Outside needs a paint job (we visited in June, so winter weather was no excuse.). Business office in the kitchen was a mess. Open storage spaces/closets fiilled with old stuff. Great food can make or break a B&B, and it was so disappointing (cold, stale pancakes, cold sausage, unripe fruit) that we went elsewhere for breakfast the second day. People were nice, location was good, but we thought it was overpriced for the quality.

When we checked in, we were greeted warmly. I really appreciated help with my bag up the somewhat steep & narrow stairs. (No elevator - so keep that in mind if you come to stay.) Bed was firm, bathrooms were spotless, extra pillows in the closet are sealed in plastic, bedding all super fresh. Phone chargers next to the bed & sofa(bed) & solid wifi made this quaint & cozy room connected. Full length mirror, hair dryer & an iron & ironing board were much appreciated. Our 2nd floor room was very quiet & the blackout drapes on all windows plus the split ac & heat controls made everything adjustable for a perfectly cavelike environment. Hello solid night's sleep! A small fridge in the room had little Coffeemate creamers for the in-room coffee maker, but there is always a coffee & tea station downstairs too. The town is literally across the street! The Baseball Hall of Fame & the Farmers Museum are both a block & a half away, and in between are several spirits shops, baseball stores, restaurants and a bakery. Breakfast is 8am-9:30am & it is a nice offering: Oatmeal packets, cold cereals & milk Sausage & pepper frittata - custardy! Corn muffins (a must try!) Yogurts Fruit salad Heidelberg wheat, raisin & sunflower seed bread slices (& toaster) Coffee & tea station Orange, ruby grapefruit & cranberry juices Jams, butter, & condiments If you're coming to town & prefer a close stay to the sights here, & a smaller inn experience, this is the place to be! The inn has a selection of cycling-related accessories to purchase also.

The beautiful old Victorian style home exceeded expectations. Such character and charm with a modem updated bathroom ensuite. But the best part of the stay is breakfast. Samantha is a great chef. Whether the baked treats or farm fresh egg breakfasts she does not disappoint. I encourage you to ask to see the chickens. They even surprised our son with a chocolate treat for his birthday from a local chocolate shop. We highly recommend staying here for your trip to Cooperstown. If you like old charming homes and delicious breakfast this place is for you.

We got two rooms for the five of us -- Sara and Desiree's Room -- which certainly provided enough space. We even had an extra bed for the sixth person who stayed elsewhere and Patty graciously extended breakfast to him! The Stay was a quick five minute ride downtown to where our event was held in Cooperstown at the Hall of Fame. And we were well prepared after enjoying the family-style hearty, filling, home made breakfast. After calling each place in the area (well in advance) I can confidently recommend The Rose & Thistle as a great choice.

The Barnwell Inn checks off all the boxes you want in a B&B, or hotel, for that matter. The room -…read moreand bed - is comfortable. The room was serviced everyday, including new towels. There were a sufficient number of outlets for all the electronic charges, et cetera, the A/C worked fine, the TV had a digital cable package, it had a mini-fridge, and the bathroom was big enough to accommodate two people. The location was convenient - two blocks away from Main Street, so it was quiet, but only about an 8 minute walk into town, including the Hall of Fame (baseball, for all you coming to town for the opera). Three different churches are about five minutes away by walking, and there was sufficient parking at the Barnwell, even with a full house. Mark and Tara were outstanding hosts. Very personable, with good senses of humor. Attention to service was evident with all the "special" things done for breakfast for various guests (this reviewer included). Example: When the Keurig was broken a replacement was purchased within twelve hours. Yes, coffee is provided 24/7. Tara was an outstanding 'concierge' with recommendations of restaurants and the local area. Mark has an obvious passion for cooking, evidenced by the quality of the breakfasts (as well as the amount of food we had!). Anyone who will buy andouille sausage via mail order to ensure a good quality pays attention to the little details. Three days, three breakfasts, and nothing was repeated. Bottom Line: Whatever you expect out of a stay at a bed & breakfast will be exceeded at the Barnwell Inn.

I wasn't looking forward to the trip until I had my first contact, through Tara, with the Barnwell Inn. She and her husband Mark make you feel like welcome guests from your first inquiry about reservations until your final day at the Inn. They are a truly gracious couple! After we made reservations, Tara provided us with recommendations of things to do in the area as well as places for lunch and dinner. She also offered to make reservations for us. All of her suggestions were excellent. The Hall of Fame wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, although I didn't feel the need to visit for a second day. Tara recommended the Fennimore Art Museum, and I spent an enjoyable morning exploring there. The Inn is in a lovely home in a quiet neighborhood, and is only a few blocks from the HOF, shops and restaurants. Cooperstown is a great town for walking. One of the best parts of staying at the Barnwell Inn is the breakfast. It is presented beautifully, and the food is out-of-this-world good! Our stay at the Barnwell Inn was one of the best lodging experiences we've ever had. I'm even looking forward to a return trip to Cooperstown! There appear to be other lovely inns and b&b's in Cooperstown, but there is no need to look beyond the Barnwell Inn.

Certain weekends/events in Cooperstown can have Main B&B booked solid without an early reservation. Prices vary per season and the events taking place in town. This B & B is located within walking distance to downtown - leave your car parked at the B & B. Street parking and lot parking is available. I parked on the street many times staying here and had no problem. There are three different bedrooms to rent with your own private bathroom in each room. Bedrooms have hardwood floor with floor rugs. Breakfast is served between 8 and 9am, and Susan is a wonderful cook. I have always enjoyed her dishes. They provide you a front door key to enter the house after "closing" time, and you are also provided a key to your bedroom. This B & B is not handicap accessible - all bedrooms are on the second floor. Stairs wrap around and are only wide enough for those who may need to use crutches or a cane. This is an old Victorian style home, decorated beautifully providing you a warm welcome during your stay in Cooperstown. I have stayed here twice, and I highly recommend the Main Street B & B.

Our room, bathroom, and the entire bed and breakfast were extremely clean which is so important. Lastly, the breakfasts that Sue serves to her guests each morning are absolutely phenomenal!!!

There are no elevators - so be ready to carry your luggage. Also I'm not sure how great the AC is - this is a historic Mansion - I'm taking wood windows with chains. It really made me reminisce of my childhood home. The bed was very comfy and I slept with the windows open for cool breeze. I opted out of breakfast as it seemed carb heavy - per recommendation went to the diner around the corner- so good! Front desk staff is charming- the other staff (maids staff) is... interesting. It's not the four seasons but I did enjoy the personality and charm of this property and it seems like they are adding some more to it! Definitely worth the visit !
