Portobello Inn Bed & Breakfast

We have been staying at Portobello Inn annually for about 15 years when we visit family in the region - because staying here we feel like family! Roland and Steve are warm and gracious hosts. The rooms are clean, the beds comfortable and the house has plenty of comfortable chairs to read in, a piano, antiques and other gift items for sale, delicious breakfasts and did I say how warm and gracious the hosts are? It's conveniently located midway between Herkimer and Little Falls. There is a spacious yard to relax in out back. You'll feel welcome and at home at the Portobello Inn.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Portobello Inn. Roland was extremely accommodating and made us feel like we were home for the four days we stayed. Steve was delightful the one morning he joined us, telling us historical facts about the area and the Inn. It is a beautiful home which has many unique touches, and fantastic door stops. (Inside joke) I can not recommend it more highly.

Even before we arrived I knew we would feel welcomed. Roland and Steve have set the standard very high as thoughtful and accommodating innkeepers. The inn itself is an architectural gem that captured and kept our attention during our all too brief stay. The guest rooms were immaculate and decorated with a lovely mix of new and antique furnishings and decor. The breakfast, prepared by Roland, deserves a five star review of it's own. We don't have occasion to be in the area often, but may have to find a reason to return soon! Lynne & Dan

Portobello offers a comfortable, warm refuge - through both its beautiful, yet cozy, well decorated premises and its friendly, welcoming hosts. Roland's culinary skills are evident in the delicious breakfasts he offers - despite my special dietary restrictions. I love Portobello; it is my home away from home.

we stay with Roland whenever we go upstate, have for years. He is like family by now. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing. This is a special place to stay.
A recent visit was as warm and welcoming as always. Roland and Steve are warn, gracious and interesting hosts. I love staying with them. Breakfasts are excellent and tailored to individual needs. The rooms are lovely, elegant and comfortable.

This is an adorable old home, and was a very peaceful and relaxing long weekend. Roland and Steve are absolutely charming hosts - and the breakfasts were fantastic - the bacon was perfectly cooked every day.

We have fallen in love with the region, and will certainly be back.

We've stayed here several times, and it is always clean, friendly, and with excellent breakfasts. Roland is such a wonderful host! The rooms are nicely decorated, and the rest of the inn is tastefully done, as well. As long as the Portobello is open, we will stay here for our Herkimer vacations.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend of our 22nd wedding anniversary. We were greeted by Roland at the car when we arrived. We arrived very late in the evening and he was very accommodating by meeting us so late. You never once got the impression that this man was dealing with a ton of emotion in his personal life on this weekend. He was dealing with loss and celebration and it never once seeped into his professional demeanor. He asked us what time we'd like to have breakfast served in the morning. We were served a beautiful and delicious breakfast the next morning. The atmosphere was very soothing. The room was clean and cozy and very nicely decorated. There were trains that traveled through nearby and they were actually soothing. There was coffee accessible right outside of our room at all times. We went to search for Herkimer diamonds. Roland offered us some tips on this and actually showed us a few to motivate us. This was wonderful personal service. We met Steve also and he was just as welcoming. The next morning breakfast was just as delicious and beautifully arranged. This is well worth every penny we spent on our stay. We will definitely stay here again. Loved it! Thanks so much Roland and Steve! We appreciate your wonderful hospitality.

The Inn as a whole & each room is beautiful - very well thought out design. There is an antique shop room where you get buy art, books, & other antiques. Mr. Roland & Mr. Steve are wonderful hosts & amazing cooks. They even managed to avoid our food allergies (gluten, dairy, egg, & cane sugar) & made delicious breakfasts.

Steve and Roland are excellent hosts. Breakfast was beyond expectations. To my surprise Golf was included . Looking forward to our next visit!

My husband and I spent our anniversary at the portobello. The beds were beautiful so comfortable the ambiance was great and they made our breakfast according to our eating habits. Great place and great owners.

We highly recommend The Portobello Inn. Our stay was wonderful. Roland accommodated our late arrival. His home cooked breakfasts every morning were a special treat, we especially enjoyed Roland's muffins, they're out of this world! The house is lovely and full of interesting antiques and collectables. Our rooms were charming and comfortable. We had a treat of dining with Steve one morning also, he was a pleasure to talk to and very knowledgeable about the area.
The hospitality of The Portobello Inn stays with you long after you’ve checked out!
Also, a special thanks to you Rolland for checking into Hemstrought's bakery for us so we could buy some of their famous Half moon cookies :)

Great place! Beautiful house with very friendly and professional owners. The breakfast was very delicious and filling. I would definitely go back for another stay.

We absolutely fell in love with this place! We will be back! Very comfortable, amazing and generous breakfasts.

A home away from home.
