Hotel review: Publick House Historic Inn and Country Lodge Sturbridge MA

The Publick House Historic Inn and Country Lodge is located in Sturbridge, MA which is best known for the historic village that is located there. It has been a favorite get-away destination for us for many years. When I was thinking about where to go this year for our wedding anniversary, I decided it was time for us to visit again. Just for your information, the village is open on Sunday but is not open on Monday or Tuesday which was news to me. I had originally planned to spend two nights, Sunday and Monday but with the historic village closed I decided one night would be enough.

You have lots of options when it comes to staying at the Publick. you can stay in the historic part of the inn, you can stay in the least expensive option, the motel type rooms at the Country Lodge, 

you can stay in one of the two buildings off-site, Chamberlain and Tillyer House. We have stayed in the historic inn and at the Country Lodge, this time we opted to stay at the Tillyer House since it is brand spanking new and the spa is also located in the lower level of the building. 

It was a very good choice, the room was spacious and modern though the desk in the Tillyer House was unmanned and required that we go to the front of the historic inn to check in which was inconvenient, to say the least. 

What was really nice was that you get a free cup of coffee or pastry for breakfast at the bakery if you want or you get 10% off meals at the inn. We had dinner and breakfast at the inn and both were excellent. 

The bed was large and very comfortable and we could look out our window and see the bakery and if I had opened the window I am sure I could have smelled it as well. I was very pleased, it was quiet and very comfortable and the WiFi and the TV both worked very well. 

I was very pleased with our stay here and I have to give high ratings to the spa, it is lovely and the price was surprisingly affordable. 

In the Tillyer House, there is a lounge where you can relax and read and enjoy a cup of coffee, tea, or specialty coffee 24/7. This is a very nice touch.
