“"A great B&B!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 1, 2011

My wife and I were warmly welcomed into this beautiful house, by the warm and friendly innkeepers, Jon and Suzie. The Inn is clean, neat, warm and homely. The innkeepers went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. They even helped us to get to an appointment in town when the taxi did not arrive on time by driving us into town. We would return to the Inn if we were in Princeton again. DD from South Africa

“Cozy In a Storm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2011

My wife and I arrived at the Inn on October 29th in the middle of a Nor'Easter. The Innkeepers, Jon and Susana were incredible! They saved some cheese and goodies for us, the bed was most comfortable and the ambience just right. Breakfast the next day was perfect, very different and very tasty. As for the restoration of the Inn, nothing short of gorgeous. We are intending to return soon!

“Awesome Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 7, 2011

I can't agree more with the reviews we read before choosing to stay here. I guess that's why we love tripadvisor. The house is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The furnishings and artwork are ecletic in a good way. First-rate breakfast and caring help. Awesome night's sleep on comfy bed. Not far from home, but our visit took us light years from reality. We'll definitely be back again.

“Light as a feather, Stiff as a board.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2011

Wow was this a huge disappointment. First the good. The house was really beautiful and seeing so much of it restored to its original was really a treat. I especially liked the sitting room in the oldest part of the house.

Now the rest. My husband and I just wanted an overnight getaway. The kids were staying at their grandparents' and we just wanted a night without a baby monitor waking us up. Our requirements were pretty basic. We discovered the Inn at Glencairn through all the fabulous reviews on this site. What we found when we got there was a bed (promised to be a queen but was a full) that was, no exaggeration, no softer than sleeping on the 200+ year old floor and a shower that had 2.5 minutes of hot water before going luke warm at best.

“A satisfactory B & B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2011

This is a very old house that has been made into a B & B. Some of it is quite historic. Our room was spacious, but furnished with just old furniture. The bathroom was new and excellent. The host was personable and showed us a cabinet in the hall that included extra toothbrushes, toothpaste and other personal items for our use, if necessary. The living room was nice, but the lower room with the fireplace (from the original 1600's house) was rather gloomy and we did not use it. The breakfast guests were convivial. But breakfast was not good and not what I expected. This is not a lux place, but it is satisfactory.
