The Herbert Carruth House, built in 1877, is one of the landmark historic properties in the Ashmont section of Dorchester in Boston and overlooks one of the loveliest residential streets in the City. We are an affordable and relaxed private home guesthouse alternative to expensive and impersonal downtown accommodations. Come for a visit! We hope you enjoy Carruth House as much as we do. more » « less

This is the best place I have found via Trip Advisor. Mix great price, wonderful breakfast, interesting massive house, a warm host, and you have the perfect place to stay. There is plenty of room inside and out to find some quiet spaces to decompress from the stresses of city touring, and Heidi is full of information on Boston. She... more

We stayed at Carruth House over Easter 2008 and it just blew us away! Such a lovely New England house with its great host Heidi. Our room was truly beautifully decorated with what you'd imagine a New England house would look like. It's situated 10mins walk from Ashmont train station and it takes roughly 30mins to Boston town centre. The... more

We stayed at the B&B for 2 night and were sad to have to go so soon. The Carruth house is a wonderfull house were you feel home at once. Heidi from the Carruth house is a very nice person who will give you all the information you need about Boston. The rooms are cosy and you have different areas... more

I was with a group of three teachers from New Zealand and stayed with Heidi for four nights while visiting schools in Boston. Carruth House is magnificent and made a wholesome change from the hotels that we had stayed in. Heidi is a lovely hostess, we enjoyed chatting with her about all number of topics and her advice as to... more

My husband and I stayed four nights at Carruth House and enjoyed the atmosphere of this typical New England House with its nice veranda and beautifully furnished rooms. We stayed in the comfortable Ashmont Suite with a perfectly clean private bathroom. The house is undergoing renovation at the moment but we felt in no way disturbed thereby. Heidi, the host,... more

We spent a lot of time searching various websites to find value for money accommodation in Boston and discovered this gem near Ashmont. The time was well spent because we found this property to be quite unique. Heidi will be first to admit that this B&B is not the tidiest of properties,but this is where it gets its charm The... more

Stayed at Carruth House for 3 wonderful nights as my husband was running in the Boston Marathon. We arrived early on the first morning to be greeted by Heidi, who owns Carruth House, and whisked away immediately for one of her great breakfasts. Her hospitality was second to none, and she was good fun to sit and have a chat... more

Carruth House was ideal for what I needed; a quiet, affordable home-from-home to hang my hat while I prepared for & ran the Boston Marathon. As owner Heidi freely admits, the house is a work in progress -- but it offers just about everything you might require at a B&B... including solid, comfortable beds, powerful, hot showers & internet/cable TV... more

My friends and I stayed at Carruth House for 3 days in March and it really made our short trip to Boston perfect! We loved the cozy rooms, the absolutely inviting, warm atmostphere and - above all - the delicious breakfast in the morning :D And yes, Carruth House is not directly located in downtown Boston but it is only... more

I staid in the Carruth House for four nights in April and had a great time there. This privately-owned bed and breakfast is conveniently located on the red line of the T (Metro) just a short walk from Ashmont station. On arrival, Heidi will give you a tour of the house and anything else you need - from city maps... more
