The Cozy Afghan Bed & Breakfast

What guests think

Travellers describe The Cozy Afghan Bed & Breakfast as a charming historic home with friendly hosts and a walkable location, but note inconsistent room upkeep and comfort plus occasional issues with air conditioning, noise, and accessibility in this older building.

Many appreciate detailed woodwork, spacious and quiet rooms, and the home’s unique character. Several reviews cite aging furnishings, stained linens, worn bathrooms, and occasional lapses in pool upkeep. Feedback on breakfast is split between tasty homemade meals and small portions with tight hours and limited flexibility. Expect a character-filled stay with quirks to match an older home.

This is a lovely historical property. Our room was spacious and the bed was soft but comfortable. The pillows and covers were stained yellow but otherwise the furnishings were clean and tasteful. The weather didn't cooperate for us to try the pool, but it appeared clean. We found the breakfast to be less than other similar properties. Small portions of a set menu with no variation or inquiry as to the guests preferences. We would recommend this property for its historical beauty and location.

Unlike most other B&Bs we have used, the owner lives on-site and attends to all 11 rooms/guests which is a big plus and indicates to us any issues are minor. They were great! Parking lot, common areas, pool, library, entries,dining etc, were very nice and some like main stairs were elaborate. Bed, bedding, bath, shower, floors, windows, etc) were very clean. TV in room has Roku streaming free movies and channels which we have at home. Internet too. Convenient to food, general shopping and entertainment like movie theater. Our bedroom wallpaper & decor was a bit outdated and the bed was a bit soft for our liking. Room could have used a detailed cleaning (corners, chair apolstrey, fireplace, etc) , but nothing major and probably similar to most homes. Really enjoyed our stay.

The pool was cold and had green algae on the bottom of it. If you’re going to use the pool you need to take your own towels they do not provide those in the last 20 years we have gone to this place four times and we don’t feel that we want to go back anymore. You can walk to the downtown restaurants so it is a short distance from town.

Very interesting history and nicely maintained property. When reserving room, traveler should be informed the room may be on the 3rd floor of the house. It wasn’t a problem for me, but could be for some people. The only downside is the breakfast was good but very minimal.

A charming old home - comfortable room. There is no elevator so the second and 3rd floors are not accessible for some. Although the rooms do not have fridges, we were most welcome to store meds and perishables in the kitchen fridge. Host Richard and his mum are most welcoming and kind.

The Cozy Afghan is in a beautiful, historic building in downtown St. Marys. The room was very clean and well appointed. There was a coffee shop and multiple restaurants within easy walking distance. We were in the area for elk viewing and the location was extremely convenient, less than a 30-minute drive from the Keystone Elk Country Visitor Center.

Building and interior are old,the mish mash of chairs in foyer area look like they were trash picked. Outside is plain, no flowers, old, in need of a little landscape or at least a few flowers in pots. The sheets seemed old and were paper thin. Porch outsiide was dirty. No where to sit and relax. Over all so disappointing. Not sure but it seemed the owner was the only one working there. There is nothing to do in close proximity and the town is not at all a place to hang out. No coffee in room or any where near. Sadly this experience has scared me from staying at another bed and breakfast. We did drive to elk visitor center which was a great experience and saw a few elk.

i can describe the place in one word, DUMP! The entrance foyer is as pictured but the rest of the building is a run down dilapidated structure! The carpeting is old and dirty throughout. The ceiling in our room was cracked with a large hole cut in it. A chair in our room was filthy and very stained. The wallpaper was all peeling off the walls with packing tape on all the seams to keep the paper from falling off. Bathroom was no better. Sink and tub are cracked with the fixtures loose and falling off. The shower drain was so slow the water was ankle deep. The toilet tissue holder was falling off the wall. We had a fireplace in the room but it didn't work, the gas was disconnected. Breakfast was 7:30, 8:00 or 8:30, that's all. We didn't eat any day. We have traveled extensively and this is the worst place we have ever stayed in! Absolutely AWFUL!

Nice Owner and family member. The residence is centrally located in the Alleghany Mountain area. My earplugs helped overcome the 60-decibel room noise from the heating system. The cranberry coffee cake/coffee breakfast was tasty and flavorful. I encourage the owner to throw out the king size mattress. It was difficult to sleep in the two deep depressions and we arrived too late in the evening to explore other room options

No access to WiFi as I never saw anyone. Breakfast hours are listed in the dark room so did not see them. Paid extra for room with fireplace to find a sign that was there a while saying “sorry gas off”. Saw no one on checkout either, which is listed as 11 on web, but sign says checkout 10. Furniture in room stained and dirty. Try to use local places, will never stay here again, and would advise people to stay away. Mattress was uncomfortable and had a deep “sink hole” on one side and bed was noisy.

Just disappointed. We went down for breakfast and were served 2 pancakes, a slice of watermelon, a sausage patty and coffee. When I mentioned that I could not eat a pancake because I'm diabetic, they took away the pancakes and never offered anything else saying I should've told them about my dietary concerns the day before. We heard cussing in the kitchen when my plate was taken back. Won't go back again!
