"A Perfect Wedding Venue."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
We spent the weekend celebrating my cousin’s wedding. The staff, the inn, the rooms, the ballroom… everything was gorgeous.

"A few hiccups."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Directions from checking in, to the Chamberlain House, were very confusing and difficult for me, especially since I have mobility issues. I was sent downstairs (no elevator)and them up an incline when I could have easily gone out front door and right next door. Ran into Luis (staff member) who was helpful with helping us find our room. Also, for such a large place, it is unusual not to have an area large enough for 6 people to gather to have their coffee and pastry. We eventually found a spot to gather upstairs (again, no elevator and difficulty managing stairs while carrying coffee and pastry). Dinner in Tap Room was excellent.

"Resort style inn with a country feel."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Beautiful location and grounds, everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Rooms in the back could use a little TLC and mini fridges but they are nice and comfortable.

"Camp Robinson Crusoe Memories"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
For those of us who spent years at Camp Robinson Crusoe in Sturbridge, any and all times spent at the Publick House, whether at the Inn or the Lodge, qualify as a memorable success. This time was no different. The kindness and hospitality of staff remain a constant and ensure that I'll return every time I'm visiting in the neighborhood or even when as far away as Tanglewood.
