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!

Our stay at the Inn at Glencairn was fantastic. My wife, daughter and I were in town for a lacrosse tournament and the room was very comfortable for the three of us. The home itself is very charming and Lydia goes way above and beyond to ensure that her guests feel welcome and are well-fed! Lydia’s breakfasts were nothing short of outstanding and the perfect way to start each of our days in Princeton. I highly recommend the Inn at Glencairn and it will be our destination when next we visit Princeton.

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!

Lovingly restored antique inn which was very comfortable. For antique home buffs, there are lots of interesting details which can delight (see the 18th century window locks, for example.) Lydia, the Innkeeper, is warm and welcoming. She is a great communicator and does an excellent job of making guests feel comfortable. The breakfast was 5 stars. The location is in Lawrenceville, just outside Princeton. It's peaceful and restful. The Inn at Glencairn is a lovely respite if you are in need of some care.

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!!
