Pig Hill Inn

I definitely recommend staying here if you’re visiting Cold Spring. It fits the entire ambiance of the town itself, which is «quaint.» It has a cozy main living room with a fireplace and a charming sun room that you can eat breakfast in. They always have treats out (cake, brownies) and tea that you can help yourself to. Breakfast was enjoyable; we had delicious french toast and a brie and spinach omelet, as well as plenty of coffee and OJ. My boyfriend and I stayed in the Bella Rose room, which was cute and cozy. The bed was comfortable and they provided plenty of pillows and blankets and towels. The staff was really friendly and welcoming. They have free WiFi. No complaints here. I will definitely be staying here again when I return to Cold Spring. We peeked in the Morning Ivy room and it looked beautiful, so I’ll probably try to nab that room next time!

We stayed here over New Year’s for the long weekend. We seem to have been the only couple staying there for the first time. So clearly people love this place and keep returning. We stayed in the Mountain Vista room on the 3^rd floor which was a very small room. But very clean and cozy. A nice aspect to the rooms is the fact that we control our own heat. We had a hallway bathroom, which was OK, although a VERY small bathroom and had no place to even hang a towel except one tiny hook on the door.
Every morning has a lovely breakfast, and they were easily able to accomodate my gluten free and dairy free issues, which was great. on the 3^rd morning, the pancakes were absolutely burnt to a crisp and unedible, but my boyfriend didn’t mention it to them. I’m sure they would have redone them if asked. But we were shocked they came out that way. Each night there was a pie for tasting, and teas available. The staff was extremely nice.
Cold Spring is basically one street and very cute. We had some decent food and a nice relaxing time. We took the train from New York City (about 75 to 90 min) and it was a 5 minute walk to the Inn.

I’ve stayed here twice– once with my boyfriend a year ago, but more recently with my mom about about a month ago. Both stays were absolutely lovely. The couple who I’m assuming owns the inn is very welcoming and helpful.
Here’s my list of what made this a 5 star inn:
1) The couple who (I’m assuming) own it are the most welcoming and helpful. They gave us a tour of the Inn upon our arrival, including where to find the always-​fresh, homemade desserts.
2) The location is right in the middle of the main street, surrounded by adorable boutiques and dining. Also, you are a one minute walk from the train station, and a two minute walk to the river.
3) The beds are so comfortable, the bathtubs are fantastic, and the décor is just so cozy.
It’s definitely the place to be if you just need a day or two or three to relax and unwind from the world.
I’m looking forward to my next visit.

My girlfriend and I spent an amazing night at the Pig Hill Inn. It was my first stay at a b and b and we will be going back! The manager Dave who checked us in was super accommodating. Since we were coming from Manhattan we had our overnight bags and they let us keep them in the little store so we could enjoy the town sans luggage. The room (Tranquility Suite) was clean and huge. Breakfast was great and the little tea and cake was a super nice touch in the evening. I’m looking forward to our next stay which will be longer than a day!

Pig Hill Inn is a great place for an escape when you’re sick and tired of the noisy, obnoxious city. Dave was so friendly and helpful, he made our stay extra special. The breakfast was brought up to our room at the time we specified; it was delicious. We stayed in the Morning Ivy room, it was clean and tidy. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because something opened our door at one point and there was nobody outside. I was a bit creeped out.
Beautiful town and the food is superb. I highly recommend this place.

HORRIBLE Customer Service. I didn’t even stay here because the service I received booking the reservation was a complete disaster. The person I spoke to on the phone (I don’t even know his name because he didn’t give it to me) was so cocky and unapologetic about the deficiencies in their reservation system. He acted as though he didn’t need my business so I felt I had to cancel. Unless you’re sold out every single day, I wouldn’t think that was the case. Hey, there’s room here if you need it. He wouldn’t let me speak and was very mean. Beware, there is minimal communication about the rate. It is not broken down on your confirmation e-​mail. You will not receive a response to any of your questions. If you do, it will be by a condescending phone call. Good Luck!

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay. We just wanted a break from The City and this was very relaxing. The rooms are cozy, the staff very accommodating and the free breakfast is enough to last until dinner. We will be back.

