What guests think
Reviews of The Black Walnut Inn describe a charming, historic B&B with welcoming hosts and a convenient Amherst location near UMass that feels quiet and accessible for campus visits and local exploring.
Breakfast stands out, with many mentions of cooked to order dishes, homemade breads and pastries, and fresh, flavorful options. Rooms are often spacious and thoughtfully updated, blending vintage character with modern comforts and strong cleanliness. A few guests reported street or campus noise and occasional quirks like bouncy twin mattresses or private baths not en suite. Expect a warm, well-run B&B stay right by Amherst's colleges.

We had a wonderful overnight stay at the Black Walnut Inn. The Inn is just lovely. Everything was so clean and we had everything we needed when we got there. The property is beautiful and the room was so cozy. The best part about it was the breakfast. Homemade bread, fresh baked sweet treats, and fresh eggs from the hens on the property. Next time we are visiting our niece in Amherst we will for sure be staying there.

Only suggestion was to have a 2nd chair in guest room for 2 people, and a box of tissues handy. Lots of other conveniences were nice though. Coffee was super delicious local roasted! Thank you for nice stay.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Black Walnut while visiting our son at UMass. The Inn is so charming and cozy. Gail, Darren and Megan could not have been nicer or friendlier. We stayed in the suite and it was fantastic. Lots of room for us to settle in, having the kitchenette was very handy and the living space was wonderful. The morning breakfasts were delicious too! We'll be visiting a lot over the next few years and can't wait for our next stay! 😊

What a wonderful place to stay as we enjoyed our daughter's graduation at Umass. They go and above and beyond to make it special. We stayed in a suite so we had plenty of space. They didn't miss any details. The breakfast was so special and tasty. I would highly recommend.

The room itself was very nice. But, the room had an emergency exit door that was located right next to the bed area and the street noise from that door was awful. It sounded like we were on the street. Breakfast was delicious and staff were great. Would be a 5 if not for the street noise.

Wonderful B&B! My husband and I took our two daughters (ages 3 and 1) to Magic Wings and wanted to make it a fun overnight trip. The Black Walnut room #7 was excellent, large and clean with 2 double beds (we brought our own Pack n Play). Smart TV, lots of outlets and a bonus couch with a round coffee table (which is something you don't really think about until you have a toddler..) everything you could want. Breakfast was made to order, and my 3 year old LOVED her chocolate chip pancakes. The owner and the chef went out of their way to make us feel welcome with small kids and I'm really appreciate that, we look forward to our next visit!

We were in town for a lacrosse tournament and found this gem on hotels.com. It was a great spot, perfect location, and loved the vibe of a farmhouse turned into an Inn. Hot breakfast made to order was fantastic. Room was spotless and spacious. Bathroom was immaculate as well.

Very well kept and clean room. The bed was a king and very comfortable. A lot of parking on site. Breakfast was delicious.

What a lovely property! Comfy beds, a wonderful couch to curl up on, and the main house is gorgeous. Easy check-in, amazing breakfast, and many little touches that made it incredibly inviting. We loved it. Thank you!

The historic Inn is beautifully maintained and updated and provides a unique experience of staying in a home dating back to the 1600's. Breakfast was delicious and Megan the cook was welcoming and helpful. We always stay at the Black Walnut Inn when in Amherst!
