Detailed Reviews
We recently had a two night stay in this lovely B&B.
Everything was excellent.
The entire home is impeccably clean and Karen is such a warm and welcoming host.
The blue room was beautiful and so comfortable and included a cozy loveseat that made evening reading so easy.
The water in the shower was hot and plentiful--something I really appreciate at the end of a long day.
The B&B is excellently located in a quiet neighborhood and is just a short walk away from restaurants and shops.

This is a lovely B&B in a quiet location but an easy walk into town. The pictures don't do it justice. It is very cosy, immaculate, well thought out accommodation with small touches like loads of charging points, hanging hooks, etc that make the stay so much easier. I spent 2 nights here with my 3 kids in the Blue Room and it was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was fantastic with loads of choice and the freshly baked biscuits in particular were a treat. Outside space is equally thought out with many sitting areas to enjoy the outdoors. Karen is an outgoing host with loads of recommendations should you need them. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hamilton.

A home away from home. I stayed there 2 weeks for a work trip but it felt like a vacation. The rooms are extremely clean, cosy and equipped with everything one would need, the photos don't even make justice. Great location, short walk to the campus or downtown, space to park. But what makes the place special is the hospitality of Karen. I've heard stories about the wonderful breakfast before I arrived - freshly baked goods every day, great variety or she'll offer to make you eggs and bacon. It's pretty magical in the winter with a lovely Christmas decoration, but I'm sure it's beautiful in every season. Looking forward to visit again!

We stayed at Holcomb's Bed and Breakfast for 3 nights. It is a very nice place, clean, beautifully renovated with a lot of attention to detail. Karen is special and caring host. B&B is quiet and peaceful, you can truly relax. It is in a walking distance to the Hamilton center, which is very convenient. Whether you are out for a walk or decided to have lunch or dinner, you really don't have to travel far. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Just exactly what a B&B experience should be. Karen is friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. Breakfast was fantastic, both for my daughter, who had waffles, bacon AND biscuits -- and for me, with early coffee and perfectly cooked eggs. I actually asked where she got the bedding, it was so perfect for summer weather. And everything was immaculate. If you're in Hamilton for any reason, don't hesitate to book a room here -

Envision the best owner, the best sleep, and the best variety of breakfast in a small University town. Super clean and crisp, the 9 foot tall rooms are cozy and the shower is a thankfully good pressure compared to other B&Bs. The owners work hard and the area is so quiet. We’ll be back. So what are you waiting for?

We recently stayed at Holcomb's Bed and Breakfast during a visit to Colgate University. Our bedroom was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for four (2 adults, 2 teens). The breakfast was excellent and had something for everyone. Karen and her family are super friendly and even let our younger son stay behind and watch T.V. while we took our older son on his college tour. We very much appreciated their kindness, as it was in the single digits that day and was icy and cold walking around campus. If our son ends up at Colgate, we will definitely come back to Holcomb's B&B.

We were visiting Colgate and Hamilton Colleges with our high school son (doing the normal college search) and stayed at Holcomb's B&B. We had a room with a queen and twin with private bath. The room was large, very well decorated and as all the reviews cite, very clean. Karen is a wonderful host and her family has done a tremendous job renovating and modernizing the property. Great breakfast and wifi. We aren't usually B&B folks, but this stay made us converts.

It was our second time staying there, and it was great. The house was clean, comfortable, and we felt right at home. Hocomb's was actually a Plan B when we decided to visit our son and the Colgate Inn was full, and so we didn't expect much. But the first stay there was absolutely wonderful and so we decided to stay there again when we decided to visit our son again. It's very close to Colgate as well. 5 stars without second thought

The room was clean and the bed very comfortable. I enjoyed watching the flat screen TV (although not much time for that!) and free wifi is a plus these days. The breakfast was plentiful with fresh fruit, steel cut oatmeal, sweets and great coffee. Karen is a gem who can't do enough for her guests. She knows everyone at Colgate and has great tips for navigating crowds at family weekend. Book early to ensure availability!
