Breakfast was excellent, Lydia super friendly! Can’t wait to go back!

Excellent property, great location, and fantastic breakfast. The gem of the inn is manager Lydia, who also happens to be an amazing chef. She is extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable. I look forward to returning again very soon!

Easy to find right outside of Princeton. Quiet and peaceful! Breakfast was incredible!

Breakfast was delicious--polenta and fresh scrambled eggs. The hostess of the property was very welcoming, accommodating and easy-going. She gave me great suggestions on local sights.

The Inn Keeper was super sweet and the breakfast was delicious. Everything from the grounds, to the rooms, and company was fabulous.

Lydia our host was fabulous. The property was beautiful - sitting rooms, patio, yard, bedrooms. It is an historic property with a wonderful vintage feel. Perfect for a relaxing getaway, and a great home base close to Princeton if visiting children or friends at the school.

Well cared for property, Lydia is a very good host, all details are cared for.

Beautiful B&B, lovely grounds, well maintained. The amenities were more than I expected and very thoughtful. It was wonderful to take a glass of wine, home baked cookies, fruit and sit out back watching the sun set. Very relaxing. Beautiful rooms with very comfortable beds. The breakfast was delicious.

breakfast was amazing, location for me was perfect

Food was plentiful and extremely flavorful. Enjoyed the country, cozy ambience of a 1700 period home close to downtown Princeton and surrounding areas. Spring was in full bloom which made our trip even more special.

Host Info

The Inn at Glencairn is one of the oldest structures between Philadelphia and New York City. The foundation dates back to the early 1700s and has been added on to many times since then. The stone side of the Manor was taken over by Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War and then reclaimed after the war was over. Many of the outbuildings also date back to the early 1700s. The red frame barn on the property was relocated during the 1970s from a property in Dutch Neck, New Jersey by the current owners of the New Jersey Barn Company.
Our Innkeeper, Lydia, is a professionally trained chef who has traveled extensively throughout the US and Europe. She is available throughout your stay to make sure you are comfortable and to meet your needs. Her breakfasts are second to none and our favorite is named Eggs Glencairn, a modern twist on a traditional Eggs Benedict with prosciutto, farm fresh greens, and seasonal vegetables topped with her own lite Hollandaise.
The Inn at Glencairn is located on Kings Highway, named for George Washington's march from Trenton to Princeton. Many historic houses and buildings can be seen on the scenic drive, ranging from stone colonials, Georgian manors, and Victorian lovelies! The towns of Lawrenceville and Princeton are chock full of fabulous restaurants and places to visit. There is plenty to do in the area for the day or the week!
