The property was historically beautiful and very unique and interesting. Rooms were very comfortable and provided all that you need. A couple of simple things - we are coke drinkers but that was not an option and the full breakfast was delicious but minimal and options not explained. Overall a great stay and will stay again!

Thank you for our review, David! We always appreciate feedback from our guests. Our apologies for a "minimal" breakfast - we always serve a fruit cup, and hot item with a meat. There are also the continental options of a variety of cereals and instant oatmeal, which are kept in the Butler's Pantry (connected to the Dining room & very visible from the table) for self-serve breakfast items. As for beverages, we only serve coffee, tea, and juice for breakfast. Anything else you would need to purchase yourself somewhere and bring with you to breakfast.We're very happy to hear that you will stay with us again at some point in the future, and look forward to seeing you! Sincerely,Deri Hearn

Historical gem of a B & B
Very old historic mansion with a lot of character and charm. This place isn't pristine, but if you like beautiful architecture and history, you can overlook some of the flaws. Staff is very friendly and accomodating, and location is convenient to Patriots Place, while feeling like you are in a very rural location.

Hi Dan, Thank you for your review! We enjoyed having you with us, and hope to see you (& your wife) again int he future. The house was scheduled to be painted weeks before your arrival, however, due to the 10 weeks of rain we had in this area, and then our handyman leaving for vacation, that could not be started when you were here. I'm very happy to report that it has now begun. Restoration is a continuous effort here, and we steadily get to each item in need. Have a great week! Sincerely, Deri Hearn

Pros: Unique historic home, lovely sitting areas in nooks around the house, beautifully furnished rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful, breakfast was simple but delicious. Bed was very comfortable. Cons: Rooms can't be locked unless you are inside, door from our room to the next room had a sliding lock on the other side but not on our side -- luckily no one was in that room.

Hi! Thank you for your review! We appreciate all feedback from our guests. All of our guestrooms can be locked form the outside with a master key. Occasionally a guest wants us to lock their door when they leave, and we are happy to do so. The door between your room and the next is also locked with a master key. It was locked during your stay. The ONLY time it's unlocked is when guests are renting both rooms and request that we unlock it. So you're always safe from intrusion. :-) Thanks for staying with us, and for your review!

Proctor Manor Inn - A step back in time...
We stayed at Proctor Mansion Inn overnight after a family wedding nearby. The staff was warm, welcoming and very informative. We actually had the house to ourselves being the only guests that night! The Inn was neglected by a former owner and renovations are lovingly and carefully being done by current owner. Despite the needed restorations, the property is being preserved as it is one of 7 remaining buildings of its kind in the US. If you have the opportunity to visit, I recommend doing so. We enjoyed our brief stay and appreciated learning about the house and meeting the caretakers who are all very invested in the property.

Quaint Inn near Gillette Stadium
We found this gem of an inn while looking for a place to stay near Gillette Stadium for a NE Patriots game. We paid hundreds of dollars less to stay at the Proctor than we would have paid at Patriots Place. The Renaissance Hotel there charges about $500 a night when the Patriots are playing!! The Proctor Manor In is only about 4 miles from Gillette Stadium. We were able to Uber round trip from the Inn to Gillette pretty easily. Much easier - and less stressful than dealing w/the expense, time and traffic you face in driving your car to a Pats’ game! Beyond the sheer convenience of getting to and from the game, the Inn itself is awesome. It’s a beautiful, (mostly) restores historic home. The room we had was beautiful. We were on the 3rd (top) floor, but had it all to ourselves. Very quaint and private. Breakfast was very good both mornings we were there. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would highly recommend this Inn!!

Historic mansion being restored to its original 1860's grandeur. Many of the antiques are original to the home. Still has the original red window that signaled its participation in the underground railroad. Comfortable rooms with renovated bathrooms, pleasant & efficient staff, delicious breakfast, located in a quaint New England town. The mansion hosts a wide variety of events, teas, etc. It was also featured in a Lifetime Christmas movie!

stay the night
The staff was friendly. The Inn could be beautiful but it needs a lot of work. The outside grounds are not well taken care of. The room we had was spacious, bed was comfortable but I didn't have hot water for my shower in the morning and when I pulled the string to turn out the ceiling light the glass shade fell off and almost hit me in the head. The full breakfast was two small pancakes with fake syrup and 2 small brown and serve sausage. They need to up there game for the price or charge a little less. Like I said it could be beautiful but it needs to be worked on.

Dear Anne, We're sorry your stay was less than excellent. We strive for that mark. Our apologies for a breakfast that wasn't our true signature "hearty New England breakfast". We normally serve more food than that, and always use the best syrup available. As for the house itself, the owner is lovingly restoring it as fast as he can. Given the craftsmanship & quality of the original work & materials, that is never a quick job. Please bear with us. We have done many things since your visit. Come see us again & check it out for yourself. :-) We'd love to have you stay with us again!

