Having read many of the reviews of the Burdett House before we booked our stay, our expectations were quite high. Well, Dave and Ashley managed to exceed those expectations. My wife and I have stayed at many B&Bs in our 24 years of marriage, but I don’t think we have stayed in one whose owners were as warm, welcoming and attentive as Ashley and Dave. While we had let them know in advance, we would be a late arrival, when we informed them our arrival would be later than expected there was no problem. They promptly reached out to us to make sure our travels were going ok, let us know our room was ready, where it was located and provided instructions for placing our breakfast order for the morning. The house is beautiful, well maintained and nicely decorated. The porch on the side of the house is a wonderful spot for relaxing with a book and glass of wine or even taking a nap. We stayed in the Knickerbocker room. It is very clean, spacious, warm and boasts a very comfortable bed. The shower has great water pressure, to sooth those aching muscles after a day of hiking, and there is a small balcony on which you can enjoy coffee in the morning, from the well-stocked snack area a few steps outside the room. At breakfast we finally got to meet Ashley, Dave and Hudson, a loveable golden doodle. They are truly incredible hosts and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. In addition to making sure your day got off to a great start with a delicious meal, Dave and Ashley were sure to check in on your plans for the day so they could offer suggestions or tidbits of information to make it better. Each breakfast was wonderful, starting with the fresh fruit and pastries to a deliciously prepared entrée, such as sourdough pancakes and a breakfast sandwich with the most scrumptious sauteed onions. Just wait until you try the potatoes. Finally, the location is great. It is in a quiet area and only a short drive to all the area attractions. We highly recommend the Burdett House for your stay in the Watkins Glen area.
