The Groton Inn was originally constructed in 1678. The Inn was once a meeting place for St. Paul's Masonic Lodge, which Paul Revere served as the Grand Master of. The property was purchased in 1967 by local townspeople, who gave new life to the space. In 2011, the original building was destroyed by a fire, after which it was reinvented into the boutique hotel that it is now.

Our dream wedding

Had my wedding here the last weekend and I don't even know where to begin. Our wedding was perfect - the food was perfect, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the staff were amazing. The real magic though, is the people. From the EXCEPTIONAL people working at the Groton Inn, to the stunning location, all the way down to something as simple as heated floors in the bathroom. Our wedding and stay all over was magical. The real magic though, is the people. Every single staff member at the Groton Inn deserves a world of praise.

Eleanor Keydel, coordinated my wedding and was absolutely exceptional. She is the kindest human I have ever met and made our dream day a reality. So many people that attended my wedding asked me who she was because they could see her dedication, passion, and talent. She took on every detail so that I could just enjoy the day without any stress. She truly made our wedding what it was, I am so grateful.

I cannot say enough good things about the Groton Inn. This place has been so special to us for so long but having our wedding here was the greatest decision we made.

Highly recommend!

We used the Groton Inn for our bridal getting ready space (the Arbor Room in the Forge and Vine restaurant) and as one option for our hotel block (due to limited room availability because of a World Cup game on our wedding weekend) and highly recommend it. Customer service from our first contact to post-wedding check-ins was top-notch and highly responsive, from the booking/events team to front desk staff to servers. For the getting ready space, our hair and makeup team loved the light and layout of the Arbor Room. Our wedding party loved the privacy and the view. For accommodations, all of our guests were comfortable in their rooms and the self-serve grab-and-go or sit-and-enjoy breakfast options let our guests refuel after a late night in whichever way was right for them. We highly recommend and look forward to returning in the future!

June 2026 Wedding

The Groton Inn provides truly exemplary customer service. We reserved a room block for my son's wedding, hosted the rehearsal dinner there, and held the wedding after-party at the Inn. The food was fantastic, and every staff member was outstanding. I cannot praise this establishment highly enough.

Thank you for helping make our son and daughter-in-law's wedding weekend so extraordinary.

A wonderful stay.

We stayed at The Groton Inn for our room block in May 2025 as our wedding was at The Barn at Gibbet Hill down the road. It is a beautiful inn with wonderful accommodations. Their sales staff made the process of obtaining a room block stress free. They provided great communication during the planning process. We also hosted a welcome party in their Kings Retreat room. The apps and drinks served were delicious. Guests could enjoy the evening in the lovely courtyard as well. Highly recommend!

A Dream Wedding

The Groton Inn was a dream wedding venue, and Eleanor was the heart and soul of the experience. She guided us through every step of the planning process with such professionalism and warmth—it honestly felt like working with a close friend who also happens to be a total pro. On our wedding day, we were able to be fully present and just enjoy the moment because everything was handled—from setup to breakdown. We never felt like just another couple on the calendar; every detail was personal and intentional. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and seamless the day was. We can't thank Eleanor and the team at The Groton Inn enough for making our day unforgettable.

Beautiful MA Wedding Venue!

We've worked with Eleanor and the events team at Groton Inn on several weddings for our mutual clients and we are always so happy to be there!

Every moment of the event is highly-organized and well-executed. There are several locations to hold your ceremony, cocktail hour in the courtyard is lovely, and the Prescott Room is a perfectly cozy space for events of 60-80 guests.

The staff is courteous and professional, the food is excellent, and the space has been well-designed for these kinds of affairs.

As live wedding entertainers, we've been to many wedding venues, and Groton Inn is one of our favorites. We can't wait to be back!

We Love the Groton Inn!

We have nothing but rave reviews of our amazing wedding weekend at the beautiful and historic Groton Inn! We cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone considering the Inn for their special event. With its rural/suburban setting close to Boston and Manchester NH airports, the Groton Inn’s charming Main Street location was ideal for ourselves, our families, and out of town guests who needed overnight accommodations. The rooms were all spacious, immaculately clean and very well appointed, and guests took full advantage of various amenities like the gym, lounge areas and hallway beverage stations. The delicious daily breakfast and the bridal suite options added to the ease of us preparing for our day wedding which was held right around the corner at The Barn at Gibbett Hill. Everyone also appreciated the convenience of being able to walk to nearby hair salons, eateries, and other local businesses, and we loved spending time on the spacious porch and the courtyard visiting with our guests.

More specifically, we felt from our first meeting that we were in such good hands with Eleanor Keydel, Sales and Events Manager. She was so informative, efficient, well organized and thorough throughout the months’ long lead-up to our end of September wedding, and offered us much needed guidance and reassurance as we planned the table arrangement, decor and menus for both our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party which were held in the Inn’s beautiful Keep’s Conservatory. Eleanor was consistently quick to respond to emailed questions and phone messages, and made it so easy scheduling face to face meetings with her despite her busy schedule and our out of town location. The warm decor and intimate feel in the Keep’s Conservatory provided the perfect backdrop for our wonderful rehearsal dinner followed by our Welcome Party. The fireplace and mantel where we displayed family photos added to the personalized feel and ambience. We have to give a special thanks to bartender extraordinaire, Kerrie, whose good humor and helpfulness went far to ensure our guests felt at ease throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, prepared just as requested and beautifully presented, and though we are sorry we cannot identify them by name, there were a host of other event staff and servers present who all went out of their way so we felt special and celebrated all night long.

The Groton Inn is uniquely wonderful, and we cannot imagine a more perfect setting for what truly was the wedding weekend of our dreams.

Intimate baptism reception for 35 guests

The Groton Inn hosted our son's baptism reception on a February Saturday afternoon. From the planning process to the actual event, the staff (especially Elenor & Christine) were all incredibly professional, accommodating, and kind. Our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere. The front room was the perfect venue for us- accommodated 35 guests but still cozy and inviting. A huge plus for us is that they included music, candles & seasonal centerpieces. It was incredibly reasonably priced, and they offered some deductions & adjustments based off of our menu requests. Thank you Groton Inn!
