We had just gotten married at Beardslee Castle in Little Falls. A friend recommended Bellinger Rose as it was close and she had a wonderful time there on her wedding night. My husband and I were very pleased. The decor is beautiful and the room was just perfect. We loved the mattress and jacuzzi. The hot tub, which we were able to access at any hour of the day, was a truly enjoyable experience. Crystal also gives massages and she gave the best I ever received. We're already talking about going back for our anniversary!

My fiancee and I just returened from a great adventure weekend of doing new activities together in the Catskill region, one of which included staying at bed and breakfast establishments in the place of the chain hotels we tend to gravitate toward. This was probably one of the best things we could have done. Although this was not the first B and B we stayed in (the first was two nights earlier) I wish it was, for we would have instantly fell inlove with the B and B way two days earlier. Chris and Leon (and Ashley, Teddy, and Sunny) made us fell right at home within second of comming through the door. The house is beautiful and has a warm "at home" feeling that the previous B/B lacked. Our room was better then expected, the bathroom was beautiful (original wainscott walls and tiles). My fiancee enjoyed an hour massage from chris (she said its well worth the trip again) and the next morning we enjoyed a delicious home made breakfast with the other guests before starting our trip home. Chris and Leon are the most wonderful hosts and have created a very inviting place to rest your head and relax. We will definately be staying with them again in the future, as we feel they have done everything right

My husband and I stayed at the Bellinger Rose after our October 2008 wedding. We were disappointed that we were unable to go on a larger, more extravagant honeymoon but the Romantic Getaway package made up for it! We stayed in the Crimson Rose room and it was divine! It just happened to co-ordinate with my wedding colors which was really neat. The bed itself was heavenly - it must be Tempurpedic and after such an eventful day it was wonderful to just sink into the mattress. I loved the in-room fireplace - so romantic! And we both enjoyed having a Jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Breakfast each morning was spectacular and sumptuous and Chris & Leon were lovely hosts. I admit, we spent most of our weekend in the room but the rest of the house is really nice. I adore all things Victorian so it was a treat to look over all the books and curios in the parlor and listen to the piano play. The backyard is very sweet, a nice place to sit and take in the beauty of the area Everything about this place is just lovely and we are already planning to go back for one of our anniversaries!

If you are planning to stay anywhere within an hour and a half of here, drive the extra time and stay at Bellinger Rose. My wife and I just spent four nights. We opted for the the "Romantic Stay Package". I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic getaway. We stayed in the Tiffany Rose room which is a large well appointed room with 2 person jacuzzi and gas fireplace. There were beautiful roses and a box of chocolate awaiting us on arrival. The messages were heaven! Highly recommended. Breakfasts were elegantly served on china with fresh fruit garnishes on all dishes. There were endless choices and combinations of freshly prepared food-all delicious. Chris & Leon were excellent hosts. They were always ready with suggestions and directions for places to eat or visit. We found our room tidied up whenever we returned from a daily jaunt and the bed turned down when we returned from dinner. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we added another day to our original 3 day stay and will someday return. Rich & Jackie Newfield, NJ

Chris and Leon are exceptional hosts - they go out of their way to make your stay a very pleaseant and comfortable experience. I travel monthly to New York and staying at Bellinger's is a wonderful change from a hotel. If you are looking for a quiet retreat Bellinger Rose B&B will not disappoint you. Take a good look at the on line phono album and make the decision for yourself - it has all the comforts of home plus Chris will provide you with a wonderful breakfast every morning.

We only stayed 1 night but it left us wishing we could stay longer. Chris and Leon were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Whether it was advice on what to do, where to go, directions, etc. they both offered loads of help. The whole house was absolutely beautiful. We went here for my birthday and after looking at several different places' websites, we came across the picture of the Tiffany Rose room here and I loved it. Then seeing it actually in person when we got there just left me speechless at first...absolutely gorgeous! Loved the jacuzzi and fireplace as well! Of course we can't leave out Teddy and Ashley who were also just so sweet and welcoming. Wonderful stay and my boyfriend and I would love to return sometime!

So, amid the chaos of trying to leave town, we were relieved to be able to book the "Procrastinator's Special" at a B&B called "Bellinger Rose." Who knew how truly lovely our stay would be, and that it would be difficult to leave after 3 nights? As I wrote to Chris and Leon, our wonderful hosts, the experience was a feast for all the senses, from the exquisite Victorian interior decor and gardens, to the delightful player grand piano, to the wafting aroma and lusciousness of breakfast, to the jacuzzi, hot tub, and available professional massage! Chris is a massage therapist, and next time I must avail myself of her skills. And a "next time" I sure hope there will be! (P.S. Chris and Leon have the sweetest pets to enjoy!)

Hello Everyone. If you are ever in the Herkimer area you must at the Bellinger Rose B&B. My Wife and I spent this past weekend at the Bellinger Rose. We spent the weekend at the Herkimer Diamond mines. Chris was a wonderful host, she is a natural for a B&B owner. Great rooms, Outstanding food. The personal touches were fantastic, from our massages, to the little things like home made desserts at the end of a a busy day. Even a backyard campfire where they invited us to join them for the evening ! If you are ever in the Herkimer area, you must pay Chris a visit, it will be worth your while.

What a truly exquisite Victorian B & B the Frosts have created. The interior of this home is masterfully decorated and embellished with a marvelous collection of Victorian items. The gardens and pond provided a lovely setting for outdoor relaxation. We especially appreciated the wonderful hospitality of Chris and Leon. What kind and gracious people they are. They were so helpful in suggesting places to visit and eat and in giving driving directions. The breakfasts were quite delicious with everything prepared to the specific requests of each guest. The fine china and crystal made the meals even more delightful. We highly recommend this B & B; our experience at Bellinger Rose greatly exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed our stay so much that I currently am making a Victorian-style embroidered pillow to send to the Frosts as a thank you gift. Sincerely, Barbara and Jim

We will miss the morning wake up smell of a scrumptious breakfast (which you get to customize yourself the night before on a menu sheet). We will surely miss the jucuzzi tub in the Tiffany room, and the relaxing massages. We truely had an amazing time and look foward to returning very soon!

For the past several summers, we have travelled by boat to a number of locations throughout the New York / Connecticut area. This can pose some challenges, as we have no ground transportation, and from the beginning, we rely on the kindness of our innkeepers to get around. Chris and Leon began our stay by going above and beyond anything we had experienced up to that point, by transporting us to and from the marina, driving us into town for dinner, and offering to pick us up when we were done (we opted to enjoy a very pleasant and manageable walk back). Their facilities are amazing. You are greeted by an antique player piano (and if you're lucky, Teddy and Ashley, the resident wheaton terriers)when you enter their home. Upstairs, are beautifully furnished rooms, with incredibly comfortable beds, plasma t.v., wireless internet and any other amenity you would want. We had casually mentioned that the backyard fire pit would be great for making s'mores, and when we came back from dinner, there was a fire and all the ingredients we needed waiting for us. We went from the backyard to an indoor hot tub, where each of the 4 of us gladly waited our turns for a massage from Chris (she's an RN and licensed massage therapist). Before turning in, we were asked for our preferences for breakfast from a very varied menu. When by wife asked for an herb omelot, Leon went online that night to research a recipe that he executed perfectly. Chris and Leon (and their daughter Lauren who was home for her summer college break)are the most hospitable innkeepers you will ever find, and even though it sounds cliched, they really do make you feel like part of the family. We will be returning very soon, this time by car, and have already recommeded the Bellinger Rose to a number of friends.
