I stayed at Justine and David's with a friend, and was blown away by the place -- exactly the type of cozy bed & breakfast you want for a relaxed break in the countryside. Our room was spacious and uber comfortable, and the bathroom had a giant hottub and came with nice toiletries. There was a DVD player with a selection of DVDs in the hallway, and a little plate of very delicious chocolate next to the bed. Justine greeted us when we arrived with her little daughter, and made us feel right at home. She'd printed out suggestions of restaurants in the area (and as chefs, she and her husband David know what they're talking about!) and also had a little diary of what events were taking place that weekend. The B&B is ideally located near the quaint Saugerties and not far from other cute villages and good hikes. The breakfast was oh so delicious (again, as chefs, they know how to cook), and the dining area faces onto the garden, which itself faces onto a beautiful hill range. Very peaceful. All in all, a great stay and I would recommend this place to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

Barclay Heights B&B at Smythe House is a comfortable, well-located retreat. The atmosphere was friendly and cozy. The innkeepers were helpful and clearly wanted to make our visit as enjoyable as possible without being overbearing. The highlight of the stay were the fabulous breakfasts made to order by the very talented chef/owner David Smythe. It's well worth a visit for the breakfast alone.

In twenty years of going to B & B's I don't recall better breakfasts (taste, quality and quantity are all phenomenal.) The suite is off property at the dead end of a small road and directly on a bend of the Esopus creek. And while it is an attachment to a run of the mill cottage the interior has its own quirky charm and is super-well appointed. While not the most economical, worth the value to us. We look forward to doing it again. PS thanks for the dinner recommendations.

My wife and stayed in the Bird Room at Smythe House and found the room delightful, the large bed extremely comfortable and the furnishings very, very cool. The clean spacious bathroom was airy and big, and the shower, tub and jaccuzi first rate. We have stayed in many bed and breakfast places around the globe, but have never been served a finer meal, by more gracious hosts than at Smythe House. The food was superb, and served by David and Justine, two world class chefs. Be creative in your meal choices as they do it all so very well. Treat yourself and your family to a stay at this fantastic place in Saugerties, in the Catskills. We will certainly return soon and we recommend it heartily

My husband and I stayed in the Bird Room for 2 nights to celebrate our anniversary. The service from Justine and David was among the best we've ever experienced at a B&B. The breakfasts were delicious and a wonderful way to start the day. The room was very clean, but smaller than we anticipated, and the bed was not as comfortable as the advertising led us to believe. The mini refrigerator in the room and the toiletries provided in the bath were nice touches. We would definitely go back again!

We stayed at Barclay for our two-night get away and it was a wonderful experience. The house is beautiful and the hosts Justine and David were outstanding. We loved that we got to choose what time we wanted to eat breakfast and that we got to choose what we wanted from their menu. They offered many choices for vegetarians so that was a nice surprise. I could get used to having my breakfast prepared by professional chefs every day! Barclay is a keeper for us - we will definitely stay there again and recommend it to our friends!

The setting is elegant (although I wasn't sure about the sheepskin wall, but maybe you won't stay in John's room) and the hosts are warm and hospitable to the Nth degree. The service is comparable to the W and the food is comparable to the Four Seasons.. I am in love with the Smythe House and will be coming back very soon. It was so romantic (although the walls are thin, like every BnB), loved the jacuzzi (once we figured out how to use it), my fritatta nearly floated off my plate, it was so light and fluffy, I could go on and on... If you stay here, you will thank me later.

My husband arranged our weekend away as a birthday gift to me. It was the first time we had ever stayed in a B&B . We arrived on a very rainy evening, and we were warnly greeted by Justine. She then proceeded to show us to our room and describe the details and amenities of the house. She even offered to make us dinner reservations! We stayed in the Bird Room. It was beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. Everything was provided for us from soft, fluffy towels and organic, wonderfully smelling shampoos and body wash to homemade chocolates. It was very comfortable, private and quiet. We found everything to be outstanding, but the breakfasts were exceptional. We enjoyed scrumptious egg and pancake dishes with wonderful fresh fruit , fruit smoothies, hot chocolate and mulled apple cider. After eating breakfast each morning, we weren't hungry again until dinnertime! Our hosts, Justine and David were very warm and friendly and we enjoyed informal converstaions with them about a variety of topics. All in all, we will definitely stay at Barclay Heights B & B again.

David and Justine were very friendly, charming, and attentive hosts, even from before our arrival. Justine called to offer to make dinner reservations for us the day before we checked in and David's skill in the kitchen was second to none. The room was clean, cozy, and comfortable and the en suite bath with jacuzzi featured all new plumbing and fixtures. But clearly, the best part about the whole experience was the cooked-to-order breadfast, complete with fresh local fruit and delicious Guatemalan coffee. I whole-heartedly recommend Barclay Heights!

