Beautiful Inn. Love the old brick front and antiques. The staff was amazing, breakfast was delicious and the rooms were spotless. The molasses cookies at check in were a bonus. Loved our stay here.
Breakfast was a highlight each day. Parking is steps from your door and the staff gives cheerful a whole new take. Recommend Black Walnut Inn very highly 10++
The Inn is charming and in a great location. We stayed in the main house and were very at home. Breakfast in the morning was superb; the housekeeping and cooking were excellent. I definitely will stay again when I am in Amherst.
