had a really enjoyable stay at the Pig Hill Inn this week on a quiet Monday evening. We met both Dave and Vera who were friendly and approachable and felt our time here was peaceful and private. We bumped into other guests maybe a couple of times during our stay but the innkeepers did an amazing job in terms of covid safety guidelines. No more than 2 sets of guests at a time were seated for breakfast, allowing enough space and time for all the guests to enjoy leisurely breakfast in peace. The inn is in an older building with lots of antique-y touches but we never felt like there was sanitation issue. Our room was clean and there was hand sanitizer available in the room too. We drove up with our car and had no problem with parking - there are spots right outside of the inn's sunroom where breakfast is served. We stayed in Tranquility room with a magnificent four poster king sized bed with a canopy, wood burning fireplace, and amazing jacuzzi tub. It was such a special treat. Tub was perfect to soak in after walking around town. We made hot chocolate from the ground floor pantry and brough the cups to our room, resting them on top of the fireplace kept them warm while we enjoyed the fire. The inn is right across the street from Cold Spring Apothecary (love the scented candles and skin care products), which was closed on Monday and Tuesday, but it's another favorite spot of ours whenever we are in Cold Spring. The location of the inn is perfect for exploring a small and charming town of Cold Spring. We had great breakfast of fresh croissants, fruits, omelet with asparagus and ham, and blueberry pancakes with bacon. Coffee and orange juice. The room is gorgeous in the morning, with abundant light flowing through the glass. Overall, we had a lovely stay at this charming inn and will surely come back when we are next in town, perhaps in another room to taste each room's quirky charm!

    My parents and I had such a wonderful stay here over the weekend. They graciously accommodated the 3 of us in one room and added a cot/fold up bed which was very comfy! The whole inn is so cozy and we loved sitting and reading/chatting by the fire and there are also board games/cards you can borrow which we loved. Breakfast was delish and the greenhouse you eat in is stunning! Vera is so kind, welcoming, and helpful, will definitely stay here again! Also the baked goods in the afternoon was the best surprise

    My friends and I ended up here after our Airbnb fell through at the last minute. While in Flowercup Wine explaining what happened to us the owner told us she knew Vera the owner of the Pig Hill Inn across the street and would give her a ring to see if anything was available. Keep in mind this was Saturday at 5pm. Next thing you know Vera drove over and met us. She gave us a tour of the rooms available. Vera couldnt have been more friendly, welcoming, kind, caring and hospitable. We took two rooms and both were charming and had everything we needed. We were also treated to a delicious breakfast in the morning. The next day Vera checked to make sure we slept well and had everything we needed. She is simply the best. I urge you to stay here. You will not be disappointed!

    This is a quaint inn with a fantastic location in Cold Spring. Lots of great hiking trails nearby. The breakfasts were fantastic, with several options each day. The staff was warm and accommodating, as they allowed us to use their refrigerator and ice machine freely. I would stay here again

    Lemon cake! They always have a yummy treat here in the afternoons.

    Just stayed here for the second time and still love it as much as the first. My partner and I came here to get away from NYC during the COVID-19 pandemic and Pig Hill In did not disappoint. The eclectic/vintage/farmhouse decor is cute as ever and sets a calming tone for the stay. We were in the Danish Blue room which was beautiful. Our breakfast of egg and asparagus omelette was an awesome treat. One thing I love most however is that the staff allow you to hold your bags there after you check out, and there is always something freshly baked as well as a tea bar to relax and unwind. We will be staying here every time we come to town!

