Monmouth Historic Inn & Gardens was built in 1818, and is a National Historic Landmark. As a charter member of Southern Living's Hotel Collection, Monmouth is the perfect choice for travelers seeking an authentic southern travel experience. Wake up each morning to the aroma of a full Southern style breakfast, then take a tour of the magnificent mansion before exploring the grounds and all 26 beautifully landscaped acres. As the sun sets on the picturesque surroundings, relax on the veranda with a Mint Julep and complimentary hors d'oeuvres. In the evening, enjoy fine dining at the award winning "Restaurant 1818" in the antebellum home. As the end of the day draws near, retire to one of the 16 luxury suites or 14 elegantly appointed rooms, where a private bath, turned down bed, and sweet dreams await!
Wonderful house to tour. Beautiful grounds and several out building. Our tour guide was a wonderful lady and shared a lot of history about the property. We did not stay in the home but we plan on it on are next trip.

This is our 4th visit to Monmouth and we’re never disappointed. Although some of the rooms need some refreshing, it’s just a wonderful spot to stay in Natchez. The grounds are gorgeous and the breakfast each morning is fantastic. Wonderful and helpful staff.

Have to say was a little disappointed. Had expected a bit of classic, historic, luxury here but needs some investment - becoming a little tired. When we arrived there was a power cut - it was disappointing but that's life! What we could have done with, however, was a little more information - no-one seemed to know what was going on and, in the absence of air con, it would have been nice to have been offered a drink/glass of water - even if it wasn't icy cold! We were just left to our own devices. Thankfully, the issue was resolved later on and when we returned from town the air con was back on and we had dinner in the restaurant in the evening. The meal was good but not exceptional (which I was hoping for)! We took up the offer of the free tour of the house the next day and that was enjoyable and we then learned there was a bar in the house! Why did nobody tell us about this?! Some lost revenue there for sure... The other thing I have to mention - albeit reluctantly - was the service at breakfast. There were two ladies on duty. One of them advised us to read the menu "and make sure you read the bottom line - that's the most important one"! This was the sentence that advised guests that gratuities were not included. If that wasn't rude enough, the waitress then went on to have a "giggle" with a couple of other guests about what the English were like in this regard! Looking back, I don't know why my husband and I didn't get up and walk out at that point and make a complaint. Perhaps because that's not the British way...needless to say, for this reason alone, we would not return.…

The house is very tired looking, outdated and in need of some serious refurbishment. There is nothing luxurious about it except maybe for the Occitane toiletries! You expect character and antics in a historical house but we had an uncomfortable creaky bed, a carpet that had seen better days and old bed linen. The restaurant on site served us a nice home cooked meal but nothing special and the usual American breakfast in the morning. All the staff were very nice and helpful. It was overpriced for what was on offer.

We stayed in one of the cottages and it was truly awful. A plug-in air freshener made the room and everything in the room stink. All of the bedding smelled. One has to wonder what smell they were trying to cover up. In addition to the overwhelming smell, the bed was made with only one sheet. Hopefully, the blanket was washed after the previous occupant left. Furniture upholstery was old and stained. On a positive note, the restaurant was delicious and service was great. But the hotel room was disgusting.

What a historical place. Hidden gem in Natchez. Lots of history here. Staff was welcoming. Breakfast was an eloquent setting as well, food was delicious! Located not far from downtown/river in Natchez.

The Monmouth consists of a large historic house which contains a restaurant and a few rooms which are available for accommodation Many of the hotel rooms are actually in the grounds, ours included. The grounds were beautiful with a lovely lake. Breakfast was served in a separate building which involved a short walk. The weather was perfect the two nights we stayed but if it had been raining the fact that everything isn’t under the same roof may be a small issue. Natchez city was lovely, very charming and unspoilt. With a very friendly population. We chose to walk to and from the hotel, which was just under half an hour walk to the riverfront. We used Natchez as a stopover on our drive from Memphis to New Orleans. I would totally recommend Natchez if you are making the same journey. It would be a shame to miss this lovely place. I would like to raise a couple of points which we found a bit disappointing. Firstly the fixtures and fittings felt ‘tired’, I know it’s an historic building with period furniture. But I’m referring to the electrics and plumbing. The room we had certainly is ready for an upgrade in the bathroom. The other issue was regarding the bar, we had a table booked in the restaurant for 7.30, we had a bottle of wine with g th he meal and fully expected to be able to order another drink or two after we finished our meal, maybe retire to the lovely bar area. Only to be told that the bar was locked up at 9pm. At this stage I’m getting flash backs to the wonderful Fawlty Towers episode where the American tourist arrives to find the restaurant closed and unable to get a meal. We would stay again if in the area but I do feel there is room for improvement.…

We were upgraded to the Duke of Monmouth suite which was really over the top Victorian. The suite was the size of an apartment. The grounds of the Inn are beautiful. The tour of the house seemed very rushed to us although it did include information on the house and family. Because most of the rooms in the main house are for guests the tour really only includes part of the bottom floor. Dinner in the restaurant was good.

First let me tell you I am a major cheapskate. Lol. So normally I would not consider staying here. But I am SO GLAD I booked a room here. The grounds are stunning and the rooms are large and beautiful and comfortable. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. Your stay includes a delicious breakfast and a tour of the house. Highly recommend.
