Devereaux Shields House

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.

This is by far my favorite place to stay at in Natchez. It's a perfect location and a very comfy room. Ms. Angela manages this location, and she is so accommodating and very personable. We adore her!! The breakfast is homemade and delicious. Can't wait to go back!

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.

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.

We booked the stay for the weekend and it was so wonderful. We was greeted by the most friendly staff at check-in. The nights were excellent with plenty to do around the city. Breakfast the next mornings was amazing! So much history to soak in while here. We loved the entire stay and we will be a repeat customers. Thank you so much!!!!

The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful and, overall, we enjoyed our short stay. However, although we had arranged a late check-in, it took a long time for someone to answer the door, and no one answered the phone (which was worrisome). I did not like the breakfast casserole, which was the only option.

We paid in full for our elopement weekend at Devereaux Shields House. We arrived the night before and decided to change the location of our actual ceremony and photos. The owner found out, and CALLED the other location to attempt to have them cancel on us. She was angry that we were not using her property. We paid her in full and were not requesting anything monetarily returned to us. She then proceeded to argue with us the morning of our wedding about it. We wanted a stress free, intimate weekend, and this was a really intrusive and out of line interaction with this property owner. Quite frankly, I am disgusted with the amount of money we paid, and how we were treated. There are far too many other lovely options in Natchez. I do not recommend this establishment whatsoever!

Had a wonderful anniversary getaway in Natchez at Aunt Clara's Cottage. The staff and home owners were all very accommodating and wonderful. Breakfast was wonderful and the sheets were like heaven. Thank you everyone for your hospitality! Angela had a massage lined up on the property for us from Gina with Spirit of Change and we took a very historical and informative tour with Rev's Country Tours. Thank you for making our 10 year so special!
