Loved staying at the Chocksett Inn. Convenient location, gorgeous grounds, amazing staff, huge bed, ballroom, restaurant... The 4 stars is the bathroom could use a scented diffuser and the fan was loud. It is close to shopping, hikes... Especially liked their gazebo park & large displays of mums. The back deck overlooks charming a brook & bridge bridge. Thank you for a most pleasant 2 night stay!

Tiana and the staff at the Chocksett Inn made sure that every single detail of our wedding went incredibly and seamlessly smooth. Every late night email or little detail question was always answered promptly and thoroughly. We are so happy we picked this venue for our wedding - the facility is beautiful and clean, and all of the staff is very helpful and professional. The food was unreal and our guests are still talking about it! We highly recommend The Chocksett Inn for any party you want to throw!

Well located, and plentiful parking. The room was spacious. The shower was very adjustable and had a fold away shower seat. The staff was gracious and helpful. Room for improvement : the hotel needed a little spring cleaning. Seems the entire grounds and room need dusting and freshening. Also the restaurant we heard so much about was closed Sun- Wednesday . That was a dissapointment. The grounds are beautiful .

Stayed for 1 night recently with our fur baby while visiting nearby family. Excellent accommodations with a very comfortable king sized bed. Room was quite large and very spacious. The front desk staff were lovely, extremely pleasant and very friendly. Location was very convenient being close to the highway but without the noise. Definitely would stay again.

My Husband and I just got married here! The ball room is beautiful but is neutral so can go with any theme! Tianna is the event coordinator and her and the whole staff of Chocksett were so accommodating!! We had a lot of personalized things and they took care of everything for us and had us drop everything off the week before which was a big stress relief! Between the servers and bartenders, everything ran super smoothly we never saw a long line at the bar and dinner ran seamlessly. The food was just as good as every tasting we went to. Which is a big deal, this food is next level. Also this is one of the few inn that is staffed 24/7. The beds were comfy. I actually slept the night before my wedding. My mom slept on my couch. We didn't bother making it into a pull-out and she said it was super comfy too. I had 5 people getting ready with me plus a makeup artist and a hair stylist and the room was very comfortable. Literally my only complaint is is that the rooms could have a bit more lighting especially in the bridal suite but they do have a getting ready room with better lighting that you can get for a small fee.

Where do I even begin? Firstly, every appointment we had at the venue before the wedding was made stress free by the director and manager of wedding sales-Tianna. The process was so smooth it didn’t feel like we were planning a wedding. She was so kind and helpful in every interaction we had with her either in person or through email! Secondly, the venue itself is gorgeous and with all our decor set out, the tables set out and the flowers-it looked prettier than I could have ever imagined! Thirdly, the STAFF. The staff at the Chocksett in is extremely friendly, and kind. Everything single person we spoke to was personable. The bridal attendant I had for the evening did WAY more than I expected that I felt bad she was running all over the place all evening. She made sure we always had drinks, food, cake. She kept asking me if I was ok, and if I needed anything. I would say, all and all our experience there was perfect. I highly recommend The Chocksett Inn as a wedding venue-and we will definitely be back to eat at the restaurant because on top of everything-the food is DELICIOUS!

We just successfully executed the perfect wedding at Chocksett Inn and I am so grateful to the talented staff for all their hard work. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I knew from touring there that the venue would be charming, easy to navigate, immaculate, and comfortable. I knew from dining there that the food would be delicious and generously portioned. What I did not anticipate was how kind, friendly, capable, courteous, tactful, and truly helpful every interaction with the staff would be. Every guest I spoke with thanked me profusely for inviting them, raved about the facility and the food, and then went on to comment how extraordinary their interactions had been with the staff, all the staff, from wait staff, to front desk, to housekeeping, to bartenders. Even our outside vendors commented on how wonderful the Chocksett staff were. And Tianna, the wedding planner, was gracious and positive as she shepherded us through the whole process from day one. I am also in the service industry, so I know what an authentic, excellent interaction is supposed to feel like and this group anticipated our needs and were always generous and gracious with their service. I am so delighted that we chose Chocksett for my daughter and son-in-law's special day!
