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.

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!!

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!

Beautiful historic property run by a pro. It’s a treat to be hosted by someone who really knows her business, from responding to each guest’s interests in this beautiful area to preparing an amazing breakfast. The inn itself is a remarkable historic building. A special experience.

Great hospitality and really nice host. Building is historic so the floors creak and the shower is a bathtub but otherwise a great stay. Breakfast was amazing- totally gourmet/ and the bed was comfy. Really appreciated the host accommodating my late checkin.

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!

Kiddos to this beautiful Inn!
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. Spending the night in such a beautiful place was delightful!

Delightful! We could not have selected a better choice of a place to stay in Princeton. The Inn is exquisite, the service friendly, responsive and excellent, and the location was wonderful. I hope I will have an opportunity to return, and would recommend the Inn at Glencairn to anyone.
