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.

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.

The grounds are very cool and scenic. There is no bathroom in the bedroom. The bed and pillows are very poor and the room smells like mold.

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.

Liked that I was able to drop off luggage before my check-in time but wish someone was available to bring it up the stairs because holding luggage and opening several hallway doors was inconvenient. More staff needed.

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.
