The Darby

As a previous reviewer mentioned, The Darby is most definitely a hidden gem! From my very first step inside, I immediately forgot the stresses of the winter weather I was escaping from. The staff I interacted with were friendly, welcoming, & hospitable. I felt as if I was a valued guest from check-in to check-out. The decor is modern, & the cleanliness of the establishment was impressive. The bed was super comfortable, & the bathroom floor was decorated in eye-catching patterns. The leather strap that bolts the headboard to the wall was an amazingly cool touch! I am a bit of a picky eater, but I ordered The Darby (two smash burgers on a pretzel bun with bacon jam, tomato, pickles & truffle chips... Modified to exclude the cheese), & it was, honestly, the best burger(s) I've ever had! The bacon jam & truffle chips elevated it to another level, & my ice water with a slice of fresh lemon was the perfect way to finish it off. I would recommend The Darby experience to anyone, & I plan on visiting again in Spring!

I chose to stay at the Darby Hotel the last time I visited Narrowsburg, NY. It is a hidden little gem right across the bridge and a five minute walk to all the shops and restaurants in Downtown Narrowsburg. The hotel was a former nursing home but the owners have assured that it is nothing like that inside. The interior has nicely furnished common rooms and soft music and lighting. There are plenty of places to sit and talk and the hotel encourages mingling. What I enjoyed was the fire pit outside the hotel in the evening to sit and relax and talk to other guests. Another nice place to talk to people is at the Continental breakfast the hotel has in the morning. I thought the hotel should have provide a bit more food as people were really hungry in the morning. The best part of the hotel is the rooms. The bed is so soft and firm that you sink right into it and will get one of the best nights sleep you will get in this quiet environment at night. There is a bar on premise that everyone was enjoying and it was further away from the rooms. The hotel is a real hipster hangout and some of the locals stop up and have drinks at the bar so you never know who may meet at the fire pit. I just enjoyed staying here to get away from it all. It was such a nice stay with a good night’s sleep and wonderful service throughout the stay. What nice grounds to walk around as well.

We absolutely adored this place, which a local friend booked for us. Impeccable aesthetic, bed, linen, food, beverage & product choices; warm, charming staff (Marcus & Leon) --an absolutely elevated scene/experience. Cannot wait to return for POOL SEASON. Perfect ambassador for the downtown Narrowsburg (only a 3 minute walk!) ethos
