My husband and I stayed at The Black Walnut Inn over Mother's Day weekend while visiting family in Massachusetts. We booked early with Marie, since the Inn is so popular, and we didn't want to stay anywhere else. We are repeat guests and are made to feel like extended family whenever we visit. We stayed in the Peterson Room on... More

I travel periodically to the Amherst area for business, and stay every time at the Black Walnut B&B. The staff are very friendly, the rooms are nice, and the breakfast is magnificent -- who can resist their homemade baked goods? Not me. I'll be back. More

Black Walnut Inn has a massive Bed Bug Infestion. When myself & other couples complained at the front desk to Rachael & Marie we were told the exterminator was just there and whatever bugs are probably dead. Stay as far away from this place as possible...we are still scratching & have photographed the bites for a formal complaint to Mass... More

This b&b is one of the very best my husband and I have had the pleasure of patronizing. The proprietor was charming and took the time to make us feel welcome without being intrusive. The home is beautifully appointed, very clean and cozy. And, the house is updated and quiet. The price is reasonable and the breakfast served was wonderful.... More

Based upon TripAdvisor reviews, spent a night while in town visiting a local college with my son. The location is convenient to schools but it's on a noisy intersection. If I slept with the window closed I wouldn't have noticed the street noise, but I prefer fresh air. The breakfast is excellent. Friendly staff. Will go back. More

Last minute trip for the funeral of my beloved Aunt Betty Yaffe. Marie booked the last room available for us and catered to our every need. All of the staff is so welcoming and helpful. We will continue to visit family in Amherst and look forward to future stays at the Black Walnut. More

We had a wonderful stay at the Black Walnut Inn. We chose the Black Walnut Inn because of the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and indeed, the reviews are most accurate. We stayed in the Carhart Room (highly recommended!) - a huge, king suite with a gas stove, and original posts/beams. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable... More

Yes, the other reviews are right: this place is pleasant, it's clean, friendly, detail oriented re: room amenities while not going overboard. Very good place for a solo traveler or a small group. Good breakfast with a number of choices. I strongly recommend this as a true b&b experience compared to my stay at Emily's Place in Amherst...although that place... More
