I loved the historical nature of he property and the cozy room. The host was friendly and welcoming and his family was charming. I felt at ease in the space making it a much better experience than a chain hotel. The breakfasts were terrific!!

It was an absolutely wonderful experience stayig at Brookside at Laurens for two nights the 3rd weekend in September this year and having our first true Bed & Breakfast experience in many years. Fascinating, creatively appointed rooms, two very memorable delicious and delightful breakfasts prepared and served by our amiable host, Matthew. We stayed in the blue room upstairs and will definitely look for opportunities to return in the future! We highly recommend this inn and love that children are welcome there (though this time we were traveling without our 3 grown & flown sons).

This is a wonderful bed-and-breakfast. Personable host Matt makes great breakfasts. This is a quiet and relaxing environment. A few mile drive to the busy town of Oneonta. Half the price of hotels in town that serve breakfast out of a box. I have stayed here on two occasions, and will be returning in the next week or two. I highly recommend.

Homemade hot breakfast! And there really is a babbling Brook just beside the inn which we could hear from the room. The charming rooms are decorated in color themes. Shared bath in the hall and spacious common areas - we could have definitely stayed longer!

Brookside Inn was an ideal stopover for our two-day road trip from Ohio to New Hampshire: a reasonably priced, clean and comfortable B&B with great charm and character. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast and the chance to chat with Matthew.

My son and I stayed here before heading to Cooperstown All Star Village. Matt was extremely proactive and communicative about the check-in procedure. It was a great find. Breakfast was tasty and on time. I’m very pleased with this property and experience. Thank you Matt.

Disappointing
Negatives Bed mattress was awful, so hard! Exterior of house not well maintained, lightbulb out on front porch, landscaping overgrown, paint peeling on house, burned out house across the street No recommendations or brochures for things to do in the area Bathroom not super clean saw hairs in shower and on sink, hand soap practically empty, half used shampoo and conditioner containers in shower Ceiling fans were disgusting they had so much dust on them. Not much located close by. Positives Price Easy drive to Cooperstown (30 min). Breakfast was decent. Owner was nice.

There was no toilet paper in one bathroom, the other bathroom had no soap. A prior guest had thrown away left over pizza in both bathrooms snd the garbage had not been emptied. In the middle of the night I used the bathroom and found that the trash had been overturned and the cold pizza was strewn over the floors of both bathrooms. I imagine that someone's dog had gotten into it. I picked up the trash in one of the bathrooms, but when we left the other one had still not been cleaned. This tells me that no one is cleaning or inspecting the shared baths between or during stays. It was not only gross, its a health hazard. Nice family, nice housebut they need to pay more attention to the basics.

It was centrally located for me. The owners are friendly and accommodating. I stopped in just after noon (check in is 3 - 6) and knew my room wouldn't be ready, but was given the key with the option to leaved my bags there. Guests sign up for times for breakfast (7:30 - 8:30). Coffee, hot water for tea, and orange juice are available. Breakfast varies by day and is served promptly. The w-f- seemed a little spotty, but no other problems.
