Six Bells Countryside Inn and The Feathers Tavern — Hotel in Town of Rosendale

As a travel agent of almost 40 years i would not reccomend this property. Upon check in i had a wonderful woman witth a smile who was very helpful and informative. The room was nice and pretty clean. Unfortunately in the bedroom the air conditioner did not work well, so i opened my windows at night not realizing there were a lot of holes in the screens. I guess i got bit by an insect in the night, because i woke ujp with a swollen finger in pain, which got worse as the morning pursued. I advised the staff and front desk i needed to go to urgent care and check out after 1 night. The woman now at the front desk with no smile or compassion stated" well im still chargiing you" i asked if she can help in any way and she simply said no. She stated "i could have sold the room". The next day i woke up to an additional charge of 81.00 with no explanation. I just paid 2095.00 for 1 night of a suite that did not offer anything like water, slippers, etc. and had holes in the screens. Whether i left early or not the dirty lot amongst other things were not worth over 2000.00. I must say the staff at the restaurant are very nice and have nothing to do with this review. As a woman; and being this is a woman owned establishment, it happened to be the worst experience in many years for me. I woud never sell this property and saddened of the non compassionate experience. I have never dealt with anythiing like this from 5 sstar properties. There is always compassion with my partners in my industry, so this...

An Inn with a charming identity. Audrey Gelman, the owner (or better put "creator") decorated with a lot of panache -- for instance, the wallpaper is hand-painted. She also created a fictional hamlet with its own newspaper. I've stayed a lot of inns, B&Bs, etc., and this one wins the award for personality. It has been profiled in the Travel and Leisure, so if you want to see photos, do some search. To us, it was the perfect place to spend a rainy day, starting with a wonderful breakfast and our bed nook. And as an added perk, the owner (in her pajamas), held our door open so I could enter with my tea and coffee from downstairs. Although we didn't dine there, the covered space for the dining room looked lovely (we ate across the street at a French restaurant and also at the quite colorful Mid-Eastern restaurant, a few doors down). Rosendale itself is a quirky town with restaurants and its own independent theater. If you want to go more traditional upscale -- Hudson. If you like art and walking -- the Storm King Art Center (sculpture). Caveats/comments: The inn is in town so you will hear some traffic. The steps to bedrooms (I'm not sure if there are any on the first floor) are steep. I glanced at some other reviews which critiqued the staff -- hmm, they were quite friendly and fun with us. In sum, in these days of cookie-cutter inns, or neo-post-minimalist design, this place was a...

What a great find! This place is gorgeous and truly special. A tiny bit spooky which adds to the magic of it. The owner Mike was lovely, as was the receptionist Michael. We stayed in the suite (2 bedrooms) and the beds were very soft and comfortable. A/C was nice and cold. We had plenty of room. ||The sitting room where they serve a light, delicious breakfast (muffins, bananas, clementines, and coffee/tea all day) was very pretty and cozy — I'd love to sit there all day and read a book. The back outdoor seating area is beautiful too. Plus, location was perfect. We could walk just 1-2 minutes to some local restaurants, cafes and bakeries. My recommendation is to book through them directly via their website/calling--sometimes booking sites charge local places like this a fee. ||We will be back! Thank you Mike & Michael the spectacular stay and wonderful local...
