The owner was so sweet and accommodating to me and my boyfriend (who had to reschedule our reservation at the last minute). The inn is a very well preserved historic house (kind of feels like you're in a Jane Austen novel) with modern conveniences like free wifi and electric space heaters in the rooms, which are spacious and the beds...

My husband I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Amherst Inn over the Christmas holiday. The historic nature of the Inn, fine service and interesting clientele appealed to us both. The room was spacious, warm and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic- not only the fresh fruit cup and fine coffee but wonderfully baked items from the kitchen- ask for the omelet!... More

Gorgeous rooms, decor, colors, wallpaper, lamps, furniture, just lovely! Beds comfortable. Right across the street from Emily Dickinson house. And down the street from a great hot tub spa. Nice hiking in the area. Free parking. We stayed in the turret room which was a bit noisy from street noise but the loveliness made up for that. Small shower but... More

We came for the night and this inn surpassed our expectations. Warm and inviting, we felt immediately comfortable and pleased with our choice. Ann, our innkeeper, was kind and accommodating and happy to help us find a restaurant or something fun to do in town, which was only about a five minute walk away. Our room was beautiful and the...

I stayed at this place for a job interview, and the experience was absolutely wonderful! Alan and Ann, the owners of this place, were very knowledgeable and very friendly! They made me feel like at home and forget about all the interview stresses! The breakfast was amazing, lots of choices. Especially the eggs made by Ann, OMG, sooooo good! You... More

So you see this beautiful old New England Victorian Bed and Breakfast pop up as one of the jewels of Amherst, and you think to yourself, “Wow, I can stay right across the street from the Emily Dickinson homestead in a quaint New England college town. Could it get any better than this?” Uh, yes, it could. A lot. This... More

Spent 2 days in Amherst Ma at the Amhesrt Inn - a lovely B&B in a wonderful location within walking distance of the town center and right across the road from the Emily Dickenson house. The inn is wonderfully decorated and pristine. My room was lovely, clean, and comfortable. The innkeeper - Anne - is charming and a wealth of... More

I loved this inn! It was quirky, welcoming and very comfortable. I was delighted to be in a room with a writing table that was in a diagonal line to Emily Dickinson's room across the street. It was an inspiring place to finally unblock with my writing, and only wish I could go back and stay a much, much longer... More

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this delightful inn. We stayed in Emily's room which was beautifully decorated and a very restful haven for me. After dinner, we both enjoyed relaxing in the room. I really enjoyed the victorian feel of the room. After a wonderful nights rest, we enjoyed the breakfast buffett that was provided. I... More

My daughter and I spent a weekend at the inn so we could visit Amherst and Williamstown. The inn is nicely furnished and our room was spacious with very comfortable beds. We were really happy that we could walk into town and visit some of the local attractions as well as easily drive to the surrounding areas. Ann made a... More
