The property and grounds were well maintained and flowers/plants were gorgeous! We ate dinner at the pub which was delicious and our server was fantastic (Gregg). Pastries from the bakery were delicious as well. The motor lodge is a bit outdated and the electrical outlets were not great (and were in odd spots). It would be nice to update electrical for phone charging, etc. Beds were comfortable. We were surprised by how many dogs were around the property (some not on a leash). Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

We had a wonderful time at the property. The room was very comfortable, and we really enjoyed the complimentary coffee, tea and pastries. The property is very clean, and every employee was very nice and courteous. We took advantage of the workout facility which was a few cardio machines (treadmill, bike, elliptical and row machine) along with dumbbells and a bench. The landscaping at the Inn was really beautiful. We will definitely come back again.

Very comfortable room for me and my two dogs, and there was no hysteria about their size or breed, just a reasonable charge. Property is conveniently located close to the route I was driving from Maine to Philadelphia. Staff was helpful, grounds and surroundings beautiful for walking the pups and getting a little dose of history. Only had coffee and danish from the bake shop, which was excellent, but I ate meals off site.

Arriving with no vehicle

Due to issues at Boston Logan Airport, we unexpectedly arrived at Publick House Historic Inn without a rental car. This beautiful hotel is spread over a large area and the room we were intended to occupy was some driving distance from the main reception. With no car, we were unable to take the room set aside for us, but were immediately upgraded to a room just steps away and could not have been more grateful to the friendly and welcoming staff.

Really nice on so many levels but…

The Inn is a historic, well preserved & interesting complex on a beautiful piece of land in town. I was looking forward to enjoying the green space and not being in a chain. For the most part it was a good choice. What colored my experience was the room I got stuck in. It was in the original building and thus older, a bit challenging to negotiate (narrow stairs, uneven floors, etc. Those things are not obstacles but worth noting. However, coupled with my room being somewhat small & with windows that overlooked the roof on both sides where there were windows was really disappointing. I couldn’t se anything but the roof. I walked around the property & went in to the large Inn adjacent & felt cheated. It was beautiful, airy and light. Many comfortable sitting areas. They should save my room for when they are full & need the space. I felt that because I was alone I got the short straw.

This place is a gem. It’s an entire lovely “campus” that is a joy to walk around and find a place to sit. The coffee and sweet cakes in the morning are unbelievable and just in a much different category from comparable lodging. Will stay again.

Beautiful grounds and buildings. Room was very nice, but since the room can sleep 4 people an extra upolstered chair would have been nice. We had dinner in the Taproom. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Would certainly stay there again.
