Our stay at the Inn at Glencairn was fantastic. My wife, daughter and I were in town for a lacrosse tournament and the room was very comfortable for the three of us. The home itself is very charming and Lydia goes way above and beyond to ensure that her guests feel welcome and are well-fed! Lydia’s breakfasts were nothing short of outstanding and the perfect way to start each of our days in Princeton. I highly recommend the Inn at Glencairn and it will be our destination when next we visit Princeton.

Lovingly restored antique inn which was very comfortable. For antique home buffs, there are lots of interesting details which can delight (see the 18th century window locks, for example.) Lydia, the Innkeeper, is warm and welcoming. She is a great communicator and does an excellent job of making guests feel comfortable. The breakfast was 5 stars. The location is in Lawrenceville, just outside Princeton. It's peaceful and restful. The Inn at Glencairn is a lovely respite if you are in need of some care.

Faultless B&B

Staying on business - what a fantastic change from the usual business hotel. A fantastic breakfast in the price, comfortable and spacious room. The Georgian farmhouse is a great location, feels substantial and is very welcoming. Lydia, the inn keeper was a faultless host.

I love the historical feel combined with modern amenities of the inn. The quaintness of the common rooms, with wine, cookies, tea and honey abound to homemade soaps in the bathrooms. The attention to detail can not be missed. The food …. The innkeeper attended culinary school and the breakfast was exceptional. Will for sure return to this gem.

The Inn

Lydia is a great host who presented a wonderfully delicious breakfast. The Inn is comfy and convenient to Princeton by car. It was built in the late 1700’s so expect creaky wood floors which we felt added to its charm. The bed was very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again!!

I travel frequently and have trouble sleeping in most hotel rooms. This was the first time in months that I actually slept. The inn is a charming and historic place on a beautiful plot of land. I was able to go through the countryside for my morning run and chase that with a delicious and healthy breakfast. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

One-night stay at halfway point to our final destination. Great choice of accommodation : small, cozy, beautiful, clean and comfortable with AC! Lydia the innkeeper/ chef had everything organized for our late check-in so everything went smoothly after our long 5 + hour drive . The bed was great, breakfast was delicious. Lydia is wonderful.

We stayed here while in town for a college tour, and loved it! The home is beautifully appointed, and the breakfast was nothing short of amazing. The owner was friendly and accessible, and thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, from a sound machine next to the bed, freshly baked cookies and chilled water in the room, to wine, coffee and tea in the great room. We slept very well, and were sad to leave!
