Odds are if you are a tourist, you come to Natchez, Mississippi, in search of history. 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.

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.

Her name escapes me who gave the tour, but she was willing to provide both sides of the story of the home, and not a whitewashed version, which we appreciated. The home is very well taken care of and the grounds are beautiful. I cannot speak for the rooms as we did not see inside them and were not guests who stayed on the property. The house does not act as the place guests stay. They stay in other buildings that are on the property. Guest services were very nice as well.

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

We loved strolling through the beautiful surroundings and enjoying moments of peace and serenity. Our stay at Brandon Hall Plantation exceeded all expectations. It offered a perfect retreat where history, tranquility, and impeccable hospitality converged. We wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Brandon Hall for an unforgettable experience.

I stumbled upon Brandon Hall by accident while planning a quick weekend getaway to Natchez, and I…read morehave to say, we really lucked out with this one. The home is a 10 minute drive from downtown Natchez, but WELL worth the distance. We ended up getting lost, so be sure to follow the directions from the website instead of putting it on your phone. We drove up to the mansion blindly, and were astounded as to how magnificent and beautiful that the grounds were. It is breathtaking. Kaiser, the owner greeted us upon check in and led us to our rooms. We stayed in the master suite upstairs with the en-suite side bedroom. The rooms are furnished impeccably with period appropriate furniture. It was immaculately clean. The home has a wrap around porch complete with picturesque rocking chairs on the second level overlooking the beautifully landscaped front yard. Lush, green trees, and beautiful flowers are EVERYWHERE!!! There is no on site food, or beverages, so be sure and bring your own. They also do not allow red wine, so keep that in mind. The beds are a dream, and it is almost surreal to wake up to nature calling outside your windows and the smell of freshly cooked breakfast coming from downstairs. Breakfast was divine, and afterwards, Kaiser gave us an informative and interesting tour of the home and it's history. I would recommend Brandon Plantation to anyone who visits Natchez. It is one of the most picturesque locations that I have ever visited in my life, and paints the perfect picture to what it must have been like to live on a plantation in the antebellum south.

Not end of the world but didn't want to be separated. THEN we get to the room, and we have ZERO blankets. Just a sheet. And because they have ZERO staff on site from 10pm to 8 am, I was screwed and froze all night! Called the next morning and asked for blankets, told them I had a sheet only. No apology or anything! There are coffee pots in the room but no water to make coffee. So bring your own water. Also, I'm road tripping and this was the worse (hardest) bed yet. Staff were friendly and rooms were clean and of course the mansion is majestic. But my experience here was awful. I froze all night. Terrible experience.

In terms of pricing, Twin Oaks is definitely a deal compared to some of the other b&b's in town. Besides your nights stay, you also get a breakfast at Dunleith and tours of both Twin Oaks and Dunleith. The highlight of this stay was the warm hospitality at Twin Oaks! Regina and Doug are very knowledgeable of the area. When my friend and I told Regina we were planning a food tour of the south, she gave us advise on where to visit and what to eat. Great advice - we loved every restaurant she recommended. Doug knows a lot about the history of Natchez and was such a fun person to talk to. I definitely learned a lot from him. When my friend and I were leaving Natchez, Regina told us we can contact her if we run into any trouble during the rest of our tour of the South. That meant a lot to me knowing that she really would come help us if we needed her help.
