The Publick House Review

Step back in time at this rambling 1771 inn, where rooms are Colonial in design, with wide plank floors, period antiques and reproductions, and canopy beds; public areas, including several dining rooms and a tavern, have original woodwork and fireplaces, and the whole property, with 60 surrounding acres, sits on the picturesque Town Green. It also owns and maintains the neighboring Chamberlain House, consisting of six larger suites (all need serious updating), and the Country Motor Lodge, with spacious, no-frills motel-style rooms.

    Hotel Details

  • 14 rooms, 3 suites in main inn.
  • Rate includes no meals.

    Publick House Historic Inn Review

    Tired. It doesn't have a soul anymore. Who is the manager anyways? Our meals were just adequate at breakfast. Grounds is still beautiful and the place looks the same, but the staff? Tourist place for sure. Go to the Old Sturbridge Village while in town. The bartender efficient. Look around for some other "Historic" Inn. Be sure to stay in the original house if you must stay.
