While looking for a place to stay in Waxahachie, Texas, I came across The English Merchant Inn, a…read morebed and breakfast. This place intrigued me and decided to book this place for a week, since I was tagging along a business trip my husband had. Check in for this hotel is between 3- 6 pm. Unfortunately, my husband and I were not able to check in during that time and luckily had been able to get ahold of Howard, one of the owners of this place, and told us he would still be awake to check in until ~10 pm, when he goes to bed. But that he would leave the key in the cottage, where I had booked to get in, in case we come in after that. Howard was very nice when we met him (we ended up arriving after 9 pm). He showed us to the cottage, which is a small little place behind the main house (where there are 4 other rooms). The cottage has a king size bed with small living room. The bathroom is just a short few steps away from the sink. There is also a shower and a footed tub. I'm not a fan of baths and so I booked this place specifically for the shower. I wasn't too sure if the rooms inside the main house had showers, as I only saw photos of the footed tub (but there are a few rooms that do. I believe the room on the first floor only has a tub). The living room had a large TV and a Keurig machine with plenty of coffee and tea pods. I liked that a lovely tea set was provided to have my tea made in. As for breakfast, Howard had provided information for 3 places around town that we could get breakfast at. We ended up going to the White Rhino Coffee a few times and also El Mexicano Grill once. Overall, I would say that staying here was comfortable. Howard was very friendly and greatly appreciated him showing my husband and I a tour of the main house and most of the guest rooms (as we were the only ones staying at this bed and breakfast). But there were a few things that I want to mention that was unexpected. One was the daily housekeeping. Because my husband was at work during the day, I was staying in the cottage by myself. On our first day, my husband picked me up during his lunch so that we could pick up lunch at a nearby restaurant and then eat it at the cottage. When we came back, our door was wide open. I was surprised and thought I had forgotten to lock the door. But when I came in, I saw Tony, a friendly employee removing the sheets from our bed and putting on new ones. He told me that normally he comes by in the morning while guests typically would go out for breakfast but that he was late today. I had told him we didn't need housekeeping the next day. However, he came by, but only because I had asked Howard for some more tea pods for the Keurig, so he had Tony come by to provide new ones and clean towels. I didn't know if Tony would come but had a feeling, so I tried to take a shower very quickly when I woke up the next morning. The door that has the sink does not lock and because the way the shower and the mirror at the sink is angled, you can see someone taking a shower. This definitely made me feel uncomfortable, not knowing if Tony would come in for housekeeping and see me. Another thing that I want to mention is the train that goes all day and all night. The first morning we were here, I heard the train sounding the horn at 6:45 am and kept on going. My husband told me that typically the train will sound the horn when passing by intersections so cars know to stay back. I didn't really hear the trains too much later that first night. However, on the last night, the trains were going off all night long. I was so incredibly tired and severely sleep deprived when we woke up early the next day for our flight to fly back home to Los Angeles. I hardly was able to sleep (the train horn is very loud and you can hear it from several miles away). Also just wanted to mention that I heard a rooster around 6:30 am every morning and also heard the rooster in the afternoon each day. Same with hearing dogs barking. These noises didn't bother me but the train sound was definitely a problem. Of course these outside noises are not the fault of The English Merchant Inn but wanted to mention them. I really enjoyed my stay in the cottage at The English Merchant Inn but not entirely sure if I can stay again with all the noise. Where the majority of hotels are in this city, they are on the outskirts of town. According to my husband (he has traveled to Waxahachie several times for work), you can't hear the trains from the hotels, where he stayed before). If I was to stay here again, I would have to bring some really good ear plugs to block out all the noise for a restful night's sleep.

We stayed at the Tree Suite because we wanted to try out the jacuzzi. We ordered breakfast on the website but they said they were not doing that service at the time. I found that odd and wished they would have stated that on their website. When we arrived at the destination, nobody was at the facility but we were given direction on how to enter the room. The room was very comfortable, clean, and quaint. The bed was -very- comfortable and I loved the walk-in shower. Jacuzzi was very relaxing as well. I'd definitely be staying at this place again if I'm in the area.

Due to the pictures displayed on the website, we chose the Tree Room, especially since it contained a jacuzzi. When we arrived, I admit I was slightly disappointed in the location, but, only slightly, realizing not to expect much from Irving. But, once I got past that, I rather enjoyed the area, located in the Heritage historical region of Irving. We pulled into the long driveway to find our parking spot reserved with paper held by duct tape. Very cool. Our parking spot was right outside our room and we were immediately greeted by the owner, Lee. She was friendly by phone and in person. She made sure that the room was to our liking and showed us another room with all the cold sodas and snacks you could want, included in the package. You can bring as many drinks back to your room and store in the small fridge. They also had several bookshelves that you could choose from to read or even buy books from. Tom, the other owner, came to be sure we could understand our television set-up. Our room was a mixture of being a bit hoaky and a bit cool. They have a leafless tree overlooking the whirlpool tub. There was an awesome cowboy hat that hung near the bed. There were several wood ducks in the room. The bedframe was made of tree limbs. There were several books next to the bed for your reading pleasure. The bathroom was the best. It had an old-fashioned sink next to a wood wardrobe. There was also a shower if the whirlpool didn't work for you. They only lacked a door for the toilet, which was off to the side. I would say the room grows on you like the area, having a small town feel that leaves you wanting to come back. The best part of our stay was the breakfast. It was perfect. We had scrambled eggs that looked like a pancake, with several pieces of bacon on it. There was yogurt with fresh fruit on top, cut cantelope that was delicious, toast and orange juice. The coffee was awesome!! A great odor and flavor combined, the perfect touch to complete the meal, delivered to your door at the time you specify. Can't beat that for only 7 bucks per person. We topped off that morning by relaxing in the whirlpool jacuzzi in our room. What a great ending. I would avoid getting the cheaper flower arrangements, as I feel they were a bit overpriced for what you get. If you are looking for a quaint place, not fancy, located in a historical neighborhood, then you will enjoy this. The owners make you feel at home. You can see the place is a work in progress, but, the rooms are well taken care of. The area is a mixture of historic places and parks, along with some run down looking areas. The cool thing is that you have plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. You can walk around the area feeling safe, enjoying some of the nearby sights, and relaxing in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. You are also not far from Dallas or Fort Worth sights.
