Recently, I had the privilege of experiencing a gem of a bed & breakfast inn in Amherst, Massachusetts, The Allen House, built in 1886 and meticulously maintained through the family generations in vintage style by owners Allan Zieminski and Ann King. Ann and Allan also own and operate the charming and consummately crafted and appointed Amherst B&B, located directly across... more

Allen House Inn was truly a step back in time. A relaxing long weekend respite and time out from today's busy hectic world for me. This colorful Victorian B&B is well maintained and cared for by a staff of friendly, knowledgeable and attentive innkeepers. Alan, one of the older innkeepers, was very helpful in taking care of all my luggage... more

I stayed here for several days and could not have been more satisfied. The room was clean and comfortable, the owners were friendly and generous, and the breakfasts were substantial and home-cooked. more

If you want to travel back in time and be surrounded by a real Victorian setting, (while unobtrusively still having the conveniences of the modern era), this is the place to be. My son and I visited while visiting colleges in the area and enjoyed the B&B’s location, the owners and their family for 3 lovely nights. The way the... more

Well, I just called this inn to see if a room available for 2 adults, 2 kids.We're on our spring break, looking at colleges. On their website, it shows several rooms that could accomodate 4 people. After calling the number over several days, i finally reached the owner. When I asked about a room for 4 people for one night... more

The good story: This is a beautiful old house, modernised just enough to be comfortable, but otherwise pretty much as it would have been 100 years' ago. It's furnished comprehensively in-period, with a careful eye for consistency. The surroundings are wonderful, and it's a very short walk to the centre of Amherst. The less-good story: I just didn't like it.... more

Very, very comfortable. Stayed here two nights ago with my teenage son while on a college search visit to the area. This was our second stay, and it was every bit as nice as the first a few years ago. Nicer maybe because we got to see it when the leaves were out and the hosta lilies lining the walk... more

I recently spent four nights at the Allen House. It's obvious that the innkeepers spent both time and money on this beautiful, old Victorian home. The house itself is in good repair; and the decor, while not my taste, is true to the period. The bathroom and linens appeared to be clean; however the housekeeping ended there. Our room was... more

The house was very nice, but the rooms were a little musty. The room was very well decorated and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was subpar; the pancackes and sausages reminded me of items from those microwavable breakfasts I used to consume as a child (so much so that I am half convinced that's what they were). However, for... more
