    • Minimum stay: 2 nights minimum stay, Summer, Fall & Holiday weekends

    • Deposit amount required: One night's deposit for each room will hold your reservation and balance is due upon arrival.

Cancellations made less than 14 days prior to the arrival date, will be issued a “Credit Certificate,” with the following exceptions: We regret that we are unable to issue credit for cancellations on “Holiday” or “Special Event” weekends. No calls/no shows will be billed for the full stay.

    My husband and I were navigating the Internet...hoping to come upon a lovely B&B near or in Herkimer. After coming across Portobello B&B;we read numerous reviews before we made our decision to stay the weekend!!! Every review was so very positive...how could we not make our reservations! The InnKeeper, Roland greeted us at the door;warm and gracious he showed us to our room. The Inn is very tastefully decorated and you immediately felt "at home"the moment you walked in!!! The breakfast was yummy and left us very satisfied! There wasn't anything negative about our stay and hope to visit Roland and his partner Steve again!!!

    My husband and I stayed at the Portobello for four days, and had a very good experience. Roland and the other two gentlemen were very helpful with recommendations and information about the area, and the food was excellent. The seating arrangement at breakfast facilitated conversations among the guests, which was pleasant. The Inn's location in Herkimer was perfect for what we wanted to do in the area. We highly recommend the Portobello.
