My boyfriend and I stopped here on our flying visit to Boston on our USA tour last year. This was our second stop after New York. The B&B is in the suburbs of Boston, a single T train away, and a reasonable walk from the station - approx 10 mins. The house was a real treasure, Heidi too - we... more

Stayed in Carruth House for a couple of nights but could have easily stayed for longer. Only 15 minutes on the subway from all the main attractions but set in leafy suburbs. This old historic house is a great place to relax (which we did a lot of) with a fantastic hostess (Heidi). Heidi was very laid back and welcoming... more

My wife and I had a lovely time here. Heidi was extremely helpful, hospitable and provided a breakfast that was hard to beat! Not to mention free internet access and phone calls within the US. It was a real home from home, with an incredibly comfortable bed and a nice selection of DVDs! Superb value for money all round :) more

Heidi, who owns and runs the B&B, loves good things: that's why breakfast is so good; and that's why the service is so personal; and that's why the atmosphere in the house is so relaxed. Mind you, not everything is completely perfect, but if you if you can cope with a small lack of efficiency, compensated by personal attention, then... more

If you want to stay in a stark, sterile, chain hotel then this is not the place for you. Carruth House is a home. It is close to the T station in a beautiful old quiet neighborhood. The house itself was built in 1877. Heidi and her son Marty were excellent hosts. We had dinner the first night at the... more

Carruth House is a wonderful place to stay when you are visiting Boston and need a comfortable and budget priced home away from home. We arrived on a surprisingly warm day and Heidi showed us around her sumptious New England home before taking us to our room on the third floor. The double room was sparkly clean with a large... more

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
