Devereaux Shields House

Cozy, clean rooms greet you and bath is spotlessly clean with a heated floor which is a real treat; It’s nice to wake up to the smell of breakfast cooking and coffee brewing; the only reason we wouldn’t give the last star on rating is it’s our opinion that the mattress needs an upgrade.

Firstly the people of natchez are amazing . Really friendly. The 3 guest houses are beautiful and the hosts are fantastic. The reason of 4 stars and not five is we found the facilities in the suite were a bit lacking. I understand the building is old but feel new carpet , a coat of paint and most importantly a new bathroom with decent water pressure is needed.

Friendly staff. Pleasant rooms and great suggestions for dinner and a tour. We were able to check in and get to know about the area. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and our server Becky was very friendly. The innkeepers were very friendly and helpful!!

My husband and I stayed for two nights in a room in the home next to the main inn. Our room (the Roberts room) was on the second floor. It was very clean and had a very large, well-appointed bathroom. The only negative about our room whatsoever was that the bed pillows were so soft they were almost flat. We did not ask for other pillows, and they may have accommodated us if we had. The room had a ceiling fan, which we need to sleep comfortably, and lots of closet space. Parking was conveniently off-street, which we appreciated. As other reviewers have mentioned, breakfast is served a few houses down and across the street in Clara’s Cottage, which the innkeepers also own. The short walk was not a problem for us. It was not raining. We enjoyed sitting with and talking to the other guests. We found the breakfast to be disappointing—although Becky and Charlotte were trying very hard to make it as good as they could. I got the feeling they were either short-staffed or had new staff that wasn’t able to assist fully yet. The fruit appeared to be from those giant jars of mixed fruit you get at Costco or Sam’s. The blueberry bread was cut super thin and strangely toasted, and the egg dish was dry. Other reviewers have complimented the breakfast, so maybe we were there on an off morning. We did not go back the second morning and found a good breakfast restaurant nearby.

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and it was wonderful. There was a glitch with our reservation but Angela handled everything exceptionally and got us taken care of. The service was great, room very nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

There are many nice Bed & Breakfasts in Natchez. We recommend you stay in one of those rather than the Devereaux Shields House We had an excellent dinner at The Castle. There are many beautiful antebellum homes to tour during your stay. Longwood is especially interesting.
