Monmouth Historic Inn

I booked a stay for my parents as a Christmas gift. They love Natchez but were unsure where to stay since there are so many options. I am so glad I ended up choosing Monmouth! They stayed in a beautiful room on the upper floor of the main house, with rocking chairs to sit and enjoy their coffee in. They loved the breakfast and the beautiful azalea bushes around the property. Booking was extremely easy and they said the staff was phenomenal. They are looking forward to visiting again!

The service was hands down. The 1818 was fair and over priced. The grounds was over grown. There is no spa. No robe. The jacuzzi tub was broken. Yes it’s clean beds super soft. But it’s like the owner hasn’t put a dollar into this place in 20 years

Staff was so nice, room was great!! The grounds are beautiful!!

Beautiful peaceful place to stay

Monmouth is a beautiful setting to spend some quiet days in Natchez. It feels far from town but is only a mile from downtown. The staff was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. And breakfast – a lovely plate of Southern fare prepared by a team led by Mary. Her French toast is famous but do not miss her delicious homemade granola on the sidebar. Heads up – be careful of your room choice. I’m sure there must be some fine rooms, but we didn’t have one of them. Our Courtyard Building room looked like it was decorated poorly in the 1970’s to imitate the 1870’s. Carpet was worn, furniture was stained, faucet handles fell off in our hands, the shower was a tiny spritz of water which took too long to warm, the bed was worn and saggy…. This was no Shaker Village. I wanted to appreciate the historic nature of the facility but it felt more like a trip to grandma’s house – the poor grandmother. There are lots of lovely homes and B&B’s in Natchez. Monmouth is one to consider – historic house, lovely grounds, and delightful host staff. Enjoy breakfast. But choose well on the room.

We had a very large and comfortable room with king bed. The bathroom was so nice. Spa tub was amazing. It was just like your own private hot tub. Closet was walk in with dresser. They had the best coffee. Traditional breakfast was good. I am not much on eating breakfast. It was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again. The only negative I have to offer is the carpet needed replacing. Grounds are beautiful. Very peaceful.

Beautiful property & flowers & trees are gorgeous right now. Having a pretty area to walk around on after scar trip was such a treat. I love being able to sit outside in courtyard for a glass of wine to unwind and the restaurant for dinner is excellent.

The room was pictured as a beautifully appointed King Suite. The room was 12 x 12 with old furnishings and mattress that needed to be replaced. The room looked nothing like any of the pictures on the website. The air conditioning vent blew directly on the head of the bed. Cold air blew right on our faces all night. Additionally, the room did not have a coffeemaker and there was no coffee available until 7am at the breakfast. The next issue was that while no one can control the weather, the walkways to the "outbuildings" were in terrible condition. Where there was brick walkway it was so slick due to moss and mold that it was dangerous. Where there was no brick walkway, we had to walk through the mud to get to our room. The ceiling in our bathroom was peeling and the toilet ran constantly. The door to the room did not seal on 3 of the 4 sides as the door was very old and there were flying insects in our room. The front porch to this "outbuilding" had peeling paint and mildewed chairs. Upon arriving at the breakfast we were informed that while breakfast is included, gratuity is not. Who brings their wallet to a free breakfast? The overall experience was poor. The cost of $288 for this room is outrageous. The property needs serious work.

Beautiful room and grounds. Enjoyed a fantastic supper in the hotel restaurant. Spent time in the Beautiful garden. Hotel staff were very friendly and animated. I enjoyed visiting with them. Our waiter has served there 25+ years. Stately retreat!
