Carruth House is owner Heidi's home, it reflects Heidi's taste, style and warm personality. The house is beautiful and although, as Heidi says, it is a "work in progress", the rooms we had access to were clean, comfortable and charming. The wood-pannelled games room is absolutely stunning and the upstairs sitting area with the window seat has lovely views and... more

We enjoyed our stay at Carruth House. As Heidi, the host, has said, it is a work in progress, but if you're simply looking for a place to stay and explore Boston, you'll struggle to find a better value alternative elsewhere. In short, if you have 5* expectations, you will be disappointed, but if you're looking for a good value... more

I loved Carruth House. The bedrooms were very comfortable and it was just like staying at a friend's house. Heidi is so welcoming and you can have a good chat with her and she gives great advice about the must-sees in the city. She makes an exceptional breakfast too. There is a metro station nearby which takes you into Boston,... more

Carruth House was absolutely lovely. Heidi has thought of everything, and the place is full of nice, thoughtful touches. The house itself is gorgeous, and if you don't mind a bit of renovation going on here and there - only the bathrooms, when we were there - I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It does take about 20 mins to... more

The Carruth House was a wonderful choice for us while we visited Boston. The house was being renovated but we still felt very comfortable, and cozy there. The living room with TV and pool table provided a great place to relax and the balcony a great place to enjoy breakfast. The historic significance of the house made our stay even... more

We had a great stay at Carruth House and Heidi was a wonderful hostess, supplying us with everything we needed, including umbrellas when the rain came! We enjoyed the buffet type breakfasts with the fresh baked goods and large fruit salad every morning and it was nice to get up and eat at our convenience. It was also a plus... more
