Natchez, Mississippi is known as the "Bed and Breakfast Capital of the South," and it's easy to see how Natchez got that title with places like this! After purchasing the 1835 antebellum abode in 2004, Donald McGlynn and Douglas Mauro devoted 2 years to restoring it and it shows. They offer the best gourmet breakfast I have ever had and guests are also treated to homemade mint juleps and chocolate chip cookies upon arrival, a tour of Oak Hill, and access to the gorgeous grounds. People from all over the world stay here (Australians and Italians while we were there). Absolutely cannot wait to go back!

We left sooner than planned and will not book there again. Breakfast was edible, mediocre at best, but not as wonderful as advertised. Restaurant staff is extremely unfriendly and bothered by any need the customer may have No dinner in restaurant as restaurant was closed and nothing like the pictures advertised Main areas in hotel, carpet old and dirty They also advertise being in the centre of the city but it is quite a few blocks to walk into the center of Natchez. Patio from room is shared and does NOT overlook the city. Needless to say we won't be back at this B&B

Anything we could think to ask about, the staff was uber friendly to help. This was my first bed & breakfast experience and I didn't want to leave.

I was afraid of it being too "antique" for me, but it was very nostalgic and gave comfort of an upscale vintage mansion that I was looking for. Highly recommend. Also, visit the other mansions while you're there and take in the artwork and pay attention to the history. You'll love it!

Both are kind, friendly, and approachable. When I arrived several hours later than I said, Elizabeth graciously came on-site quickly and welcomed me with such genuine warmth and joy, I felt like I'd "come home!" Her father had just returned from Baton Rouge. And, although they were preparing their own dinner plans, both took time to make sure I had everything I needed, that I was comfortable, and that I understood that their only rule for me was to consider The Beaumont House as "my home!" I do, and it's so easy to do so. It is beautifully appointed, without being pretentious. And, the bed is one of the comfiest I've slept in (and I've traveled the world). I'm in the Laura Room, but I pretty much have the entire house to myself, since I checked in on a Monday night. I toured the remaining rooms. Each has its own personality and is nicely and creatively decorated. It is now Tuesday, and I have decided to extend my stay so I can soak in the beauty and Southern hospitality of this special place.

Natchez is…read morenot the easiest place to get to in Mississippi, stuck away in a somewhat remote corner of the state along the mighty Mississippi River, just north of New Orleans where the River exits to the Gulf. History seeps from the sidewalks in this beautiful town. Natchez has many historic claims including being originally Natchez Indian territory, then part of France, then Spain, before becoming part of the United States and then Mississippi. You'll find structures here relating to each of these eras due to the strong historic preservation ethic alive in this town. Every historic preservation effort in the state of Mississippi traces its roots back to Natchez. My late wife was inspired by the beauty of Natchez and the history here to work a lifetime in Corinth to preserve it's historic past. Recently, I was privileged to spend a night in this lovely bed and breakfast. This Edwardian era home built around 1910 has been lovingly restored and furnished immaculately with antiques and period furnishings. If you are looking for accommodations that are shiny and new, this is not the place for you. Expect some squeaks in the floor and offsets in the floor in some places where modern additions have been made to accommodate things like indoor plumbing. Stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are somewhat narrow and steep. The magnificent view upstairs is the only compensation if you are fit enough for the climb. What you can expect here is a gracious host, an absolutely breathtaking view from the front and upstairs porches, a sumptuous truly Southern style breakfast, fine china and silverware, and an ambiance that will give you a sense of a bygone era. You will, in short, be transported back in time which for some of us is a good thing. If you are lucky enough to enjoy a visit here, I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

It is a truly elegant and eclectic lodging. Our host was magnificent, both in his hospitality and his cooking. There is no grander vista in all of Natchez than the upstairs porch high above and overlooking the Mississippi River. We practically parked ourselves there with delicious coffee in the morning (delivered to our door) and with cocktails in the afternoon after exploring Natches. I've stayed with two other B&Bs in Natchez in past years and nothing is to compare.

