I visited Allen House with a group of friends for a recent college graduation. The house is wonderful. It is very historic with appropriate modern touches. Alan and Annie are great hosts. We had the run of the house and they went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. I highly recommend the Allen House if... More

Amazing B&B. Great service, great people, great location and a beautiful place! When we arrived, we were greeted by the extremely friendly innkeeper, who went on to, after serving us home-made cookies with milk, into our room. The room was perfectly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was in fine condition and all of the toiletries one... More

I visited the Allen House again this weekend. I have stayed there and at the Amherst Inn, owned by the same wonderful couple, several times through my time as a student and alum of nearby Amherst College. Both the Allen and House and the Amherst Inn provide a very convenient spot for exploring the town and surrounding areas (you can... More

My husband and I had booked a reservation very last minute and quite late, but felt extremely welcomed when we arrived. We were given a very nice room with beautiful views of Emily Dickinsons family home. The housekeeper was very helpful about giving us local directions and advice on where to get good food late. The room itself was absolutely... More

Our extended family took over the inn for a three-day weekand on the occasion of a birthday celebration, and we were very pleased. We had all six rooms. The decor is authentically Victorian (it's won several notable awards) and is nothing if not fully executed, from the spectacular stuffed peacock over the mantelpiece to the intensely detailed wallpaper in every...

This was one of our first bed and breakfast experiences. We stayed for one night during a brief overnight visit to the area, but we couldn't have asked for anything more for our stay. The house is beautifully preserved and decorated in Victorian style, but has all of the modern amenities you would want, including comfortable beds, pillows, plenty of... More

The Inn is beautiful. The breakfast was unusually good, particularly the sausages. Wish I could find them somewhere. More

We spend a wonderful, very comfortable night at the Allen House so my son could look at colleges in the area. It is very convenient to everything in Amherst, and the hostess could not have been nicer. I would most definitely stay there again. More

Alan, who runs the Inn, was very pleasant and eager to please. The house is dark inside with lots of antiques covering almost every surface. On a few nights, there was noise of kids on the street outside. Breakfast was good. Not great, but good. More

I love traveling but am always grateful to get home to MY bed and MY pillow! I now know that if I'm traveling again to Amherst I can look forward to a bed and pillow just as cozy and comfortable as my own in an absolutely charming setting at the Allen House Victorian Inn. I needed a room at the... More