This establishment is the quaintest bnb you could find, beginning with the warm homemade desserts they greet you with, to the comfortable living space of each room — each featuring a different theme.
We stayed in the Victorian Elegance — an adorable little room with a traditional-​style bathtub and a wood– burning stove that is perfect for curling up next to with a deck of cards and some wine.
Vera, the proprietor, is a lovely woman whose extremely welcoming nature makes you feel right at home. The inn features a delicious breakfast with an amazing view and a bunch of board games. There are a number of shops, cafes, restaurants and antique stores right around the inn.
We are planning on revisiting the Pig Hill every season with an attempt to try every room and it’s creative theme.

Currently staying here for a short over night trip and we are so happy we chose Pig Hill. Our host when we arrived this afternoon is truly a sweet heart and delivered champagne to our room almost immediately after arrival. This place is clean, and the area of Cold Springs is an amazing place to visit, especially escaping the big city life. STAY HERE!!!

The Pig Hill is a charming little spot in the heart of Cold Spring. It’s steps away from shops, and a handful of restaurants so you can park your car and just get around by foot.
Don’t be confused when you walk in — the entrance features a shop that sells handbags, earrings, and various other handicrafts. At first, I thought I had the wrong address! The inn has three floors (if you’re coming with heavy bags, you might not want to book the third floor!), and the rooms are varied in their aesthetics, but all are very comfortable. We stayed on the very top floor in a quiet room (painted red) which was very cozy — we loved the extremely comfortable bed, the two big chairs for sitting and lounging, and all the natural light (the room was in the corner, so we got light from both sides. Always a plus!). The only inn-​oddity was a bookshelf with a sort of mess of books all falling over in our bedroom. My hunch is this was an oversight. Our relatives stayed in a room on the first floor which was equally comfortable (they had a larger bed than ours, and while our room had the bathroom sink in the bedroom, theirs didn’t). Additional points for a delicious breakfast — we started with fruit and a basket of cinnamon bread and biscuits; next we were offered a brie and spinach omelet, French toast, or eggs prepared any way.
The only thing one might want to know is that there can be a tiny bit of street noise– the inn is near train tracks, and by 7:30am or so I could hear a few train horns. It was nothing hair-​raising, but sensitive sleepers might want to beware (or at least download the white noise app).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The innkeepers were very nice, service was excellent, and our room (although some things could be improved upon) was very comfortable and pleasant.
I would leave it at that, but I do have a few quibbles with this place. The main thing is that so much of the food seems pre-​made or storebought. After my experience staying at Thyme in the Country in Hudson and being wowed by all the farm-​fresh food, I was a little disappointed by the quality of certain items – for example: what appeared to be a fresh-​baked apple pie, but turned out to be made from store-​prepped items (if not purchased as it was). One of the things I really look forward to in a B&B are the homemade meals. And there were many items that WERE homemade! The pancakes, french toast, coffee and eggs were all superb. But rather than fresh orange juice, our server brought out the jug of Tropicana and poured it straight into the glass at the table. Small details like this, and the fact that the surfaces in our room were not wiped clean (so that I was brushing other peoples’ crumbs off the bedside table), made the difference between four stars and five.
These minor issues aside, this is a wonderful old house in a can’t-be-beat location and the value is very good considering the type of service and facilities offered. Anyone who complains that there was no television in their room at a B&B should be banned from B&Bs forever, as should those who use hateful epithets when their grandness as human beings is not properly acknowledged by everyone who they deem «at their eminent service.»
Our room (Victorian Elegance) was a tad bit shabby, but equally chic and the bathroom was immaculately clean and included a claw foot bathtub which I couldn’t nearly get enough of. There was plenty of room to spread out and play games in the evening, and the communal space included a bathroom so one did not have to return to their room out of necessity. The purveyors were very kind and helpful and we slept well every night that we were there! I would definitely not hesitate about visiting again in the future. Thanks, Pig Hill Inn!

