If you want a quiet, historical experience, then this is the venue. It's not new, shiny - but that is not why you go there. It is a beautiful Tudor-style hotel, with old fixtures, antique windows, and the charm of a storybook castle. The innkeeper is lovely and the grounds are beautiful. We missed peak colors by a week or two and are considering a quick trip back! Buffet breakfast was just right.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Have stayed here before and had a wonderful time. This time not so much!!! Room was fine. However the caretaker was quite rude. There were other couples staying and he was overheard yelling I wish this F’ ing people would leave. Morning for breakfast was a joke . It’s supposed to be a continental breakfast , we literally had cold sugary cereal , store bout small Brownie bites, petafores and soggy macaroons. Also packaged waffles but there was no syrup or anything to put on it. Shame as we love the manor to enjoy a great night with friends , but I doubt we will return

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.
