My wife and I were staying for the UMass Amherst commencement, what I suspect is a very busy time for all hotels/inns in the area. The location was ideal, less than a mile from campus. Contrary to what I read in other posts, the property has its own parking lot. The room we stayed in, the Carhardt room, was enormous... more

Following a dismal experience at the Amherst Inn, a local resident suggested I move here - what great advice! You need a car as it's in a suburb of Amherst (we're not talking Southern California, tho', you're only a mile or so from the centre of town). Parts of the building date from the 18th century, but have been very... more

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Carhart room and LOVED it. The reviews were accurate. The room itself was charming and neat and ginormous. We kept making mental lists of things we loved about the room to incorporate into future homes of ours- great gas stove/fireplace, heated bathroom, king-sized bed, beautiful wood beams across the ceiling. The Black Walnut... more

Our family of four stayed in the Webster room for two nights at the end of August, the room was clean and decorated with old tinkets which added to the cosy feeling. The main house was beautiful and had a collection of photo's showing all the renovation works leading to this very nice guest house. The beds were probably the... more

We stayed here for three nights dropping our daughter off at college. We were in the Poet's Room, which worked fine for the three of us - the fold-out bed was not wonderful but fairly comfortable. Breakfasts were very pleasant and generous. Our one problem was finding the inn late at night - no lit signs so it is easy... more

Fairly comfortable lodging and good for an overnight stay in Amherst. Within short driving distance of eateries and attractions. Friendly inn owner and delicious traditional breakfast items. Amherst Advice Parking in downtown/main area can be difficult--expect to circle around quite a bit for parking Emily Dickinson Homestead/Evergreens--worth the visit/tour. more

I stopped at the Black Walnut Inn several years ago and was impressed by its beautiful rooms and secure grounds. While planning a 7 week trip to the USA to video documentary interviews, I decided to stay at the Inn for several days at the beginning (May) and end (July) of my cross country production tour. It was conveniently located... more

Just got back from a weekend in Amherst at the Black Walnut Inn. I loved it! The room was charming, the breakfast was incredible, and the owners were lovely. They were waiting for me in the kitchen every morning at 7:00 am......very accommodating to my early schedule. I came home with some delicious, home made marmalade! more

My fiance and I took a cross state B&B trip over the course of 4 days and three nights. The second night our stay was here at the Black Walnut Inn. The previous review is spot on! Our room was absolutely fantastic (The Cahart Room). Please stay in this room if you travel to the Inn. It was not only... more
