Best to communicate with your Innkeeper. Expectations can only be met if they are comunicated. Sometimes a poor review has nothing to do with the staff or the property.

While my stay was quite short and we didn’t even spend the night, we loved every second of our visit. We were greeted warmly and shown around this nostalgic home with the breathtaking view. Perfect, comfortable and welcoming. If you have the chance to stay, you will not regret it. A+ all around.

We regret that currently as a result of the covid-19 pandemic we are serving mostly organic breakfast in a bag Oatmeal, energy bar, juice and fresh fruit as we can not comply with the current dining CDC guidelines . Our Covid inspired breakfast has been well received by most guests as you can enjoy it anytime and anywhere. Always best to check with the Innkeeper to insure that we are a good match for your expectations.

Beautiful and Clean but beware of issues
Pros: Very clean, very friendly staff, nice balcony, breakfast was good. Cons: Extremely tight parking spots, not enough parking spots had to ask the owners son to move a car so I can park on Saturday, dog freely walks around and jumps on guests not on a leash even when we ask the owner to hold the dog she "calls" the dog and waits for him to come to her which he does not always do, no wifi or TV. Haven't had service since August 3rd and never mentioned it on the website or contacted me by email. False advertising because I paid a lot and these crucial services were not available and they knew of this issue for weeks. I asked for compensation and was offered $20 a night which in my opinion was not nearly enough. On the 2nd night, we asked were services restored they said no but they lent us a Hotspot router that we used our Netflix account on. To set up the router, we had to leave our room for 15min and the owner gave us a glass of champagne for the inconvenience. Too many issues. Overall: Beautiful place, very historic. Would not stay here again because they knew well in advance that these services were not available and did not tell us until check in. By then it was too late for me to cancel and find another place to stay. Also, its not professional to have a dog running around and not mention that on the website either. I ended up hitting my car while backing up into the rock wall of the parking area. Everyone should be aware of these issues BEFORE booking.

Thank you for appreciating our beautiful, historic, very clean establishment and our "at your service friendly staff". Internet / TV service was interrupted on Aug 26th due to a neighbor’s fallen tree. Every day the cable company promised to restore the service and arrived with the wrong equipment. It was finally restored on Aug 30th. In summery - we did everything humanely possible to make accommodations for unforeseen circumstances. Including providing a hot spot to watch Netflix. Provided several complementary servings of wine / champagne. We also made a special trip to the market to get apple juice at your request. To others reading this review – this is a family business we have 3 guest rooms with private bathrooms. One on each floor. We share our historic home with guests. We have a young 25 Lb. white poodle therapy dog who is introduced to guests at check in. No one is allergic as he has hair not fur and he is trained to follow the Innkeeper around the house. Expedia the parent company of hotels.com that booked the reservation that resulted in this review; told us that this guest had asked for refunds for services rendered in seven (7) of her last reservations in other establishments. This pattern of behavior is refund abuse.

Dierdre was a great hostess and was the perfect balance of friendly and respectful of our space. Her house is well situated with Cold Spring Harbor State Park literally in her backyard and a fifteen minute walk from town. She put time and detail into making her space welcoming and comfortable, providing coffee, tea, organic fruit, and wine in the foyer. We had issues with internet on our last night because a large tree had fallen on/near the property but otherwise had no complaints. We highly recommend staying at the Harbor Rose and look forward to coming back, ourselves!

Thank you so much for the lovely review - the tree that fell was adjoining property owner's tree and took out our internet service - it has since been restored but the cable company was overwhelmed with storm damage - so it took longer then expected - thanks for understanding and we look forward to hosting you again soon.

New Years Eve at the Harbor Rose
I went to celebrate New Years Eve at the Oheka Castle in New York. The rooms there were sold out since I planned this trip the last minute. So, I found the Harbor Rose bed and breakfast, a nearby Inn,online. The photos are accurate. I am so glad that I stayed there. A very pleasant New Year's Eve Celebration followed by a New Year's Eve breakfast with a lovely hostess and her guests.

Could use some work
The staff were extremely friendly but the place could use some work. Not sure if it was because I booked through hotels.com, or availability, but I was given a first floor room by the front door/front hall. It was a beautiful room but could hear every sound in the hallway, so was woken at midnight when people were coming home, and at 5:30 the other morning from an early riser making coffee. Also the gluten free breakfast was poor, for those with a gluten intolerance, better off going to town.

Cute spot in cold spring harbor
The drive up and outside of The Harbor Rose was very cute and scenic, great location on the harbor. The room was very clean. The house is over 200 years old, which was a bonus for us, but did provide a few quirks with temperature regulation and noise. Overall though, it was a good experience and I would go back for sure.

