A great old historic B&B in a beautiful neighborhood with an extremely helpful staff who even made breakfast to order for me. I enjoyed it and the area so much that I stayed an extra night.

The way B&B's used to be with innkeepers who liked to interact with the vacationers; with a home cooked breakfast(s) that was near perfect (not boiled eggs and cold cereal); and with accommodations that were clean and comfortable. we will be back!

A previous gem of a place! We just happened upon this place and they had 1 room left. It was absolutely delightful! Cozy, historic, clean as a whistle, and with all the amenities you expect. The breakfast was cooked fresh, chickens right outside! And it was excellent. Everyone was friendly, and all went out of their way to make our stay seamless, welcoming and comfortable. Definitely recommend a stay here!

I’d definitely add that—it makes the review feel more personal: This was our second stay at the Black Walnut Inn, and once again, we had an amazing experience! This time we stayed in one of the suites, and it was absolutely amazing—beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable, and full of charm. The entire property has such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was wonderful as well. There’s a reason we decided to come back for a second stay, and after this visit, we’ll definitely be back again. We highly recommend the Black Walnut Inn for anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway in the Amherst area!