This particular room only had a tub with a handheld shower, but we knew that going in. The room was comfortable and furnished with antiques. The whole house, for that matter, reflected historic charm in architecture and furnishings. The home was clean and cozy. We were the only guests staying that night, so we had the whole house to ourselves. We let ourselves in and out with keys/keypad, and the caretaker was in a cottage home on the property only a few steps away. The only things we would have improved if possible was that our room got uncomfortably warm during the night. We had to turn down the thermostat in the main hallway (which felt much cooler) to adjust our room. Our room also on the front of the house, so there was some noise from traffic (engines, music, talking) during the night. The best thing about our stay was the breakfast. Warm bacon, the freshest farm eggs with thick, rich yolks cooked to order on English muffins with warm hollandaise. Warm large sweet muffins with homemade fig jam, coffee/tea, yogurt with fresh sliced strawberries. There was a washing machine and dryer that guests could use for $10 extra. The location was very convenient and within walking distance of everything we wanted to visit in town. The off-street parking on the property was nice to have for security since we had our car loaded with camping gear. Yes, pricier than box hotels and not as fancy as some of the mansion B&Bs in Natchez, but had a cozy, personalized feel of a family home.

Mike at the front desk is a joy and went all out to meet our needs. We had dinner in the restaurant Sunday night and the staff and food were top notch. Here is were we are disappointed, the grounds are in horrible shape, this was Labor Day weekend and the grass was knee high. The fountain was dirty and there were stacks of dead limbs in many places. We walked up to dinner from cabin 31 and had to leave the sidewalk because of overgrowth. Being from the south and loving the history of old homes with the grounds and beautiful gardens, I hope this is not a sign of budgetary issues, usually this is the first cutback made when trouble arises.

We stayed in the Pond Cottage 2-bedroom suite and unfortunately had such a poor experience that we…read moreended up paying for both Monmouth and a second hotel in Natchez because we could not stay the night. The "2-bedroom suite" layout was very misleading for three adults. The second bedroom was accessed through the main bedroom, making it awkward for privacy and much better suited for parents traveling with young children. The sitting area was essentially non-functional, leaving us with nowhere to comfortably spend time outside the main bedroom. The room had an extremely strong floral fragrance that was overwhelming and made one member of our party feel nauseated. While the grounds are beautiful in photographs, they clearly needed maintenance. Areas were overgrown and potentially hazardous for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. The parking area became muddy and flooded after only a mild rain. The outdoor furniture was dirty, weathered, and in some cases had exposed metal that made us uncomfortable using it. There was also a noticeable odor of cat urine around parts of the property. The bathroom initially appeared updated, until you encountered the wooden plank transition into the shower and the toilet area, which was so small it was difficult to even turn around comfortably. We specifically chose Monmouth for the immersive historic inn experience and instead found it to be an expensive disappointment and a $300 mistake.

Ok now for a history lesson: Longwood (also known as Nutt's Folly) -the largest octagonal house in the United States. This 6 story, 30,000 square foot mansion was designed by Samuel Sloan, a well-known architect from Philadelphia for cotton baron Haller Nutt and his wife, Julia. Construction began in 1860, but came to an abrupt halt when the "War Between the States" broke out in 1861 due to the workers being from the Union state, Pennsylvania. The exterior was mostly complete but the home's interior was left unfinished. Between February and July 1862, using his own slaves, Nutt finished the 8 room basement level. The interior walls were plastered and the present floor was installed. The Nutt family then moved into this completed section of the mansion. In the fall of 1863 the Union armies devastated Haller Nutt's Louisiana plantations, causing him a loss of $1,020,540.07. He died of pneumonia in 1864. Julia and his 8 children continued to live on the finished 1st floor. Because Nutt was a recognized supporter of the Union, his heirs (between 1866-1911) were eventually able to collect a total of $188,269.66 as partial compensation from the US Government for Nutt's losses. Once completed, the home would have had 32 rooms, 26 fireplaces, 115 doors and 96 columns. The rotunda was designed to have a system of mirrors inside the cupola to reflect sunlight down. Also, the shape of the cupola was designed to pull hot air upward, creating an updraft drawing fresh air through the lower floors. The property was deeded to the Pilgrimage Garden Club in 1970 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971.

I am not sure exactly what I was expecting when I wanted to visit this house, but this way exceeded…read moremy expectations. Driving up, you leave the main road, pay at the gate house, then drive along a winding gravel road and park at the back of the house. You go into the gift shop and show your receipt that you got from the gate house. They walk you into the first floor, or what the original owners intended to be the basement. Except for the center, all rooms around intended to be various rooms for entertainment and so forth but ended up being the living area for the family. It was wonderfully decorated. Then you go upstairs, and you can see that despite the outside of the house looking as if it was all intact, it was incomplete. The war between the states was underway when it came time to work on the main portion of the house, so you can see the bones of the structure and how things should have been. It was amazing and breathtaking. Outside, if you pay attention, you can see the fingerprints of the enslaved on the bricks as all bricks were made and fired on site. The details are amazing. I would recommend for anyone in the area.
