We stayed at this B&B for two nights in September after looking at pictures on their web site. Lamont and Nancy are gracious hosts, and Lamont prepared great breakfasts both days. Nancy prepared a yummy baked item. Directions to local restaurants were appreciated, but directions to the train to NYC were poor. While the place is old and charming, this house could have used a good cleaning. The entry had the same dust balls for all three days we were there. The room we stayed in had bath toilet items left from a previous guest and a half empty water bottle left on the dresser. The air conditioner and window sills were very dirty. The room was advertised as having two recliners, but one didn't work. We did enjoy the hosts and with a little work, this could be a great B&B.

We have just returned from our road trip to some of Canada and across to North & East states of America and I have to say that our stay at 'The Pillars' was spectacular, just like a page from a story book. The home is a gorgeous old Victorian B & B with each room decorated and kept to the ultimate in distinction. Lamont & Nancy are so tuned into the needs and comforts of their guess that you never have to ask for anything because it's already their or done.
We chose to have our morning breakfast out on the porch which each morning was just another culinary delight. Also at times the company of our hosts to sit with us relaxing on the porch swaping stories made you feel like you were at home with family or your best friends.
When you do ask for direction or information of the area and beyond they are able to not only tell you and give you choices but also give you maps, timetales etc. before you go on your way so there is no chance of getting lost..
We took our toy poodle on this trip with us and not only were we made to feel at home so was she. We can't recommend 'The Pillars of Plainfield' enough, it is the best.

Myself and my 2 teenage sons had the most relaxing 3 night stay at this homely bed and breakfast run by a charming couple. Nothing was too much trouble. We were given comprehensive directions and information about the local area and beyond. Also a list of recommended restraunts of where to eat for a varied budget. The tastefully themed room and en suite shower room were extremley clean and the bed was heavenly. We had a different gourmet breakfast every day with a choice of time to eat and a daily paper in a beautifully laid up Dining room. There was a plentiful supply of freshly baked cookies, soda and sherry which could be enjoyed sitting in a wicker swing on the porch or in the comfortable sitting room. The property is located in a quiet residential street in a town that is well positioned with easy access to the interstate and has a train service (around 1 hour) to Manhattan. I cannot recommend this establishment highly enough.

We visited this B&B on an open house. Though we did not stay there overnight it was charming to visit. The new owners are very nice people. We toured the home and are planning a visit very soon. The new owners are in the process of changing many things in the home. We spent much time talking with them. The home in the present state is still very beautiful and clean. We have stayed in many B&B's and this one measures up to the best that we stayed in. We are looking forward to our stay in the next few months. We would recommend this property to anyone.
