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

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. Roland met us at the door and took care of every wonderful detail for our whole stay, including yummy cookies, and very serious double chocolate brownies. 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

Roland was exceptionally accomodating for my son and I. He made a point of knowing exactly our likes and dislikes before even arriving. Our first breakfast is one we still talk about as he made a 10 year old feel special with his name in pancakes. The forethought of having explicit directions to area locations were provided and fresh oatmeal... More
