My mom and I stayed at the Henry Derby House on our historic sites road trip, and couldn't have been happier with our stay. While my mom has stayed at many B&B's this was my first chance to have that experience, and I was so happy to get to stay in a historic home that preserved the charm of the... More

Myself, my daughter & my best friend stayed at The Henry Derby House for 3 nights. Jocelyn was a wonderful hostess. The B&B was clean and the staff made us feel welcomed . Terrific accommodations, bed made daily, air conditioned rooms (we had the yellow room with 2 twin beds and the mauve room with a king size bed). Both... More

Oh my gosh!! My daughter and I stayed here earlier this month while vacationing in Salem. The proprietor, Jocelyn, was absolutely wonderful! She made us feel so welcome and so at home during our stay. The continental breakfast was superb and we were given the choice of almond milk (a non-dairy milk) or dairy milk for our cereal. That was... More

We cannot say enough about our stay at The Henry Derby House. Jocelyn made us feel welcome and gave us great tips about places to dine and local history. The B&B was clean, comfy and strategically located near everywhere you wish to go. Breakfast was plentiful and outstanding. Salem had many unique gems and this place was surely one, Do... More

We spent two nights in April at the Henry Derby House; a lovely, old, historic home in Salem. Our particular room was on the small side (which is not unusual in old homes) but very comfortable. The other rooms were a bit larger. The entire house is clean,inviting and pleasantly decorated. Our hostess and new proprietor, Jocelyn, was as accomodating... More

This is by far one of the best bed and breakfasts I have stayed at. The owner is amazing, she is very in tune with the needs of guests as well as Salem. The breakfast is more of a feast then a continental breakfast, which adds to the warm welcome and hospitality to the house. I'm not sure why you... More

My best friend and I spent a weekend here in February. A very attractive property and an awesome location! It was a nice walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Our room was beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable- great for an afternoon nap after lots of walking! Don't let "continental breakfast" fool you- there is a great... More

My partner and I planned a Halloween/Samhain wedding but got rained out for the outdoor location that we had planned. We were ever so grateful that we were allowed to have our small intimate ceremony/ritual in the parlor of the Henry Derby House. The B&B is such a homey place to stay with home baked goodies and fresh coffee always... More

We had a great time at the Henry Derby House. The town of Salem is pretty small, so everything was within walking distance - great! The staff (or should I say family/owners) are very welcoming and the red room was all we could wish for. Not quite a standard hotel room, but a really quaint bedroom ensuite with a very... More
