In operation since 1771, amazing service, superb prices in the off season, great amenities on property and nearby. Particularly recommend Annie’s Restaurant for breakfast, 1 mile away? We had two rooms for two nights to visit nearby Old Sturbridge Village - less than 10 minutes away - and were upgraded from Motel rooms to main property rooms. Staff is amazing. Dining room is moderately priced at ~ $22/plate. Desserts were $8 to $10. Highly Recommend!

The front desk staff was able to keep us in the same room for an extra night at the same rate, with no trouble. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again!

The staff was friendly and helpful. They let me know of options for food and beverage which was nice. But the lodge could use some updating. Room was mostly clean but found an old hair tie by a bed and it smelled musty. We were only staying one night and it was inexpensive.

Wonderful, charming historical accommodations, with a very attentive and courteous staff. Although the decor is to period of late 1700s, it’s very clean warm and exudes a sense of old-world hospitality. Very well kept grounds and common areas… cozy bar and delicious bakery options complimentary each morning with your coffee. Very reasonably priced… we will stay again. Also, Katrina was our “bar server” very good. .

We were in the motor lodge rooms. Very nice rooms but the connecting door to the our neighbours was thin with gaps around it, which meant their talking disturbed us late at night. The bad thing was the wifi was very poor, which by today's standards is not acceptable.
