What People are saying
Huge breakfast, sauna, hot tub, and massage
chrisnyaolon 14/12/2016 18:31Very friendly host Chris goes out of her way to please. Breakfast is your choice of basically anything. Eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, omelettes, fruits, cereal, yogurt, multiple breads, fresh brewed coffee, tea, multiple juices. The sauna and hot tub are extremely clean and the massage room is very tranquil. My wife and I both received massages at a discounted rate as guests and we both agree Chris's technique is far better than any other treatments we have had elsewhere on out many vacations. The common areas are beautiful with many antiques as are the bedrooms. We try to make it a 3 night every year or so for some much needed R&R.
Delightful getaway!
mnbnycon 28/08/2016 06:03We booked two nights here and were delighted with the place, the hosts, the fellow guests, the food and the surroundings. It was striking distance to Glimmerglass and gave us the chance to see some of the countryside and historic sites in between the two. The inn is decorated 'to the nines', and you could spend a lifetime looking at all the little details and period pieces they have. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise, as it was not at a fixed time, but according to your schedule, and according to your choices of food. The resident pets are lovely and friendly, and the hosts are also very pleasant, and most interesting. As if running a B&B weren't time consuming enough, we were fascinated to learn that Chris runs half marathons all over the country in her spare time, and there is a little 'trophy case' in the dining room with her dozens and dozens of medals. Because of the spa services, there is also a sauna, hot tub and treadmill available for guests. The player grand piano is a nice touch and wonderful for atmosphere, and you may want to ask about the '6 beer tub'! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.
Great B&B
Joanne Von 20/06/2016 17:28We stayed at the Bellinger Rose B&B for two nights while visiting Herkimer NY. The owners, Chris and Leon, are the best hosts. They make you feel right at home. We stayed in the Victorian Rose Room and it was very nicely appointed, comfortable and quiet. Your stay also includes a cooked to order breakfast. You fill out a sheet the night before with what you want and what time you want it. We loved having those breakfast options available to us. The grounds are nicely kept and you can sit out back in the peaceful yard or on the shaded porch. The kitties, Ben and Jerry, are adorable and very friendly as is Ashley the Wheaton Terrier. The Ace of Diamonds mine (which was the focal point of our trip) is 15 minutes away from the B&B. This is a very beautiful part of NY state and there is much to see and do here. In addition, Chris is a licensed massage therapist so we treated ourselves to a couples massage and it felt great especially after breaking rock all day at the mine! All in all, we had a very enjoyable stay and I would highly recommend Bellinger Rose B&B.
Great B&B
Brian Fon 15/06/2016 05:05The house is beautiful and the owners are so nice. Breakfast is delicious. If your looking for the perfect stay, look no further. Charming Victorian home that just screams relaxation. We were going to the baseball hall of fame and were so glad we found this place
Very relaxing
saphyresson 07/06/2016 01:44We visited the area to go to the Herkimer Diamond Mines, and were very pleased with the Bellinger's proximity to there as well as the Canal Cruises, food etc. Leon and Chris were very personable and friendly without being too pushy. The breakfast was great and very easy to customize every day. The whole house was gorgeous, obviously well cared for and the dishes were exquisite. We stayed in the Heritage Rose room and were very pleased with it, the closet was huge, big enough to put suitcases etc in. The AC was great as it was pretty warm when we were there. One night we sat out back at the fire pit with the owners as well as another very nice couple, great way to relax! There was a sauna, treadmill and hottub available, though we did not use them this time, we will in the future! Their dog and cats were friendly but not too pushy, just adorable. We will definitely come back next time we want to go back to the mines :)