Very old historic property. Amazing service. Exceptionally comfortable bed and very well appointed bath. Lovely surroundings in a small New England town close to highways and easy to get to.

Proctor Mansion is Awesome Place to Stay
The B&B was built around 1862 and has been restored beautifully. The ambience is great and the rooms are comfortable and beautiful. There is an electric tea kettle, tea and china tea cups in every room, so this is extra special if you love tea. The breakfast room also has a cupbard filled with more tea pots and cups. This B&B is a real gem.

Classic Victorian Inn
The Proctor House is a historic 2nd Empire Victorian mansion that has been lovingly and painstakingly restored. The rooms are large and excellently decorated in period pieces. The bathrooms are updated and clean. The common areas transport one to the Victorian age. Breakfast is provided and excellent. The staff is friendly, efficient and extremely helpful. This is a wonderful oasis in this day and age of frenetic, high volume, high energy public places and hotels. We would recommend it highly!

Charming, Comfortable and Friendly
We spent one night at the Proctor Mansion Inn when attending a concert at nearby Gillette stadium. The property is very charming, with most of the original detail preserved. We stayed in the "yellow" room pictured here which was large, with a real king size bed, and beautiful details. Each room has its own window AC. Only thing is that I wish they had blackout curtains but they only had shutters on the windows, at least in our room. The staff was very friendly. We did not have breakfast but it is included - things like coffee, juices etc.. are always available. Parking is plentiful.

As an adult the age of 35, I'm highly aware of the check in and check out time. The place was very clean and nice, but we were in town for a show. We asked if they had a taxi service they used, we were rudely told to use uber. Then were awaken at 10:10 am just to let us know check out was at 11. We specifically said we wanted to sleep in when we arrived. If you're not over 60 and don't drive a Mercedes I don't recommend staying here. Snobs

Lovely alternative to a chain hotel
We had a wedding in the area and chose to stay at a B and B rather than at a chain hotel. The proctor mansion was lovely, spotlessly clean, historic and attentive to us as visitors. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our room, the historic touches of the inn, and the attention from the staff. We felt coddled.

Charming & Historic Proctor House
We enjoyed our stay, which was in celebration of our 39th wedding anniversary. The house was very interesting in terms of history and design. Charmingly restored common rooms, old pictures and bric-a-brac made for a good atmosphere. Cookies and ice water in the hall for the guests, along with tea and chocolates in each room, provided nice touches, and the staff was very helpful and welcoming. Location was excellent (we live nearby) and it is close to Gilette Stadium and to the Wrentham Outlet Stores. We discovered upon arrival that the property is still somewhat of a work-in-progress, with an outdoor garden area under construction, and much of the house's exterior is disrepair. While the structure itself appears to be sound, decaying exterior wood beams and peeling paint, for example, detracted from the property's appearance. Improvements in the rooms themselves were quite adequate, however, although we noticed some untended water damage on our room's ceiling. The breakfast was okay but not outstanding by B&B standards in our experience. The coffee was not particularly good (teas were better), and the main breakfast event, quiche with bacon, was okay but uninspired (bacon was overcooked--was it turkey bacon?). Overall, the positives outweigh the negatives, although picky B&B aficionados may have some quibbles. Further investments in renovations will address most of the problems; breakfast could use some more flair!

Pretty B&B close to concert venue
Proctor Mansion Inn is a lovely historic mansion. The room was very comfortable and the staff was very nice. I have one issue though, that's hard to get past, despite the management's best efforts to rectify the situation: the room we booked through Expedia and paid for was actually NOT available. We had tickets for a concert that evening and there was nothing available left in a 20 mile radius, so we were stuck with accepting a different room. Switching a king bed for a queen is no big deal, but I would NEVER have knowingly booked a room without a private bath. Half of our rate was generously refunded, but the half bath we had use of instead, wasn't even on the same floor as our room and adjacent to a common area. So when I needed to use it in the wee hours (no pun intended), I had to first get semi-dressed in the dark and navigate a tall staircase in unfamiliar surroundings. The staff did, however, make a full bath available to us in the late morning, after another guest checked-out, so we could shower. I do appreciate the efforts made by Proctor Mansion Inn, but urge them to so something to improve the online booking process in order to avoid this in the future.

Beautiful atmosphere
Just a beautiful old home with a lot of the original details. Very comfortable bed and SO nice to not feel -or smell-like a hotel. It made the trip so much more fun and relaxing. How nice to find fresh baked cookies outside of the room every day too! And the staff - Stephen, Adam and Tina-could not have been nicer. I would definitely recommend and look forward to another stay