    Biscuits, toast, and waffle please

    More like Pig Hill (w)Inn.. For me, giving five stars really means that the establishment has gone above their obligation to ensure that I, as a guest, enjoyed my time there. Considering that this was a bed and breakfast, the fact that this was the case was indeed quite the treat. We arrived later in the evening for Cold Spring (~11pm) and the person in charge had left a key for us to enter AND there was freshly baked apple pie in the kitchen! Not sure if the baked goods are to be expected, but we sure felt lucky. We stayed on the third floor in the 'Mountain View' room, which had a four poster bed and a view of Main Street (as well as the mountains..now I get it) with a shared hall bathroom with the other two rooms on that floor. The bathroom was a shower with a tub, but from looking at other rooms online there are definitely options for a private bathroom with a bath tub as well (because honestly, what more could you want?). There is also a complimentary breakfast offered that one can choose to partake of either inside their room or inside the indoor garden patio. I recommend the patio, it is very greenhouse-esque. There is also an outdoor area that would be lovely in the spring or summertime. In November there was still snow on the ground, which made staying inside but still being able to view the outside terrain very cozy. My personal favorite part of our stay was the living room area of the bed and breakfast. There is a fire place (pictured) and board games and magazines for use of the guests at any time. There is also a little bar where you can get a glass of wine or a beer while lounging fireside. We were invited to help ourselves to a cup of tea or coffee while we were waiting for our train and just sat by the fire and read some local papers. Be sure to sign their guest book while you are there and let them know where you are visiting from. Thank you Vera and Dave and the rest of the staff at Pig Hill Inn! We felt very welcome and at home. Hope to return soon and bring you a pig from a far away land.

    Incredible. Really love this place--took the boyfriend here this past weekend for his birthday. We stayed in the Tranquility Room, and it was beautiful! The place is charming and warm, small in that cozy kind of way (but not cramped). We were greeted by Dave, who proceeded to give us a tour, immediately offered us apple pie and tea (which we devoured in the lovely greenhouse dining area), then took us up to our room. And what a room! The four poster bed with the swaths of gauzy cloth, the chilled bottle of bubbly, the wood burning stove, the huge bathroom with the 2-person Jacuzzi...amazing. The room (and all the other rooms...we peeked around during the weekend) is much bigger than we expected, and the other rooms were so prettily done, each appointed with its own charming character. The best part for us was breakfast. Pig Hill gives its guests an option of having breakfast either in the greenhouse room or having it brought to them at the time they request (we did this both mornings...it was sooo indulgent and lovely). The food came fresh, hot, and delicious--we didn't want to get out of bed after eating! The town is quiet, quaint, and full of antique and craft shops and art galleries. There are a couple of good restaurants here, but the main point is, this B&B fulfills what its guests seek---pampering, comfort, and indulgence. We can't wait to be back!

    We booked a mid-week overnight trip to Cold Spring, staying at the Pig Hill Inn, hoping to escape the city for 24 hours while being pampered at a quaint inn. However, it was not the romantic little getaway that we had anticipated. We arrived around 1230 and had expected to leave our overnight bag at the property while we were out. Vera, the owner, told us that our room was ready, so we popped in and put our carry-on inside. She gave us a key to the room, and one to the Inn in case no one was there to let us back in. We returned about 5pm and sure enough no one was there. We went to our room and noticed quite a few things that were broken or dirty. There were 2 chairs, one of which could not be used because the arm was completely cracked. A ceiling light fixture was hanging down in the bathroom. The trim on the shower door was falling off and covered in mold and mildew. There were cobwebs. And even a dead bug smashed and left on the bathroom wall. And the room had more than one layer of dust on its baseboards and door hinges. The shower head was corroded making the water all but trickle out of it. But the worst part of it all, no one else was staying at the inn that night, not even the innkeeper. We were left alone in a strange house in a dirty room that was in disrepair. In all fairness, we were told by Vera to call if we needed anything, but it's highly doubtful that they would have come back to the inn that night to make repairs and to clean. We chalked it up to Covid perhaps causing the innkeepers to lose business and thus being low on cash flow to make the repairs. However, upon checking out the morning of October 29th, Vera told me that they had been incredibly busy and even showed me that their calendar was full. That was her reason for having no one stay at the inn with us that Thursday night, she needed a break. Also, her co-worker had hurt his back, so he was unable to stay as well. The more I thought about it, the angrier I had become. We had just paid almost $200 to stay in a dirty and decrepit room and all the owner could basically say was that she needed a little respite. So I had written her an email from my train ride home explaining everything. She called and cried to me saying that she was sorry, but she did nothing to make it right. No partial refund, no credit voucher for a return stay...nothing. She had eye surgery a few weeks back and Dave had hurt his back. That was her excuse. We had a decent breakfast in our room that morning. And we were certainly ALONE. The Pig Hill Inn is in a fantastic location, however we won't ever be going back.

