The first thing that Peg (the host) said was that we had been "upgraded" because she had given our room away to a family of five. The upgrade was not in the Henry Derby house, which is what we wanted to stay in, but in her own private residence, one house over, something that is not represented on her website.... more

Thank you so much for making me aware of some things that you were not happy about at the Henry Derby House. I truly hope that my guests would let me know when they are staying with me what their concerns are. It is much easier to address issues and hopefully have a happy guest than reading it on the...

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Henry Derby house Memorial weekend and we had a wonderful time. Peg (the owner) was very warm, knowledgeable and accomodating. I had been to Salem quite a few times, mostly for the town lore, but wanted to visit during the off season so my boyfriend could see how pretty and relaxing it is.... more

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 am so glad that there were parts of your stay at the Henry Derby House that you enjoyed. I would just like to let the readers of Henry Derby House reviews aware of a few protocols. 1. When we rent rooms our guests decide if they would like a shared or private bath. This is not information that we...

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

Thank you so much for sending a review. Thank you also for appreciating the character of the bed and breakfast and our expanded continental breakfast. If you, or any future guests would prefer to dine alone, just mention that you would like to dine alone and we will surely accomodate. There is also very good news for our future guests....

As much as I had hoped to love Derby House, I came away feeling that my experience with the B&B was merely adequate. For those of you who don't want to read a detailed review, here's a quick overview. Positives: Location, willingness of Peg (owner) to give advice, clean sheets, private bathrooms for some rooms, willingness of Peg to accept... more

My husband and I loved this B& B. Peg and her staff are warm, friendly, and very gracious. Peg is an incredible hostess. Thank you for everything! The B& B is quaint and absolutely charming. The feel of the place was amazing. We were able to relax, enjoy the local attractions and marvel at the gardens in Salem. If we... more

This is our second visit to the Henry Derby House, but it won't be our last. 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
