My husband and I were looking to get away for a few days and I had always wanted to visit Salem. It was my first time at a B&B and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. It was everything I expected & more from an old Colonial-style home with warm Salem character. Besides the beautiful décor & accommodating... more

My aunt and I travelled together and this was the 1st B&B either of us had stayed at. If you love old homes with a lot of characer, this is your place! The gardens were beautiful and there was even a housecat to keep you company :) Despite the fact that Peg screwed up our reservations, she asked if we... more

I stayed in this charming B+B for a few nights a couple of years ago. It certainly made an impression. On the positive side the building had bags of character, it was nice to stay in accomodation that is old by american standards. The breakfast was nice and while it was interesting to dine with the inn keeper and another... more

As much as I had hoped to love Derby House, I came away feeling that my experience with the B&B was merely adequate.

My husband and I travel quite a bit, mostly by car, and have had lots of experience with hotels, inns and B&Bs of all sizes in all sorts of locales. Henry Derby House is one of our favorites anywhere. The Henry Derby House is... more

My 2 daughters and I just returned home, from five days at the Henry Derby, in Salem. I was very impressed by the authentic, historic style of Peg's two homes, next door to each other. Peg's decor is lovely and the whole experience transcends you to another era in time. The wide-plank, authentic pine floors in the bedroom, where I... more

Wonderful B&B...Very homey and comfortable...Peg is a wonderful hostess and we will definately be booking again with her soon!! If you are looking for a great place to stay..look no further!! more

I knew it was not going to be a good experience from the beginning when there was a note on the front door with a phone number to contact the Inn Keeper so she could have a renter in the same house let us in. We did not see the Inn Keeper until the next morning. This Bed & Breakfast... more
