Hartshorne House


  • Inn Details

    Guests can not believe they are in the 'City'. A quiet, older home with spacious, wooded grounds and a 'countryish'feeling, yet with easy access, via the famous Staten Island Ferry, to the glitter and excitement of Manhattan. With home baked bread, homemade preserves and the aroma of fresh-ground coffee, all served in front of the fire or on the veranda, many say they feel like they are staying in a farmhouse. Fussy about clean rooms, attractive meal service, and personal attention.

    Beautiful "country" home in the city. Just a short walk or bus-ride to the Staten Island Ferry. Miriam is serious about her beautiful breakfasts.

    I stayed with Miriam for 6 nights last week. If you are looking for the lap of luxury, look elsewhere. If you want a clean, comfortable place to stay while touring NYC, then come here. The house was built just after the Civil War, and it is showing its age, but it is a very hospitable place. The food is excellent, and you will not walk away hungry! The bus and ferry ride to Manhattan are both very convenient. I would recommend this B&B to anyone on a budget who wants to see New York.


    Wonderful stay

    I stayed 4 nights in October 2009. Miriam Ellis was a lovely host who was always helpful with information and had wonderful breakfasts prepared for you. My room was very nice and the bed was comfortable. The bus stop was right out front which took you to the ferry and the ferry was just a short ride across to the exciting city of new york. I would stay here again.


    Hope I can come again
