I was treated like a guest with a mint on my pillow, a tour when requested, and complimentary treats. The grounds are breathtaking and endless, with lots of trails to explore. Breakfast was on the veranda overlooking the koi pond. Rooms are nice. Bathrooms are shared for base rooms between a few rooms, but you are basically spending a night in a museum, so who cares!

Stunning castle and beautiful grounds. Room is amazing and very quiet. Only one staff person and it feels very different from the usual hotel. Very few other people here. Parking is a bit of walk away.

The property is a 100 yr old estate.I didn’t expect a 2022 hotel setting. I enjoy the castle and it history. I was mildly disappointed in the continental breakfast though.

Beautiful, gracious, mansion!

Was looking for something "out of the ordinary" for our trip, and found this was just a little off our route, BUT WELL WORTH THE DRIVE! We LOVE this most BEAUTIFUL mansion! Took lot of pictures! Just wish the elevator had been working - I have bad knees, and had to walk up 48 steps to our room! Still, I'd recommend this beautiful place to friends going anywhere near it!
Impressive main entrance!
I see why it's called a "Castle"
Most beautiful stained glass window on stair landing
Very lovely Atrium!

Absolutely amazing! I never knew there was a castle in NJ. It was quiet, picturesque and awesome. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in September, the Innkeeper was friendly and answered any questions. The grounds were beautiful; there were gardens, statues and a koi pond. Breakfast each day had plenty of options. We didn't have any plans on the 2nd day and it was perfect because we spent it exploring everything we could about the castle. I highly recommend, I can't wait to go back.

Absolutely wonderful stay! Rented a goegeous room in the castle for a couple days for husband and I 27 yr wedding anniversary, and we had a blast! Big bwautiful castle with big spacious rooms. My husnams and I stayed during the week and we practically had the whole castle to ourselves!! The Inn keeper is amazing! Lemon water and cookies available all day. Lots of choices for breakfast. Lots of land and garden to walk and roam. This place is beautiful and very comfortable! I'm so glad we got a room in this castle instead of a typical hotel. Are room was huge! Loved, loved, loved. Will stay at again when I come back to this area of the states.

Fun time

This is a very charming place to stay and I enjoyed it. My only issue was personal for me being a cancer patient I was unaware that parking was a distance and there is no elevator. Luckily there were chairs in the hall so I took a flight with my things and then sat to get my wind back.

Parking was far from building, pitch dark walk. Woman at Desk was not friendly, seemed like we were bothering her on check in.. There was no heat in room, the water in bathroom never got warm/hot...never. Breakfast was nice as was server, grounds beautiful. When we asked woman about a cup of coffee she seemed annoyed that we had to make her get up to show us hot to operate coffee machine. Elevator wasn't working and we had to lug suitcases up two flights to room. No one showed us to room.

Absolutely terrible people. Called to move to later date due to COVID. Was told to change through booking company. Booking company never could get ahold of the Castle. Then they charged me the full cost without even helping. I gave more than 24hr notice too. Absolutely atrocious. Would never recommend. Do better by people who are sick beyond their control. Gross

This is a beautiful setting, but they should skip the b&b and stick with special events hosting. The innkeeper was inattentive and made no attempt to make us feel welcome or accommodated. When booking a "bed and breakfast" guests expect a hot breakfast, not stale Danish and bagels with lukewarm tea. Ran the water in our bathroom for 30 minutes before we got even warm water - and that only room temperature, not hot enough for a shower. Then we were unable to turn the tap off completely and it dripped all night. The innkeeper was disinterested when we told her the next morning. Left as quickly as we could in the morning to have breakfast elsewhere.

Overall, we had a great time and loved the venue. At the price point of $400 after taxes and fees, we felt like a few things were lacking. The shower in the Gatsby Room had very low water pressure. No Wi-fi was an inconvenience. The TV was from 20 years ago and very small. The biggest issue for us was this…. If guests wanted to leave the manor after 10 pm, they had to disturb the inns keeper to constantly open the front door for them. There really should be a door bell or video monitoring system so that guests can come and go as they please. To feel like you're stuck in your room after 10 pm when you're paying $400 for the room is not ideal. Other than that, we loved the manor, breakfast was great, staff was very helpful, etc.

1. There was zero lighting and the parking was about a mile from the hotel, in the dark! 2. There was no WiFI, even though Wifi was supposed to be available and the reception on my phone to call out was zero. 3. There was no egress or access after 10pmET. 4. There was no outlet to plug in the TV when the AC was plugged in. 5. There was a flood in the room above us, causing the ceiling to collapse while we were asleep and followed by a flood of water entering the room. 6. We checked out at 10:30pm, and was assured by the Hotel Manager that we would not be charged, yet we have a charge on my AMEX.

The front desk person, Vinny, was very kind and helpful. The property itself was beautiful, but the parking lot was a far walk from the manor. My main concern is how they false advertised on Expedia. They advertise free wifi for all rooms, but there was no wifi whatsoever. I have Verizon and my service wasn’t the best in this area, so it wasn’t a great experience on that end. It said online that there was free breakfast and an ironing board available for use (which I needed in the morning); there was no ironing board to be found and breakfast was an additional charge. Additionally, the pictures of our room varied from the actual room in small ways (different bedding, table instead of ledge in front of the bed, etc.) so I think they may have photographed a similar room on the same floor? Overall the venue was pretty and staff were very kind, but the Expedia page is entirely outdated. Make sure to call before you book to make sure they have the amenities you’re looking for.
