We stayed less than 24 hours but I could easily spend a few days here without an issue. Fully stocked kitchen with a conventional oven and full size fridge. Basic kitchen ware and utensils. The complimentary breakfast was full of hearty and healthy options. Fantastic job by the staff keeping everything stocked and clean. My only issue was the two bedrooms were supposed to have two queens and one bedroom only had a full. I drew the short straw and got that bed but since sleeping solo, it wasn't a huge issue. BUT- I do think you should get the room with the amenities in your reservation. Staff was helpful, checking in was a breeze and the whole property was pretty spotless. I'd book again.

Parking was plentiful, and rooms were nice. The front desk staff were the most friendly of folks that I have ever encountered, and the breakfast options, which are included, were perfect to get the day started. There is a short trial behind this hotel that I really had hoped to be able to adventure into, but as I traveled in winter, daylight was limited. The only negatives of this hotel were the over hot heater and underhot shower temperatures. Perhaps folks don't have the same need as I do to scald my soul during showers, but alas, my California blood needs to boil to start my day. Overall, I would definitely stay here again!

I actually really enjoyed this little area, there was a great shopping center that was just across the way with lots of options. The rooms were nice and had a little couch seating area and a fridge and microwave which is always nice for a long stay like my fiancé had. I also loved the downstairs area. I went and worked down there on my laptop one of the days in a comfy couch that had its own little tv to watch something too. I'm also a big person about AC in hotel rooms and this one did live up to my normal expectations because I like a cold room. If you are staying in this area definitely a great spot to stay.

The person who complained about the small rooms should take into consideration. This is an old colonial house not a modern open concept restaurant/hotel.

I was thinking that I could give it 1.5 stars, but I'll stick w/one…read more This Inn was in a beautiful location & the food was pretty decent.. That is all I can say on the positive side. The hotel is in dire need of refurbishing & cleaning. The rooms are not only small in square feet, but have 7' ceilings, making the sleeping experience similar to what I think sleeping in a coffin would be like. The hallways in the common areas are disgraceful & ratty--I really cannot use another word to describe the carpeting. Poorly lit & terribly confusing layout. Several of us got lost (twice) trying to find the rooms. The bathroom was miniscule--had no fan & a heavily peeling tub. The A/C unit was old & sounded like a jet engine was passing through the room. Parking lot signage was absurd. An arrow pointing LEFT sent you to a laundry room. There was no way to get to the Front Desk except walking around the entire Inn. Allowing pets should have been my first clue--& a barking dog was right next to my room with paper thin walls. I paid almost $300 for the honor of staying in this 1776 Inn. Go elsewhere.

I feel a little guilty with just 4 stars but the charging stations out front were a constant irritation. In part, I stayed here because of them. Some time they worked; sometimes not. It'd been better if they didn't work at all then I wouldn't have had to waste time. I don't think the hotel owns them, but it is their lot. If they're busted, just put a sign on them. Oh and that old car that was parked in one of the spots for EVs, you might have it moved. It was there for at least a week.

It was a wonderful place for our community to come together, be out of the city, and relax! Mary Helan was SOO very very helpful in for months in advance of the retreat, during the retreat and post retreat. She was wonderful to work with and extremely patient. The facility was beautiful and allowed for a variety of activities, including a huge outdoor field! Overall, it was a wonderful weekend, and we really enjoyed the space.

I recently attended a wedding at the Friendly Crossways and although I had a great weekend with…read morefamily and friends, I think my perspective is different than most of the previous reviewers. As others mentioned there were no other options close by in the Harvard area to stay, so we decided to stay on site (even though I tried to find alternative arrangements). We arrived on Friday and found our room, which had only twin beds (the same for almost all rooms) but were yet to receive our linens (sheets/towels/pillow cases). We did get those later and as another reviewer mentioned they were very worn. You could also not bring in your own pillows or linens (as I had brought) and the party would be fined if they saw you doing so. The bathroom/showers which I saw were pretty outdated and dingy (except the ones near the front door which appear to be newer). They weren't unclean, but were just in desperate need of some TLC. We were also informed of a strict 5 minute shower policy which there are signs posted for in the bathroom. As most have said, it is very much a DIY venue, even so far as to washing your own dishes throughout the weekend. We did help out with a lot throughout the weekend which was fun helping our friends set up their wedding and be a part of it, but many times we would need to ask Mary or Keith (the owners of the property) for assistance or direction with a given task. Most of the time they were very friendly and helpful, but not all the time. I certainly understand they have a job to do, and tasks the Bride/Groom set up for them, and that helping me wasn't on their priority list, but at least be a little bit pleasant because we are paying you to be there. I would have to agree that the food they provided was excellent, and they were able to meet the needs of many dietary issues in our group. If I was reviewing only their food it would be 5 stars, no question. They used fresh ingredients and were very passionate about what came out of the kitchen. The other issue was the firewood. We were lectured that it was to be a "camp fire" and not a "bonfire". We were only provided with about 6 tiny pieces of wood to keep the fire going for our allotted 2 hours...and NO wood was to be put on after 11pm as the fire had to be completely out by midnight... It was nice to be able to just walk back to my room after the wedding/reception. The ceremony was beautiful set back under the trees on the lawn. If you are looking for a DIY wedding where you have to do just about everything for set up and break down then this is probably your place.

My husband and I travel every Dec to the Army Navy game n always like spending a few days after n taking in the local sights, but mostly the history. Given that this location is LITERALLY where the Revolutionary War began, it would have been nice to have a friendlier staff (unmasked) and been told some history of the city AND the home. Every B&B we've ever been to, (10 in the past few years alone) we've been greeted with questions as to where we are from, and been told about the facility, location, etc. I got more at a Hilton earlier in our trip. Embrace your customers. Being met by a masked worker is NOT welcoming. I felt she thought we were putting her out and toxic to her. This was our home for 2 days and we should not feel like that. The inn is beautiful, the food was good n fresh, the bedding was luxurious n comfy. But your customer service has something to be desired for those choosing a more personal n quaint experience.

The house itself is a 300-year-old farmhouse that has been owned by only 5 families throughout its history. Most of the original structure remains today, giving the place an authentic rustic feel -- not kitchy, like so many other bed & breakfasts. The hostess is cheerful and charming, and more than happy to give you a tour of the grounds (including a tunnel in the basement that was part of the underground railroad!). For us, she made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies fresh upon arrival. We stayed in the Carriage House, which really is a bargain for the space. The two-story suite includes a fireplace, kitchenette, television, desk, couch, armchair, and small table with two chairs. This is in addition to an outdoor porch attached to the unit, and the beautiful upstairs bedroom (with air conditioning). Breakfast was delectable, made exactly to our preferences, and served on a screened-in porch overlooking the gardens. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! I'd definitely stay here again, and would absolutely recommend this to any couple looking for a quick getaway from Boston.
