Overall, we had a great time and loved the venue.
At the price point of $400 after taxes and fees, we felt like a few things were lacking.
The shower in the Gatsby Room had very low water pressure.
No Wi-fi was an inconvenience.
The TV was from 20 years ago and very small.
The biggest issue for us was this….
If guests wanted to leave the manor after 10 pm, they had to disturb the inns keeper to constantly open the front door for them. There really should be a door bell or video monitoring system so that guests can come and go as they please. To feel like you're stuck in your room after 10 pm when you're paying $400 for the room is not ideal.
Other than that, we loved the manor, breakfast was great, staff was very helpful, etc.

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.

The front desk person, Vinny, was very kind and helpful. The property itself was beautiful, but the parking lot was a far walk from the manor. My main concern is how they false advertised on Expedia. They advertise free wifi for all rooms, but there was no wifi whatsoever. I have Verizon and my service wasn’t the best in this area, so it wasn’t a great experience on that end. It said online that there was free breakfast and an ironing board available for use (which I needed in the morning); there was no ironing board to be found and breakfast was an additional charge. Additionally, the pictures of our room varied from the actual room in small ways (different bedding, table instead of ledge in front of the bed, etc.) so I think they may have photographed a similar room on the same floor? Overall the venue was pretty and staff were very kind, but the Expedia page is entirely outdated. Make sure to call before you book to make sure they have the amenities you’re looking for.

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.

1. There was zero lighting and the parking was about a mile from the hotel, in the dark!
2. There was no WiFI, even though Wifi was supposed to be available and the reception on my phone to call out was zero.
3. There was no egress or access after 10pmET.
4. There was no outlet to plug in the TV when the AC was plugged in.
5. There was a flood in the room above us, causing the ceiling to collapse while we were asleep and followed by a flood of water entering the room.
6. We checked out at 10:30pm, and was assured by the Hotel Manager that we would not be charged, yet we have a charge on my AMEX.

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!

My daughter and I love staying at The Castle! We went for a special trip to sleep in a real castle, as my daughter is very into Princesses. The morning of our arrival, I received a welcome message from the inn keeper Liz, who I was then later able to let know we were running late. She greeted us outside when we arrived, which was so welcoming. Tip: Pull up to the Castle to unload items, then park in Lot A (closest lot). Liz was very helpful in getting us settled and throughout the evening as we needed things; she's very kid friendly. We stayed in the Queen's Suite, which was totally worth the full feel of being "in a castle." I loved that the bathtub was deep enough for me to take a full soaking bath in and also had the removable shower head which was perfect for rinsing my daughter off after her bath. The room was gorgeous- there was detailed wood carved paneling all around and gorgeous outside views. While there were a few not perfect physical aspects (ex. chipped paint in sink), it totally made sense because we were in a 100 year old castle and it helped remind us of the history and add to the feel. The water was instantly hot for us everytime, not sure if we just got lucky with that. In the morning, Liz was ready for us with a WONDERFUL breakfast of fluffy scrambled eggs and fluffy pancakes (as requested by my daughter), obviously both freshly made. We also enjoyed touring the grounds. We loved staying here and will return. Thank you Liz for being such a welcoming host!

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.

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.
