Breakfast not so good.
Great charm. Well located, especially for visiting Puffton Village, which is literally next door
breakfast was excellent and the host/chef was so friendly and easy to chat with.
college town on a friday night makes for some street noise late at night- but nothing unexpected.
Such a lovely inn! Wonderful room, comfortable bed, amazing breakfast, reasonably priced, great staff! Definitely would stay at this gem again.
The breakfast was fantastic! There were different delicious traditional and seasonal choices each day. The owner and staff were welcoming and attentive. The historic property was lovely, well kept and the rooms were homey.
WiFi was fine, but I was better off roaming during peak times.
Lovely, comfortable, spacious! Delicious Breakfast!
We were last minute travelers and at first were assigned to do a room switch. Upon arrival, we learned that we were upgraded to just one room that was much bigger. We appreciated the kindness. Also, the breakfast was great and the staff was super kind.
Lovely restoration and delicious breakfast. The welcoming feeling was very appreciated and the little muffins (freshly made) were so kind and such a treat!
It was homey, spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and the cook was incredibly kind. The property was relaxing and we’d recommend it to everyone.
Unique inn with very comfortable room/bed/air conditioning. Good location. Breakfast on the porch was very nice!
This is a nice, clean, extremely friendly facility. There is wi-fi (free, a good TV with access to cable premiums, and--upon request--ice with classes delivered to your room. Also, the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast looked good, but we preferred to sleep late.
Short overnight trip to see colleges, and this was great for the three of us. Easy parking, good food across the street, tasty breakfast, super clean and nicely appointed.
The staff were very friendly, the room was comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.
The Inn has a seamless reservation, check in, and breakfast ordering process. I felt extremely at home and loved the cozy and very clean room we had. Best of all, the food at breakfast was fantastic!
Good location in North Amherst. Rooms were comfy, and they provided a very nice breakfast (choice of eggs, pancake, etc. with coffee, tea, juice, pastry, home made bread, etc.)
Good location, very nicely decorated. Charming/homey feel. Great breakfast.
Parking area was muddy hit it is New England in late February.
Before we even arrived (within minutes of our reservation, the owner called for clarification on an item!!When we arrived everything was read for us with not only instructions for our room, but a list of information about the area.
The suggestion I have is that maybe a Kurig for “after hours” coffee. There were home made pastries, tea & hot chocolate, but no coffee!
