The Harbor Rose

My wife and I were looking for a spur of the moment one night getaway. We came across this bed and breakfast on one of the B&B websites and were very happy with our stay. The house is almost 200 years old and in amazing shape. When we first walked in we received our tour from Deirdre who was very accommodating, there is a Keurig machine with a nice selection of coffee and tea, fresh fruit, red and white wine and beer. The living room was nice with instrumental music playing which i thought added to the ambiance and was relaxing. It did rain when we were there so i cannot comment on the outside other than there is a trail you can hike on and a nice view of the water. Now for the room, we stayed in the Victorian room on the second floor which was really nice. There was a small couch, closet, dressers and small table, there was a TV with cable. The bed was very comfortable which says a lot because I suffer from extreme back pain and I woke up feeling fine, the bedding was nice with tons of pillows and a down comforter which all smelled like fresh citrus or something of the sort. All in all we had a short but great stay. Everything was clean and fresh. One tip which has nothing to do with the house is either goto dinner or bring dinner because we waiting almost 2 hours for a place to deliver and it was 2 miles away.

We chose The Harbor Rose as a place to stay for our wedding night. We found this inn online after searching for a cute bed and breakfast out on Long Island, since our wedding was out there. The Harbor Rose exceeded our expectations. The owner, Deirdre and her daughter were so helpful when we first got there. Her daughter even helped me up the stairs with my wedding dress on. The little girl was not a distraction at all once we settled down in our room. She was very mature. We stayed in the Victorian Room, which I highly recommend because the bed has a beautiful canopy. And it’s very spacious. We had requested wine and chocolates. They didn’t have a traditional breakfast like a bed and breakfast has. However, there was a whole table of organic yogurt, cookies, muffins, fruits, and coffee on the downstairs table. There was even a table filled with wine bottles and you were able to take as much as you please. There was an assistant manager who was very friendly and he even offered to drive us into the cute little town of Cold Spring Harbor wherever we needed to go. We really appreciated that. The best thing about this inn is that it’s located in a really cute, quaint, and historic town of both Cold Spring Harbor and Huntington where there are a variety of cute cafes, restaurants, and antique gift shops. We highly suggest that you check out The Harbor Mist Restaurant. It has a great view of the water and ships and we even get a ten percent off discount off the meal for staying at the inn. If you are looking for an escape from the city and typical Long Island life, than this place is for you. It was even close to JFK airport. We are so happy we chose The Harbor rose as a special place to spend our wedding night.
