Pendry Natirar

We recently attended a family wedding at a picturesque venue in Pendy, and while the surroundings were stunning, our experience at the hotel left much to be desired. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the pros and cons: 1. **Pricing and Room Conditions**: The cost of the room appeared to be exorbitant, especially considering it was just for a single night. I’m unsure if this was due to seasonal pricing, but it felt steep for what we received. One significant drawback was the absence of a shut-off for the balcony lights; they remained illuminated all night, attracting numerous insects into the room. Because of this, I couldn’t enjoy leaving the balcony door open or even step outside to take advantage of the lovely area. 2. **Dining Experience**: When we dined at the hotel, I was disheartened to encounter a cockroach in the dining area. Although the staff promptly dealt with the issue, they did not offer any form of compensation or service discount, which seemed like a missed opportunity to uphold customer satisfaction. Additionally, my cocktail was served incorrectly, and given that some guests at the wedding had nut allergies, the staff needed to exercise greater caution in their food preparation and service. The servers appeared to be typical minimum-wage workers who likely could benefit from additional training in customer service. Overall, the food quality was disappointing and not worth the high prices they charged. It lacked any elements of creativity or finesse that one would expect from a luxury venue. 3. **Luxury Amenities and Accessibility**: The hotel positions itself as a luxury hotel and country club, catering to those seeking a 'getaway' without venturing far from home. However, the parking facilities were inconveniently located, and if you opted for valet service, it came at an additional cost. This could be frustrating for guests looking to enjoy the full experience without the hassle of parking. 4. **Spa Services**: The spa area was clean and well-maintained, but my experience was marred by the inadequate number of hosts available to assist guests. For instance, the mud room, which we were eager to use, was only available on a first-come, first-served basis. This approach is less than ideal; I believe staff should be designated to manage reservations for guests who have booked spa services in advance, to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable experience. In summary, while Pendy has its charm and can serve as a close-to-home getaway for those willing to spend, I personally believe there are better venues out there that offer more value for the money. This is just my perspective, and perhaps your experience would differ.

We stayed here just the one night to celebrate our anniversary. I've stayed at a few Pendry hotels now, and this one certainly lived up to my expectations. The facilities, grounds and rooms are stunning. The hotel has been open less than two years so everything still felt new and in great condition. Unfortunately, we stayed the weekend before Memorial Day so the pool wasn't open, however, we walked past it and are already planning our return just to use the pool. It was large and had plenty of lounge chairs and looked like a great way to spend a Summer day. We dined at Ladd's Tavern and 90 Acres and both were delicious, especially 90 Acres! We loved that our room had a small little terrace where we could sit outside and enjoy the surrounds. The property is within an hour of New York, and you wouldn't know you were in the New Jersey countryside. It is incredibly relaxing and you feel secluded from everything - in a good way! I will say that getting here would be much more convenient with car. We took the train from Manhattan to Peapack station and then a short 10 minute uber to the property, which took a little over 2 1/2 hours. All in all it was an incredible getaway for the weekend and would love to come back.

Beautiful hotel and spa with amazing amenities. All of this while being a short drive from home. The grounds are very pretty and the staff is exceptional. We had a wonderful dinner at Ninety Acres. Highly recommend!

The spa deserves five stars as does Ninety Acres, one of the on property restaurants. Both are expensive, but deliver five star experiences. The hotel and Ladd's Tavern both have room to improve. Hotel: We stayed in a one-bedroom suite in the new building. We made sure to book a view of the grounds. Nothing about this new building feels special. It is sparsely furnished and ice cold. The bathroom is vast but there are no shelves, no hooks, low water pressure. It's fine, but nothing feels welcoming or luxurious. Public rooms in the old building are inviting and we loved sitting by the fire. I wish this English country house feel was reflected in the new building. Having stayed at actual estates in Somerset, right now the Pendry feels like it's over promising. It's a pleasant setting with some lovely walks. But the farm tour and animal encounter are underwhelming and there are no real gardens to speak of. Ladd's Tavern: Service was friendly if not polished. Hit or miss on food. This place is... fine. But given the prices it needs to do better, especially because it's your go-to for breakfast and lunch on property. If you're going to charge me nearly $30 for oatmeal, it better be delicious. Bacon was paper thin and bone dry so essentially devoid of all the things that make bacon delicious. Decent omelet, solid roast chicken and salads, good but under seasoned beef tartar and chicken liver mousse. Ninety Acres is FANTASTIC. Phenomenal service and food. Well worth the trip. We had a nice trip but I don't think we'd return. I would absolutely recommend locals check out the spa and Ninety Acres.

An exceptional estate surrounded by beautiful nature. I highly recommend a farm tour, time at the spa, and dining at Ninety Acres. A special thank you to Angeline and Hannah at reception, Michele the bellman, Yvans and Isabelle at Ladd’s, Nelson at Ninety Acres, and Melinda from the farm. You truly made us feel at home.
