Barclay Heights Bed and Breakfast at Smythe House

We very much enjoyed staying at Barclay Heights Bed and Breakfast. It is a very calming, relaxing place. The history of the house is very unique and interesting. The gardens, decks, and water features are very nice. The inside restoration over the years was very good. Our room was well thought out and very pleasant. Everything had been thought of and provided. Breakfast was excellently done by David and Justine and it was quite enjoyable talking with them as we looked out on the backyard. We wish we would have had more time there but will have to plan another stop there in the future. Sandy and David Campbell, Berwick, PA

The weekend getaway perfection, within the Catskills region. The loveliest owners/​innkeepers/​couple ever! And a marvelous backyard, so ZEN! A koi fish pond to walk through and marvel at before you hit a giant smack of green for your heart to melt into. Find peace. Find yourself. Dig deep into your heart. Meditate. OHM. Ha. Yes.
And now, to really dig the digs in simplier terms, the «Bird room» (in which we stayed) was perfect and cozy. Amazing bed and an even more amazing bathroom with a two top jacuzzi bath tub. Bubble hot bath soak two nights in a row before resting our tired city heads for the night. How wonderful. And now for the encore, dun dun dun. THE FOOD.
I mean, of course, the FOOD!
Gourmet breakfast, David Smythe is a chef/​instructor at the Culinary Institute of America and Justine (hospitality queen/​wife) is also a graduate of CIA so a powerful couple combined with a dope B&B, it’s better than Disney World MAGIC. For breakfast, you get to choose and order the night beforehand on a very thorough breakfast menu. And they prepare your breakfast right when you arrive at your preferrred time to the kitchen. An experience you will not get anywhere else!
They have a plate of the freshest sweetest fruits ever waiting for you when you arrive, along with your requested beverage (s)… for us coffee and orange juice. A pitcher of OJ just for you. MMMM.
I wonder where they pick the fruits from. Hm. After that, they feed you a croissant (being that I ordered blueberry pancakes), i just stared at my dude begin to stuff himself.
And ta da– BLUEBERRY pancakes with BACON. it was so amazing. I’m not fond of big pancakes as it gets dried quick. David Smythe perfected the mini mes with flaky airiness and crispy sides. MMMMM. And perfectly cooked bacon. HEAVENLY. the aroma will also knock you off your feet while you wait.
So the next morning, I order it again! This place has been PERFECTION. NOM NOM NOM NOM. I will miss these pancakes til I come back again! Never have I ever!
Crossing Clinton St Baking company off my bookmarked list. Forget that! Smythe House B&B is the way to go.

Phenomenal value!
Small rooms, but fully decked out with jacuzzi, tons of shampoos, etc. TV, dvd player, strong free wi-​fi; and pet friendly.
Fantastic breakfast, a great value just by itself.
