    Hospitality beyond compare

    November 21, 2012

    Patti and Steve are the most gracious of hosts. They spent time upon our arrival giving us directions to all the places of interest in and around Cooperstown, and made suggestions about where to eat (and where not to eat!) The B&B was clean and homey. Our bathroom was a bit small, and the sink was in the bedroom... but that is not unusual in B&B's and was not an issue. Morgan, their Westie, is such a sweet dog and greeted us each time we came and went. Steve created the best breakfasts each morning; coffee, tea and snacks were available in the afternoon. Would not hesitate to recommend a stay here to anyone who like the B&B experience!

    A touch of home in Cooperstown

    November 07, 2012

    Cooperstown is the Baseball Hall of Fame and so much more! The Rose & Thistle B&B provides a wonderful "home" from which to enjoy the festivities. The proprietors help make this cozy place feel so friendly. Shortly after we arrived Patti sat down with us and described in wonderful and animated detail the sights to see (and avoid). Her recommendations were "spot on". Her husband Steve also added to the conversational and culinary experience with breakfasts to drool for. The B&B is close to town providing welcomed convenience. Our room was comfy, albeit a little small for my 6'3" frame. The other couple we stayed with, however, had a spacious room. Enjoy this home-away-from-home and the fun couple hosting your stay.

    Cute and Convenient to HOF

    October 25, 2012

    We stayed one night at the Rose and Thistle while visiting Cooperstown for a HOF pilgrimage. It is located only a 10-15 minute walk from the HOF, so was very convenient in that regard. The facility was very clean, tidy and cute. The rooms are a bit tight, even for a B&B. Our room was nicely furnished, and the bed was quite comfortable. Our hosts, Steve and Patti, were very friendly and helpful. The highlight of our stay was Steve's terrific breakfast. Lots of very high quality, delicious food, and the best, most perfectly cooked bacon I've ever eaten.

    Out for a visit

    October 11, 2012

    The Rose & Thistle was a very nice B&B. We truely enjoyed the support and graciousness of our hosts, Steve and Patti. We would recommend it because of its quaintness, its proximity to Main St and area resturants and the friendle atomsphere.

    one of our favorite places

    October 11, 2012

    This was our second stay at the Rose and Thistle and we have already made reservations to stay for a third time! Patti and Steve are the most friendly, helpful and gracious hosts! They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is just right. The inn is beautiful and the food delicious and Morgan, their dog is the greatest little dog!!! Stay here you will not be disappointed!!

    Wonderful innkeepers

    October 01, 2012

    Though the room and especially the bathroom was smaller than we have normally encountered in our many B&B stays, Steve and Patti's warm hospitality, willingness to help with whatever we wanted to do in Cooperstown and the wonderful breakfast more than made up for it.
