Devereaux Shields House

Very nice staff, very helpful

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!!

We enjoyed this classic location in a quiet neighborhood. It showcases what Natchez really is all about - the history and the charm. The innkeepers are kind and helpful. It was a pleasure to meet them and stay at their B&B. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and quiet with the exception of some passing traffic (we were in Aunt Clara’s cottage, which is closer to a thru-street). The area is quite walkable and flat. It’s close enough to the town center and the river to easily reach in about 20 minutes’ time. Good exercise in a lovely setting. Food is ok. The hosts went the extra mile to accommodate our special dietstyle, and we really appreciate that. We recommend this B&B as a nice place to stay and enjoy Natchez.

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.

It was beautiful and comfortable.

Inn is on a lovely tree lined street in a walkable, historic area. Breakfast away is bright and cheery. As with all historic buildings, updates are a continual process.

Convenient to everything. Very hospitable owners and staff. Delicious breakfast every morning!

My bed was pretty squeaky. Kept waking my sister up!😆 Also, it would have been nice to have a Keurig set up for those who are looking for coffee throughout the day. It was chilly when we were there.

Very nice home. Welcoming Staff and Owners. Everything you need for a nice stay in Natchez

The house/room we stay in was very nice. Close to everything in town. The breakfast was great! Ms. Becky and Ms. Krystal were excellent and very friendly. The owners were very friendly. Will be back again!

Would not change anything

Very comfortable room in a beautiful house. Breakfast was only okay.
