The Lillagaard Bed and Breakfast

Dick and Jane are great hosts. Offered a beautiful tailor-made breakfast (including gluten-free items). We did not choose a room with an ocean view but the B&B is close enough to the ocean that we could hear the waves breaking through the night- very soothing. I went for a run in morning on boardwalk and did yoga on the balcony with stellar views of the beach. We were in the watermelon room- small but cute.

Everything about this place was awesome. But I'd at least like to explain myself on the 3 stars for the room. The arrangement of the furniture made the room feel slightly smaller than it really is. Also the sink was in the bedroom and not the bathroom. The last thing was that there were no outlets in the bathroom either. With that being said, Jane was very accommodating in any questions and are requests about check in, the area, and whatever else we asked. Highly recommend this place to stay. Stayed during the off season so the price was well worth it, I'd imagine that it would be just as worth it in the middle of summer as well.

Loved meeting old classmates for our reunion, Jane and Dick were so courteous, I would stay again, if I had a normal room

We were pleasantly surprised to have such wonderful innkeepers. Friendly and will accommodate any special needs a guest might have. Great breakfast, clean and aloways some candy in beautiful china dishes. Two fabulous porches, makes me think I am in a different time. A great vacation.

A most enjoyable weekend at Lillagaard. The B & B was cozy & Dick & Jane, the Innkeepers, we're most welcoming. Sitting on the porch & watchingmthemocean waves was truly relaxing. I would Highly recommend.

Every time we come down the shore we are staying in Lillagaard. This is a great place, has perfect location, and you can’t find a better breakfast anywhere! Jane and Dick – you rock!

The room was small but the location could not of been better.We would certainly stay there again.

Nice relaxing weekend in Ocean Grove at the Lillagaard. Dick and Jane were very friendly and helpful, made us feel at home. Would definately stay again.

We decided last minute to go to the Lillagaard to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and we are so glad we did. From the moment we got there we felt welcome! Thanks Dick and Jane!!!

My friend and I were well received. The owner was attentive to our needs face. The ambience of the place was nice. However, we found the room very small.

Wonderful place! Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean. The location was great, just across the street from the boardwalk. Breakfast in the morning was delicious. I would definitely stay here again.

The rooms are so lovely, easy walking to the beach , the Innkeepers Dick and Jane are so lovely and clearly go out of their way to be sure everything is to our satisfaction, hard to find that dedication today! Were pleasantly surprised to find the breakfasts charmingly delicious. We are definitley looking forward to our next stay at the Lillagaard .

My husband and I stayed at this lovely inn last summer for a weekend getaway, and it was spectacular. The rooms are lovely and clean, the common areas are beautiful and the open porches are the perfect place to enjoy the ocean breeze. The proprietors were gracious and accomodating, and the breakfast delicious. I would definitely recommend this beautiful inn.

We had a lovely week-end. Inn keepers were charming and exceptional detail. Loved the breakfast . I wanted to stay in ALL the rooms!! Each room had it's own artistic detail. Loved the breakfast and LOVED walking the beach!

My wife Judy and I spent a week in August 2010 in the Lillagaard Inn, Ocean Grove, NJ. We found it a pleasant and relaxing experience. The Inn is just a half a block from the beach, and from the second story terrace, there is a great view of the surf coming to the shore, and the people enjoying the sunshine and the sea. The Inn is furnished in the style of Queen Victoria, with collection of teapots, hats, shawls and paintings from the epoch. It does take you back in time, where gracious living and good manners were de rigueur. The breakfasts consisted of healthy wholesome food, well prepared, and tastefully served. The rooms were cozy, and well decorated. All in all, it was a great week.

I have stayed her many a time. The rooms are adequate, and the breakfast is reasonable if you are on a tight budget. Dick and Jane are wonderful innkeepers. We love to sit on the porches and relax with a glass of wine.

I'm a city girl and have stayed at the Lillagaard multiple times. I always find it peaceful and the staff and innkeepers gracious. I even had my bridal shower there in the tea room and the service was nothing less than the best. My guests raved about the food for a long time afterward. The ambiance was bar none-the best. Minutes from the beach, I love being at the Lillagaard where I can let my worries go and be well taken care of.

Rest and relaxation is what we needed. Especially my husband, returning from a brutal 2-week business trip to 5 countries in Europe. After an easy drive from Newark airport we were checked in to the Lillagaard and on the beach in less than 2 hours. Our room for the weekend was a cozy, tiny little room with an airconditioner in the window and a ceiling fan for air circulation. The toilet and shower were ouside the room just around the corner. The Lillagaard's gorgeous porches were perfect for reading, chatting with other guests or just turning your face into the ocean breeze and gazing out to sea. For variety. the beach was two houses away. Breakfast was a mix of frozen and homemade. On our first morrning the scent of cinnamon led the way to the basement breakfast room. A large pan of homemade cinnamon laced bread pudding drew our attention to the buffet table, which was loaded with bacon, eggs, frozen pancakes, breads, fruit salad and cereals. Something for everyone. And the price was right too! My husband's jet lag never gained momemtum at that restful and relaxing retreat. Go there. It's lovely.

The Lillagaard.....what a FABULOUS B&B!! From the moment I saw the front porch I knew that this was the place for me, so cozy and welcoming. Once inside I had the same feeling. Such a comfortable home. Exceptionally clean with a beautifully decorated room. Loved the breakfasts....various hot or cold choices each morning. Jane and Dick were great hosts and the staff very accomodating. I will return next year!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lillagaard. Our room was beautiful and we were lucky to sneak a peek at others--which are all uniquely decorated. They have this wonderfully large front porch that has a view of the ocean. It was our favorite place to have our morning coffee before heading to the beach. Oh...the breakfast was delicious too. They had a nice variety from eggs, bread pudding and fruit to cereal, bagels and chocolate croissants. Yum! Can't wait for our next visit.

Jane and Dick are warm and welcoming. From the beginning you are treated like family with open arms. Rooms are comfortable and cozy and the ocean is just footsteps away. A great deal in Ocean Grove.

We just got back from the shore in Ocean Grove, NJ and my family stayed at the Lillagaard B & B. The service and hospitality was fabulous. Relaxing on the porch and looking at the ocean was breathtaking. I especially liked the breakfast, the rooms and the hospitality. It was like a home away from home. Susan from Ohio