Lovely Spot
The Harbor Rose is very conveniently located if you’re visiting Sagamore Hill and environs. The hostess is very friendly and attentive. She called when we were en route, asked about what kind of dining options we were considering and made some suggestions that were spot on. The old steam heating system in the house was a bit hard to control so our room was a bit warm (but that’s better in my book than a bit cold). Breakfast was delicious. I would stay there again if I find myself on that part of Long Island. Speaking of which the local towns are full of great places to eat and drink!

Over-priced and bug problem
We received a warm welcome and tour from the owner, but were sprayed with some kind of scent by her daughter. We overlooked that, but then night got a little worse. Parking was difficult because of the large hill and stone wall. Then we kept seeing stinkbugs enter the room by the bed end table. The owner came in to retrieve them, but we were not comfortable sleeping there and left. We saw a dead one in a lampshade, so this is an on-going problem. When we contacted the owner the next day, she was unresponsive. Hotels.com contacted her, as well, and she refused any type of compensation. Luckily, Hotels.com offered a $100 credit, which I appreciate.

We are an organic non-toxic household set in the woods along the sea shore and we are pesticide free.. When there is a warm snap in winter the slow moving lazy stink bugs show up and we often get lady bugs in the spring. They are harmless and prefer the top floor rooms. We remove them when notified. If you prefer to be exposed to toxic chemicals, best to book elsewhere.

Romantically beautiful without being cutesy
Thoroughly lovely experience from top to bottom. The vintage home has the perfect mix of period ambiance and modern convenience. The healthy and delicious fare at breakfast was equal parts familiar and interesting. The staff was appropriately helpful without being in the way or hovering. I thought having the bathroom down the hall would be a penance, but it was not an issue at all, and I never had to wait to use it. The view across the harbor from the bed, with the twinkling lights of the Cold Spring Harbor laboratory, and the clapboard church and fish hatchery in the distance, could not have provided a better backdrop for a romantic getaway. Our room had a working fireplace, which completed the idyllic scene.

No bath in room
There was no private bath in the room. There was a powder room in the outer hallway and a full one a flight up. The room description is not honest and I can't believe I paid over $200 to USE A HALL BATHROOM. Otherwise the property is clean and well maintained, and my room was comfortable. The people were nice and well-meaning but I was a little weirded out by the owner greeting me with a hug and "welcoming me home."

If you are seeking and in room bathroom - book the Vanderbilt room the other rooms have baths in the hall as in a traditional home. The house is nearly 200 years old, so plumbing was an afterthought. Always best to check with the Innkeeper before making your room selection to be sure its a good fit for your travel needs. My apologizes, for the warm welcome, as guest in a true B&B you are a guest in the Innkeepers home.

Like many B&B's, an older style Victorian era building with a home away from home, non-corporate atmosphere, situated on the outskirts of quaint village, Cold Spring Harbor. The Garden Room where I stayed, a first floor room built off the side of the house and windowed on two walls, lacked full privacy due to the sliding panel doors that closed it off. A clear moon lit night would make room darkening difficult. That said, it was a comfy room with good climate control options. Did not have an in-suite bathroom, but had access to a half bath downstairs, near my room on the first floor, and also shared access to an upstairs shower. Older homes just didn't a lot of bathrooms. Breakfast was continental rather the full meal I've experienced at all the other B&B's visited. Coffee by Keurig, so sub par if you want a robust cup of jo. Free wine (no license), along with a well equipped living room and outdoor porches to enjoy your glass. Drinking water provided in room decanter had a metallic taste to it and staff was quick to replace it.

a very expensive disappointment
a B&B without the breakfast--really a room in a private home, no TV in the room, bathroom down the hall and tub/shower down the hall and up a flight of stairs. My room was a converted porch, hardly a "garden room" at an outrageous cost. . Nice owner but hardly a cause for the rate. portable heater and portable air conditioner with overhead fan were the amenities in the room. One morning I got a muffin from Trader Joe's. All this at the rate of a 4 star hotel. Hard to believe!!!

Great Place in Cold Springs Harbor
Our stay at the Harbor Rose was extremely enjoyable. Deidre, the proprietor, is very cooperative and helped us with our various needs within the house and regarding the local sites. Everything was very comfortable (bathroom, shower, use of items from her kitchen) and the snack-food items that she provides are wonderful (organic fruits, large choice of hot drinks (coffees, teas, cider, etc.). The location of the home is just great, with a nice view of Cold Springs Harbor and its being just a short walk or drive to the heart of this small quaint town and its shops and park along the water.
