We had a pet friendly room in the motel. The room was clean the beds and linens clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean but had loose floor tile and the door was really in the way of the toilet and shower. It was a bit of an issue as my husband has mobility issues. The microwave and fridge worked well. The drapes at the sliding door were frayed and worn. The rug has a burn from a hot iron . The chairs at the table were upholstered and had stains on them. Overall we did like our stay here, because the staff was nice, the beds were comfy the food in the tavern ( we did take out twice , we stayed here twice. It was quiet, no noise or slamming doors etc. The grounds are beautiful very nice plants trees woods and grassy areas. The price on the room was pretty affordable for the area. We d stay here again

We loved finding this historic inn and property. The grounds landscaping and flowers were outstanding- as a gardener I was in awe of the size and fullness of all the flowers and shrubs! Our room was clean and lovely in Chamberlain house and situated next door to the historic building g. Great coffee macon e in lobby offered lattes and cappuccinos which were very good. we ate at the Tap Room and food was pretty good- lots of comfort food dishes. Outdoor tables were nice but mosquitos were bad- should have some sort of lanterns or citronella lamps to decrease it. Only critique is the Bake shop. pastries included with coffee /tea to overnight guests from 7-11 but very sparse offerings from 930 on. These should be replenished until 11 as it is an open bakery and they can and do sell anything g remaining. When we asked for more than the two items available, the young woman was not friendly and accomodating and stated the time which was 1030… a full half hour before end of breakfast service. We asked the other woman when she came out of the back and she was reluctant and also not accomodating. not good guest relations to have that experience. It was as if they wanted to put less out so guests would purchase all the other items instead. Not ok. Otherwise a wonderful stay and we will return at Thanksgiving!

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 The motor lodge is a bit outdated and the electrical outlets were not great (and were in odd spots).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.
