Love this place! Have stayed in both summer and winter, the Inn is charming and unique, the bakery is delicious. The onsite restaurant is really good, but there are a lot of great restaurants nearby, plenty of things to do in nicer weather, and even in the snow if you are outdoorsy.

The hotel was cute and quaint. A village like feeling. The parking for registration was a little confusing since there are only handicapped parking by the hotel lobby door.

The historic part of the hotel is as you would expect small. I recommend staying in the newer buildings. We stayed in the infamous Room 40 of the historic section. It’s definitely a bit creepy and is allegedly haunted. It features a huge antique King size sleigh bed. Great for couples. We didn’t see any ghosts, but the desk got complaints that we were moving furniture around and the TV was loud. Neither of which was true.

Wonderful historic inn in Sturbridge

We love to stay at Publick House when we visit Old Sturbridge visit. It is a wonderful hotel that offers all the modern conveniences while maintaining its historic charm. The restaurants and bakery consistently serve amazing food by an excellent, caring staff.
