Historic setting on a New England town common (green). Two dining rooms with well prepared American fare. While free pastries and coffee are available, it would be great if the inn included an option for breakfast dining.

We stayed in the original wing of this 18th century property, in the historic district of Sturbridge Massachusetts. It’s beautifully maintained and still has the original wide-plank floors. Had a fantastic cocktail and a local craft beer with excellent meals in the restaurant