Last weekend (Apr 30 - May 2, 2011), we stayed at the Barclay Heights Bed & Breakfast for our 9th wedding anniversary. From the moment we arrived and were settled comfortably in our room, we were hooked. Justine & David made us feel at home immediately (along with their adorable daughter). The room was decorated lovely and 2 plates of my favorite Krause's chocolates were awaiting us. A very nice sized television and DVD player were available to us...along with a radio to listen to music. Our bathroom included a 2 person Jacuzzi which was such a special treat for us. And, Justine & David provided a wide variety of lotions, shampoos, body washes and conditioners to choose from (Coconut was my absolute favorite!). I honestly don't know how anyone would not be able to find a scent that suited them perfectly. But the most extraordinary characteristic about Barclay Heights was the scrumptious, never-ending breakfasts in the mornings. First, the fact that Justine & David provided us with a long list of options really impressed us (everything from crepes & pancakes to eggs benedict & omelets…and so much more). There was such care and preparation taken with every aspect of our breakfast (the coissants, fresh fruit and juices)…and the food tasted phenomenal. We are generally a 3 meals a day couple but honestly after the awesome, filling meals we received, we found we made it until late in the day before we felt any touch of hunger. Overall, our whole experience was extremely positive and we would highly recommend visiting Justine & David as you will not be disappointed. Norm & Susan

My girlfriend and I recently spent 2 nights at the Barclays-every aspect exceeded our expectations (and they were set pretty high based on the reviews I had read on TripAdvisors). The room was absolutely incredible, and even had a Jacuzzi and state of the art shower. All bath products were organic and much better than anything I've ever seen at a hotel. Justine and David are wonderful people, and if you can believe it, even better chefs. I honestly think that the breakfasts we had have spoiled all over B&B experiences for us going forward. The fritattas and crepes were to die for. Thank you so much - we WILL be back!!!

We stayed in the Zen room. I sensed the earthy Karma immediately. Sure enough, the towels, sheets and soaps smelled and felt wonderful. It happened to be our ninth anniversary and we are not "organic". My husband's appreciation of the peppermint chamomile soap (because it made his skin tingley) made me laugh. I hope I never get too old to enjoy the little things in life. The Zen room is only for a close couple as there is a curtain between the bathroom and the room but I just turn up the volume on the TV. I consider this B&B a value because the breakfast alone would cost you at least $40 anywhere else. It was fabulous.

Creek housse looks lousy from outside but is ok inside. Bedroom is nice, airy, and full of light. Other room is ok as well with a little bar type set up and small bed that works fine. Probably best to stay here when weather is warm so you can sit outside on the small but ok deck which overlooks the creek. The breakfast was billed as a highlight on the website. It was fine but hardly superior. Pancakes were a bit soggy and not served hot. Coffee was in a decanter and not refilled sufficiently with fresh coffee. Breakfast area feels very cramped. Inn keepers are competent and nice folks. Husband is a chef and professor at the Culinary Instit. of America, which is near the inn. All in all, not a "special" b and b, stayed here because others were full. But ok to stay here under those circumstances. Would not be a "don't miss" or first choice, however.

David and Justine are excellent hosts, offering a ton of helpful advice and resources and an exceptional breakfast.

Breakfasts are truly extraordinary- delicious, huge (brunches really), full of fresh ingredients and we were set all the way to dinner. The rooms were lovely, nicely decorated, clean and the hosts nice and helpful. But the breakfasts really make this place outstanding and a must. A couple of reviewers have commented about traffic noise. It's not absolutely 100% silent, since it's off a two-lane road, but traffic noise- the odd car really- will not bother a city or suburban dweller.

My husband and I have stayed in the Zen Room at the Smythe House 3 times now and we love it. Justine and David are incredibly warm and welcoming and are wonderful cooks. We brought both our dog and our 3-month old baby this time and felt like perhaps the Zen Room was getting a little small for us, with all the dog and baby paraphernalia. So although we have great memories from the Zen Room, maybe we will try the Violet Room or Bird rooms next time. I believe they have jacuzzi tubs big enough for two, unlike the one in the Zen Room that is a tight squeeze for two. We always plan to go hiking while we are up there, but usually end up just relaxing in our room for much of the time. We have done a quick and enjoyable hike to the Saugerties Lighthouse as well as a trip to the very interesting Opus 40. (http://www.opus40.org/ - I won't even try to explain it.)

The breakfasts were gourmet feasts and we could not have asked for more. We were sorry to leave and will definetly be returning. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We came up from NYC for a weekend of relaxation and to de-stress and we could not have gotten that more. Our bed and jacuzzi - in the "Bird Room" - were fantastic. And, every breakfast felt like a we had won some contest and it was our reward...we are not used to such wonderful food and pampering. Next time we are in the Catskills we will certainly stay here again, as well as recommending the place to our friends.
