    Nice Place to Stay

    December 26, 2012

    We stayed with our young daughter and Phyl was very accomodating. I would return here if staying in the area again.

    Very Disappointing

    August 15, 2012

    I am usually in agreement with the majority of a locations reviews however for this particular property I couldn't possibly be. I did not find Phyl to be as gracious as most other guests have suggested. From my first contact with her I found that I had to repeatedly reach out to her for email confirmation of our reservation and its subsequent change. Upon our arrival I found the room (Isaac Hilliard Suite) to have a strong musty odor and extremely warm. There were torrential rain storms shortly before our arrival and during the tour of the room we were directed to a plastic bucket which we were instructed to move where needed should the rain begin again. We were asked about dietary restrictions at which point I explained my aversion to eggs, yet both days we were served eggs for breakfast. During the meals when asking for more juice and/or cream it was taken from the table of the other guests. Very tacky! When we inspected the pool we found it dirty, cloudy and green as opposed to the luxurious blue the picture on their website suggests. The landscaping surrounding the pool was also overgrown. The grounds as a whole were unkempt with bags of garbage strewn around. I clearly understand the house is old, as the Innkeeper will most likely reply. But there is old/charming and there is old/in need of repair. I suggest the latter. There were cracks in the walls and ceilings in every room, cob webs between the panes of glass in every window and debris on the window sills. For $180 a night we felt that we had been taken for a ride. The final insult came upon our departure when we mistakenly thought checkout was 12:00PM. Not only was the hour passed thrown in our faces, a gratuity was also requested. When we explained our dissatisfaction and the fact that the price we paid should include the gratuity, we were told that this was not a "glitzy" place, but in our minds they wanted a glitzy price. This is a DO NOT RETURN property.

    Innkeeper Response
    The innkeepers are dismayed that the guests chose to stay the entire weekend at a place that, on arrival did not meet their expectations. In fact, they stayed longer than any other weekend guest on that weekend. A total of seven confirmation emails were sent to the guest No messages were returned. We had no idea when these guests would arrive When we receive notification of a guests' time of arrival, we will ensure the room's air condition is turned on. . A ceiling leak was repaired prior to the guests arival. As a precaution, a receptacle was provided in case the newly repaired tin roof did not withstand the torrential rains that were expected to continue. The guest said his aversion was to egg yolks. On day one all guests were served poached eggs. The guest enjoyed the egg whites. Our breakfast on day 2 was a casserole. The guest was offered an alternate breakfast dish but said he was fine with the fresh fruit and toast and bacon. The guest was informed prior to booking the room that the pool may not be available for use due to new regulation imposed by the Burlington County Health department. As the guest mentioned, there were torrential rains up to their arrival. Having received dangerous weather warnings external clean-up was deferred due to torrential rain, lightening and thunder. Since all our guest rooms were occupied, it was impossible for the guest to see every room. When initially booking the reservation. the guest rquested an early check-in. The check-in and check-out times were explained to him. So there was no mistake in not knowing the check-out time. In conclusion, had these guests expressed their severe displeasure shortly after their arrival, the innkeepers would have waived the normal penalty for shortened stays and aborted this booking so that the Bed and Breakfast gift card presented as payment could be used elsewhere.

    A Pleasant stay

    May 23, 2012

    We couldn't find a room closer to the Jersey shore because of a major event in town, but we were happy to have discovered Isaac Hilliard House. We stayed in the Cranberry room. It was small, which I had requested, but comfortable. I love quaint bed and breakfasts. If you're looking for a sterile hotel room, stay in a large chain hotel, but if you're looking for charm and a personable innkeeper, try the Isaac Hilliard house. Phyl took good care of us. She answered any questions we had and prepared a lovely breakfast each morning. We took a nice walk on a trail near the old train station and ended up in an interesting antique shop. We had everything we needed for a pleasant stay.

    A home away from home in the Pinelands

    October 08, 2011

    After much hunting around on the internet for a place to stay while hiking in the Pinelands, I found this B&B. It's not far from several good hiking trails, so if you need a quiet room with a gracious hostess, this is the place.

    Comfort near the PineBarrens

    October 03, 2010

    We had a comfortable 2 night stay at the Isaac Hilliard House. We stayed in the Cranberry room, located in the back of the house. The room is small, but roomy enough to be comfortable. The air conditioner was noisy, but the weather cooled off and we slept in comfort with an open window and the ceiling fan running. There is a large in-ground pool for use in the warm weather. The proprietor of the house directed us to a large basket with fresh towels to use around the pool. This was certainly a nice added feature. Breakfast included coffee, juice and fruit both mornings in addition to the morning entree. We took advantage of the playhouse down the street, and attended the Saturday night performance which was extremely entertaining. We were able to walk to the playhouse fro the B&B. There is a large, private parking lot in the back of the property, away from the road, for added convenience. I highly recommend staying at the Isaac Hilliard House if you are in the Pemberton, NJ area.
