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.

Gail and team run a fine facility. Room was very clean, well kept, recently renovated but charming. Bed was comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic. The omelet was delicious and the bacon was perfectly cooked. Crispy to perfection.

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!

The historic charm, combined with the updated bathrooms, made this property unique. Homemade baked goods and freshly made to order breakfast makes this a much better option than any area hotel.

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! 😊

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and very comfortable, handicap accessible with convenient free parking. Breakfast was unique in our experience. We registered the night before for breakfast, the time we wanted to eat and chose what we wanted from the menu options. Everything was made fresh from scratch with fresh baked pastries included! Our cook welcomed us and made us feel like we were in our in home eating with family. Overall, I would highly recommend The Black Walnut Inn!