*Calling to make a reservation*
Me (pleasantly): Hi, I’d like to make a reservation.
Receptionist (ambivalently): Do you have access to the Internet?
Me (very confused): Umm… yes…I do…
Receptionist (condescendingly): Why don’t you go online and make the reservation? You can see all the options and make the reservation online.
Me (flabbergasted): Ok… I will do that…
*Hangs up phone… what. just. HAPPENED!!!*
What I wanted to say was, «Hey, B*TCH, what is with your attitude?! In all my not-​so-​young-​anymore years, NEVER has anyone in the service industry basically told me to go F*CK myself in response to potential business. And actually, at this very moment, as we are both on the phone, I am on my computer, which by the way is connected to the Internet (or is it Internets? I don’t know… it’s all so technophamorphously confusing…), having checked out your website and I had some questions. So THANK YOU for managing to be SO OFF-​PUTTING as to render all my subsequent queries and any desire to book with you completely moot. Ever.
xoxo!

Oh, Pig Hill Inn. I love you so. My SO and I got married last Valentine’s Day and we wanted a romantic and secluded honeymoon spot. This was perfect. Cold Spring itself is a really cute little area, very close to the water (which is beautiful even in the winter, but I’m sure lovely in the warmer weather). The Inn itself is literally only a few minutes from the train so the walk is pretty foolproof.
It’s worth noting that we’re a same-​sex couple (two women) and had some anxieties about choosing a honeymoon spot because a lot of desk workers or owners like to say things like «but don’t you ladies want a room with TWO BEDS? IS THIS FOR GIRL’S WEEKEND AWAY?» which is always awkward. BUT, we experienced none of those issues and in fact the whole staff was really friendly and normal. So I definitely recommend it for other same-​sex couples. Vera, the owner, was who greeted us and brought up a bottle of champagne to our room which was sweet (!) and did a really nice job of showing us around.
For everyone else: yes, it’s still awesome. We stayed in the Enchantment room and it was really lovely! Comes with a fireplace and a Jacuzzi tub. The room itself is also much bigger than the photos on their site make it look. We had a look at some of the other rooms which were open while they were cleaning, etc, and in particular the Tranquility and Victorian Elegance rooms looked really nice, too.
Breakfast is *awesome*! We had breakfast in bed both times and it was delightful. Huge, huge spread and all of the food is a really good quality. You can sign up for it the night before and you can also note if you’re a vegetarian/​other dietary needs. During the day, they also leave out fresh baked goods in the kitchen area — the snickerdoodle cookies in particular were delicious.
When you’re in Cold Spring, you’re also really close to Dia Beacon, a really neat art museum only a town over. We didn’t do any hiking because of the cold in the winter, but I can see how the area would be fantastic for it.
Get a room! It is so nice! You will definitely not regret it.

I was in need of a retreat form the crazy city life and came across Pig Hill Inn several times in my search. Fate was on my side. I booked a two night stay and wished I booked a three nighter instead.
As a B&B first timer, I had my reservations but they went out of the window when I arrived — its so close to the Metro North station (so convenient! btw). I was greeted by one of the owners, Dave, who immediately showed me around. The inn is so cozy, historic and has a small boutique filled with nuances and an impressive display of bags.
The breakfasts were a pleasant way to start the day plus the tea and snacks were bonuses — plenty of food!
I highly recommend this place for those traveling solo, with a significant other or a small group of friends. The inn is spacious, clean and welcoming.

Just got back from Pig Hill Inn, and we had a perfect trip. My fiancée and I were treated very well by the staff (don’t mind Dave, who’s a little curt — he’s very helpful and nice despite his affect.) Vera (the owner) is wonderful. The room (we chose the Tranquility Room) was perfect, clean, comfortable sheets, clean bathroom. Shower with great pressure and a two-​person jacuzzi. As everyone knows, the free breakfast is delicious.
If you’re going up hiking/​relaxing in Cold Spring — especially if it’s a romantic getaway — stay at the Pig Hill Inn. Can’t recommend it enough.

