    The front entrance of Portobello Inn. Though the history of a house may add to its charm, it is its history as a home which makes the Inn such a wonderful place to visit. Your Innkeeper Roland invites you to enjoy the Portobello experience. As you enter the Inn and step into the grand entrance of our home, it will take you back to a quieter time...but with all the amenities for the 21st Century traveler.
    There are plenty of places both inside and out to relax, catnap or simply stretch out at Portobello Inn. Here in our Parlour, sit and talk with friends, old and new, read a favorite book you brought or choose one from our library. Then cozy up and sit by one of our 3 Victorian marble fireplaces.
    The Vassar room is furnished with a vintage Florentine king bed. As with all our rooms, it has a private bathroom with many fine appointments and amenities including soft, plush robes. The room also has extended channel Cable TV/HBO, a seating area and writing desk, A/C, a CD radio alarm, Homedics soundspa and Wireless Internet access (Wi-Fi).
    The Arlington Room: Affectionately dubbed the "Oriental Room." The special lacquered oriental style Henredon queen bed is designed in the "bamboo style," and the furniture, wicker, mirrors, lamps, art, drapes and other appointments also reflect oriental influences and design. The Arlington Room, as with all of our bedrooms has a private bathroom with many fine appointments and amenities, including soft plush terry robes. The bedroom has extended channel cable TV with HBO, a writing desk and comfortable chair, a CD alarm radio, A/C, Homedics soundspa & Wireless Internet Access (Wi-Fi).

    A Local Oasis

    April 24, 2013

    My wife and I needed a quiet and relaxing getaway... And we found it at Portobello's! The home was a beautiful representation of its Victorian era. It was quiet, Roland and the co-owners were so kind and compassionate and treated us like royalty. The breakfast was divine and abundant and the atmosphere was welcoming and beautiful. We will definitely be visiting Portobello's again!!

    Quick, yet enjoyable stay.

    October 21, 2012

    I came up to the area for a student film shoot in Little Falls. I needed a place for the first night so I decided on the Portobello Inn. The innkeeper Roland was wonderful and extremely helpful. I had originally picked a smaller room, but due to the furnace being broken, I was upgraded to a larger room. It was very nice and spacious with a lovely bathroom. The only downside was that the bed was a bit hard for my taste and the train that ran past the place was very loud at night. I had to leave at 5:30 the next morning and Roland was up and ready to help me with my many bags and kits and send me on my way. On the whole, a very nice place. Very home-y and comfortable. I only wish I could have had some time for breakfast the next day as I have only heard wonderful things about the food there. I definitely recommend the Portobello Inn to anyone going through that area. Very relaxing and a pleasant stay.

    Grand Home in the Mohawk Valley

    October 04, 2012

    This is a wonderful home with very comfortable bedrooms and several sitting areas. We booked an extra night just so we could enjoy time in the home. Would be an ideal gathering place for a small family reunion. The host is Roland Randall and he is very gracious and helpful. This is now an annual stop for us.

Cancellations made less than 14 days prior to the arrival date, will be issued a “Credit Certificate,” with the

    our stay at the Portobello Inn

    August 16, 2012

    When we made our reservations for the Portobello Inn B & B,my husband was not happy. We had been to a few of them and he didn't like them. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left we felt like it was our home.. The hosts were warm and friendly, the place was clean, the food was excellent. My husband and I felt really sad when we left . If you get a chance please try the place it is wonderful. Now my husband wants to try some more B & B,but it's going to be hard to find a place that cam top this one!!! Liz and Dom Grieco

    Just Like Home B&B

    August 15, 2012

    I can not say enough about Roland Randall, the Inn Keeper. He was very attentive, a great cook and hostess. He was there to greet myself and my sister upon our arrival. He made sure we had everything we needed. There was always fresh fruit, snacks and beverages out for his guests. It was a wonderful two days.
