Perfect place for our little family of 3. Great location near WPI. Surprised the pool was closed, but I suppose May was too early. Thank you!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for taking the time to leave this lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that our place was a perfect fit for your little family of 3 and that the location near WPI worked out so well for you. I’m sorry about the pool timing — you’re right that May is still a bit early for us here in Massachusetts. We typically open the pool in late May/early June once the weather consistently warms up, so it unfortunately missed your visit by just a little. We’ll make sure to note the seasonal schedule more clearly for future guests. We really enjoyed hosting you and would love to welcome your family back anytime! If you ever find yourselves in the area again, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We love this little cottage. It's well-equipped, comfortable, great natural light and plenty of lamps and adjustable overheads. The cottage is offset from the street, so street noise is minimized. It was perfect for the three of us.

Wonderful, cozy and comfortable cottage nestled away in a leafy neighborhood. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by my kids and grandkids in a small family gathering. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. My granddaughter and i walked over to the playground at Elm park. I will definitely stay here again!

A Beautiful and Lovely Place

We were both happy about the location and home accessories. We were close to Elm Park a place t o walk and picnic. It was very comfortable home to stay. We would return. As a homeowner, I suggest you tightened the the toilet bolts in the laundry room.

Ready to Run

Great stay for me, my wife and our diabetic doggie — more than enough room for him to spread out, and he loved the French doors and nearby park! Being in town to run the Boston Marathon, the space and full kitchen were great for relaxing and preparing multiple meals ahead of the run. We didn't have as much time to explore Worcester because of the race, but this location worked great for getting groceries and takeout while we were there; if it worked for a Boston/Hopkinton focused trip, I'm sure it will be even better for a Worcester focused trip!

A wonderful private stay in a beautiful neighborhood!

I was overwhelmed with the space and amenities of Crompton Carriage House. I was pleasantly reached out to by the host, asking if I was comfortable and if I needed anything. The walk to and from work downtown in Worcester was safe and pleasant. The Crompton Carriage House is located in such a wonderful neighborhood! And it's a great price to boot! I will be back, again and again!

This is such a unique home in a quiet neighborhood. It was close enough that we were able to walk to the DCU center each day (25min) and there are plenty of good restaurants in the area as well. There was some work being done on the property while we were there which did result in some lost sleep, but I don't expect that to be the norm. The home was very adequately stocked with plenty of towels, blankets, kitchen items etc and overall it was a very cozy stay. The pool and hot tub are a nice touch if you'd like to take advantage, but since this is shared with the main house there are likely to be other people in the vicinity if you spend any time outside. Overall this was a great stay and we would definitely return in the future.

Thank you, Adam, for your thoughtful review and for choosing to stay at the Carriage House. I’m truly sorry for any inconvenience caused by the contractor noise during your visit. We strive to schedule any work on our historic property during times that minimize disruption for our guests, and I regret that we fell short in this instance.The noise you experienced was part of an exciting renovation project to create a beautiful two-bedroom, two-bath apartment in our main house, which will be available for bookings in just a few months. We’d love for you to return and experience it firsthand—its charm and comfort will make for a wonderful stay.Thank you again for your feedback and for being our guest. We hope to welcome you back soon for a quieter, even more enjoyable visit!

Comfortable and Charming

Loved this charming carriage house in a very nice and convenient-to-everything neighborhood. From the 2bedrm, 2bath layout, to the wonderfully soft and comfortable beds and linens and the delicious macchiato coffee pods, our stay was perfect. The April weather was unusually warm and sunny so we were hoping to enjoy the pool too, but it hadn’t been cleaned and treated for such, unfortunately. Maybe next time!
