Publick house is an historic inn with a newer addition and a 1960's era motor lodge on its grounds. Since we were visiting the Brimfield Antiques market we only needed to stay in the motor lodge . It was extremely comfortable with nice linens and beds . We asked for maid service one day and it was done spotlessly. The food in the restaurant is quite good and they give free coffee and pastries in the Bake shop every morning. There's a refreshing pool as well

Cute place to stay and really enjoy to walk around, the bake good for breakfast, and the staff were lovely. The room was ok but can get a better clean, my soon allergy was terrible with all the dust that I had to take him to urgent care. Maybe get some clean in the back of the bed and carpet will help.

The lodge building I stayed at is old, but I felt very comfortable and safe there. The room was mostly clean but I saw o piece of hair on the soap holder in the shower and the toilet had been peed in and not flushed! Other than that it was fine, worth the price! It was quite reasonable plus they give you a discount at the restaurant.
