Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even if it’s a slow one) with a continental breakfast included in your stay. While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room includes a microwave and coffee machine, and you're just a short drive from Watkins Glen’s growing list of eateries. Whether it’s late-night bites or a celebratory drink, local dining spots are within easy reach.

Nightlife Options

Longhouse Manor B&B itself is more about serenity than parties, but that’s part of the appeal. Still, you’re close enough to explore Watkins Glen’s bars, wine lounges, and live music venues—without having to sleep above them. Think of it as your backstage pass to the action, with a comfy retreat waiting afterward.

What People Say

Travelers rave about the friendly hosts, the clean and spacious rooms, and the beautiful hillside views. Many guests call it a “hidden gem” and love the relaxed atmosphere, perfect for decompressing after a high-energy concert. The outdoor pool and sun terrace get consistent praise as great spots to relax.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor feels a bit dated, and if you're planning on being out late, the quiet vibe may not suit those looking for an all-night party. A car is recommended, as it's a bit removed from the town center.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want to pair their live music experience with peaceful surroundings, free amenities, and a touch of charm, Longhouse Manor B&B is a smart, scenic choice.