I had originally booked for Halloween to do something different with my 10yr old son. We were supposed to go see Blaze at the Cortlandt Manor. We live on Long Island and hurricane sandy was coming. I had to reschedule our stay and was really worried about the cancelation policy. Dave was very understanding and let me reschedule for the following week. The day we were supposed to leave a northeaster was coming. It was not going to ruin our trip!
When we arrived Dave showed us around. Showed my son how he could make his own hot cocoa. My son loved that he could get up and go make his own hot cocoa. Plus there was a basket of fresh cookies. Our room was absolutely adorable! I picked the sunrise room w/​twin beds. They were very comfy. The bathroom was a perfect size.
My favorite was the fireplace room right outside of our room. Perfect space to have tea, read a book, just relax. My son watched his cartoons in the garden room while I was able to relax by the fire.
In the morning we had our delicious breakfast. Hot croissants and muffins to start, fresh fruit, and whatever else we wanted. I had a delicious omelette and my son enjoyed his chocolate chip pancake. Thanks Dave!!! As we were eating I checked my email to find Blaze was cancelled again. I was worried my son was going to be disappointed, but he was having such a good time at Pig Hill Inn that he didn’t care at all!
I have told so many people about our lovely time. I can’t wait to return again!

Stayed 2 nights over the weekend.
–Super quick walk from the train
–Wonderful staff
–room was cozy and adorable
–the water pressure in the shower is unbelievable (claw foot tub!)
–breakfast was delicious and they leave tea and tasty, homemade desserts out for the guests
–loved working by the fireplace on the first floor
–some of the best hikes in the state are a 20 minute walk up fair street
Can’t wait to return in the spring!

I cannot say that I had an amazing stay at the Pig Hill Inn, because I unfortunately did not get to stay there. But I can say that I had and amazing experience there and cannot wait to go back.
I made a mistake in booking and showed up to the Inn a day early. (I know. Idiot.) I had tried to book a nice weekend out of the city (Manhattan) for my partner’s birthday but somehow got my dates mixed up.
The Pig Hill Inn has a stated 14-​day cancellation policy and I thought I was doomed because not only did we not have a place to stay, but I wouldn’t have any money for any other birthday presents or festivities, as booking a room was already a splurge for me. I felt awful.
Vera warmly took pity on me and recognized that I had made an honest mistake. Not only did she not charge me but she offered to look up other hotels in the next town over (Cold Springs was completely booked out that weekend) and she even offered to drive us there to avoid high cab fares. I couldn’t believe it.
Vera is a beautiful person who runs an honest business. The Pig Hill Inn looks like a completely charming place to stay and I cannot wait to actually stay there!

Incredible. Really love this place – took the boyfriend here this past weekend for his birthday. We stayed in the Tranquility Room, and it was beautiful! The place is charming and warm, small in that cozy kind of way (but not cramped). We were greeted by Dave, who proceeded to give us a tour, immediately offered us apple pie and tea (which we devoured in the lovely greenhouse dining area), then took us up to our room.
And what a room! The four poster bed with the swaths of gauzy cloth, the chilled bottle of bubbly, the wood burning stove, the huge bathroom with the 2-​person Jacuzzi… amazing. The room (and all the other rooms… we peeked around during the weekend) is much bigger than we expected, and the other rooms were so prettily done, each appointed with its own charming character.
The best part for us was breakfast. Pig Hill gives its guests an option of having breakfast either in the greenhouse room or having it brought to them at the time they request (we did this both mornings… it was sooo indulgent and lovely). The food came fresh, hot, and delicious – we didn’t want to get out of bed after eating!
The town is quiet, quaint, and full of antique and craft shops and art galleries. There are a couple of good restaurants here, but the main point is, this B&B fulfills what its guests seek — pampering, comfort, and indulgence.
We can’t wait to be back!

This quaint charming B&B is a wonderful getaway that we have frequented many times. The rooms are beatufilly decorated with antiques (every one is different) — we love to stay in the Enchantment room with its jacuzzie and wood burning stove. A gourmet breakfast is served to you in your room. They have a beautiful living room downstairs for the guests to hang out by the fireplace.
Thanks to the staff, Jean and Dave, for making our stay that much more enjoyable!
Vera, we hope to see you on our next visit.
