*review for restaurant only* we went for a celebratory dinner - the place is cute and the dining room was cozy and not too loud. the service was excellent. i appreciated a hearty vegetarian entree option - the Moroccan Pot Pie. the crust was unimaginably flaky and they didn’t skimp on the portion size. would definitely love to try brunch there.
Peacock Inn has it all excellent service, rooms, best staff especially the cleaning staff love them. One of our top 3 most favorite hotels we feel like family have started so many times.
I celebrated my 50th birthday here, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The entire staff was outstanding—from valet to the receptionist to the wait staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, making every guest feel welcomed and well taken care of. The food was absolutely delicious—compliments to the chef. We received so much positive feedback from our guests on both the quality and presentation of the lunch. A special thank you to Jules, who was amazing to work with while planning the event. She was attentive, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process. Jules and Julian ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of the event, allowing me to relax and fully enjoy the celebration. Our head waiter, Jared, was exceptional. He made sure every guest—even those who arrived late—was able to place their order and be served promptly. His professionalism and attention to detail truly stood out. The event was exactly as I had imagined—and even more. I am so grateful to the entire team for helping create such a beautiful and memorable celebration. Highly recommend for any special occasion!
A convenient location if you need to stay near the Princeton University. The hotel is well maintained and nicely furnished. Parking is a little bit confusing, but the hotel will take care of it for you. Decent continental breakfast in the morning, get there early before it runs out. Overall a pleasant and comfortable stay.
I brought my mom and two-year-old son to the Peacock Inn for afternoon tea on January 3 as a post-Christmas present. We had a wonderful time and the service and food was excellent. We will definitely be back in the future!
My fiancé and I just finished our stay at the Peacock Inn. They were so kind and accommodating for our entire weekend stay. They helped with our late check in, and allowed us to leave our bags so we can enjoy a wonderful day in Princeton together. Still can’t speak enough to the kindness we were met with from the very beginning of our trip. Our room (which was graciously upgraded) was clean and beautiful. Next time we visit we will be sure to enjoy the dining as well. Can’t recommend enough!!
We attended a baby shower at the Peacock Inn and it was wonderful. Food was delicious, the staff was kind and attentive and the room was lovely. We had a wonderful l and memorable time and would recommend this location for an event. Thank you again for the hospitality
A Big shout out to the Owner’s here…. Due to the snow on Sunday my GF and I were unable to get to this lovey B&B. Our reservation was unable to be cxled because it was the day before and I reserved our stay through a 3rd party. I called this morning and they were able to accommodate our reservations and we are here today ,Monday. Great customer service and I appreciate you honoring my stay at no additional cost…Tony Brielle NJ
