If you are interested in staying in a historical surrounding: thats the place to go. It's very authentic, the owner are friendly and helpful hosts. The room was clean and the breakfast was delicious. We were there in April so the temperature was quite low as well in the room. But cozy blankets did the trick to have kept us... More

Being exhausted from our travels, the wonderfully comfy beds to nap in, and quiet atmosphere if the allen house were exactly what we were looking for. The victorian feel of the house seemed legitimate, right down to the lamps. Our room was delightful. The only downside occurred in the morning. There was no breakfast. Or, rather, none at the Allen... More

The 3 best elements of the Allen House are: 1) Warm, welcoming hosts, Alan and Anne, not obtrusive--just right in their approach, 2) Easy walking distance to the center of Amherst, yet not in the busy part of town, 3) Generous and healthy self-serve breakfast between 8 and 10 am (nice not to be forced to eat at a specific...

We follow TripAdvisor on all of our travels and while we read the negative reviews for this location and found nothing in our experience that resembled any of these comments. I seriously wonder if these folks actually stayed at the Allen House. We arrived on the last day of our two week trip. The Allen House/Amherst Inn lodgings were the... More

We arrived in a heavy downpour but were immediately welcomed and felt right at home. While we enjoyed a nice cup of tea, the host, Alan entertained us with fascinating stories of the house. The inn iswalking distance from the Elements Spa where we enjoyed a hot tub and not far from some great restaurants. We were only able to... More

Treated myself to this great B&B in a perfect location in charming Amherst. The Peacock room (AKA the Walter Crane room) was elegant and the ambiance from this family estate restored with attention to detail as a labor of love from the inn keepers Alan and Ann was inspiring. You walk in the front door and step back into time.... More

Stayed for three nights while traveling on business. The house is very clean and comfortable, while still retaining the character of a traditional victorian home. I have stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts in the Northeast. The Allen House rooms and hospitality are on par with the best B&Bs I have visited. The location is outstanding, privately set back from...

After a day spent moving my daughter in on her first day of college, it was a pleasure to relax on the porch adjacent to my room. Comfortable and clean, the Allen House is conveniently located to the center of Amherst and the quite wonderful Emily Dickinson House. After loading the car with bags and bicycle and driving up from... More

Stayed on my way back from Ogunquit, ME....This is a great B&B...Great location, quiet, attention to detail by providing many more amenities than expected....no TV in room but that was actually a plus....and a fantastic full course breakfast included...couldn't be happier.
