Devereaux Shields House

My mom and I went for a mother/daughter trip and stayed in the Alice room at Aunt Clara’s cottage. It was cozy, quiet & clean. We felt safe and welcomed. Breakfast was amazing! Becky took great care of us and was so kind! We were seated with another mom and daughter that we connected with and enjoyed their company. It felt like they grouped people together at the same table that would have common interests with one another. We had a wonderful stay and would stay again. One note that may be important to some is parking is limited & hard to manage in a large SUV. It’s located in a neighborhood that has close neighbors. Some street parking and driveway parking that can be tight and hard to maneuver. Beautiful home and elegantly decorated.

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.

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.

Beautiful, beautiful house in a lovely quiet street in Natchez. Owners and staff really nice, helpful, and accommodating, Beautiful room (the Gallery Suite), even a balcony overlooking the street complete with rocking chairs. Small touches like coffee provided in the morning, soft drinks whenever needed and even a white noise machine by your bed (if you need it) are nice touches that add to your stay. Breakfast was down the road in Aunt Clara's and was delicious and different everyday. Ten minutes into town and there are a few restaurants and bars, most of which are really good (we didn't find a bad one). Its a definite yes to stay here at the Devereux Shields House.. and Natchez is lovely as well, especially if you are looking for a break from the big cities!

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.

I chose to stay at this B and B because of the great reviews people had written about the owners' hospitality and its fabulous location. Both were unacceptable. There was little concern for guests and their comfort. After three days, I had to ask for my trash cans to be emptied. Upon arrival I was greeted by the owner with an attitude of annoyance. It is not conveniently located. A walk to center of town is over one mile. There are many other places to stay in Natchez which should be on everyone's bucket list.