    See all

The Few room is similarly decorated with beautiful antique wooden furniture as well as a small library including historical texts about the room's namesake William Few. Despite its retro ambiance, it did not lack for modern conveniences. The room itself is quite spacious, more than enough for two people, and it has all the amenities you would expect including a large comfortable bed, a TV, water heater, and supplies to make tea. Every morning, we were offered breakfast which was served in a ornately decorated dining room and consisted of a tasty fruit salad as well as freshly baked croissants, scrambled eggs, fresh orange juice, and coffee. This was delicious way to start off the day that we looked forward to everyday. The best part of our stay was getting to interact with the owners. Throughout our stay we were well taken care of by Lynn. She was always available if we needed help and offered tips about what to see and do in Beacon. Overall, I highly recommend the Chrystie House for anyone looking to stay overnight in Beacon.

    As the summer was on its last legs and with a busy fall at work right around the corner, I wanted…read moreto get away. With a little luck, I managed to book a room for two nights during Labor Day weekend with only about a week's notice at the Botsford Briar. I found it on the internet, having never before been to Beacon, a little escape I had planned because of hiking, kayaking, the Dia: Beacon, the boat to tour Bannerman Castle, and Main Street were all within walking distance. I arrived quite early on Saturday via train and headed up to Main Street. I had a kayaking tour reservation and had planned to do that before checking in at Bostford Briar. However, when there was some miscommunication and the tour left without me, the folks at Mountain Top outdoor store called the proprietors of the Botsford Briar (yeah, it's that small of a town) to see if I could check in early. And all was well; they were happy to take me early. My room was ready and I headed over...and up the rather steep hill of High Street. Charlie met me halfway up the hill and insisted on taking my bag the rest of the way. The house is charming and looks just as it does on the website photo. Inside, it's filled with curiosities on the first floor. I met Shirley there too. Throughout my stay, she and Charlie were wonderful. They took the time to try to find an alternate kayaking solution for me, suggested restaurants, went to the trouble of having my breakfast ready quite early on my last morning there since I had to leave before the normal time, etc. I stayed in the Wisteria Room, which was lovely. The bed was comfy. There were a couple of chairs as well as a table with two dining chairs with bottles of water on a tray. In case it was needed, there was an AC unit. Lots of sunlight could come in through the generous windows (though you could pull curtains and shades too). Wifi was free. The TV wasn't a flat screen, but I didn't watch it so, who really cares? The room had wonderful charm and was clearly lovingly decorated. The bathroom was a private one down the hall. However, they've thoughtfully added a curtain one can pull to really make that whole wing private (so you don't feel odd walking to the bathroom in your pajamas; nobody can see you). I loved the claw foot tub and had a nice soak each night. It was a large bathroom with nice towels and was meticulously clean. I spent a good portion of both evenings watching the sunset on the beautiful shared deck out back. It's at the top of High Street and you can see down and across the Hudson River. It's beautiful and a wonderful quiet spot (or a place to chat with other guests, as I did the second evening). Also shared for the guests is a small room with a fridge, cupboard (thoughtfully stocked with glasses, wine glasses, corkscrews, etc.), and a single serving coffee maker for anything you wanted to make or store yourself. Breakfast was quite generous. There was one freshly baked (and still warm!) item each day along with other breads, a fantastic fruit plate, juice, and coffee. The only thing I would have added would have been a hard boiled egg or something so that I could get in a little protein. But with what was provided, I really wasn't lacking at all in nourishment. It's brought to your room at your chosen time on a tray. The location is great. It's easy walking distance to the train station, Dia: Beacon, boat launch, and Main Street. It's within walking distance of a trail head for hiking as well though you should know that it's a long hike in itself up Main Street to reach it. I'm so glad I came to Botsford Briar to get away. It's so clear how much love (and personal talent/handiwork) Charlie and Shirley have put into the place. And they really take pride in making it a wonderful retreat. I wouldn't be surprised if I found myself back there again when weary of the city.

    This b&b is close to Main Street and the Dia which was a huge plus…read more The room was clean, bathroom not moldy.

The morning breakfast spread had coffee, juice, pastries and fruit, none of which were of the best quality. I only met Charlie who was friendly and very helpful. I spoke to a woman who I believe is the owner by phone while booking and when we were likely to arrive after their 9pm time limit and our phone personalities did not mesh well.
