Monmouth Historic Inn

This inn is a gem in a most beautiful town. Charming, sophisticated, clean, authentic, good food and gorgeous grounds. I cannot speak highly enough of this place. The staff were equally amazing - big call outs for Ivering, Michael and Gia. Southern hospitality at its best. Would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat

The Inn could be lovely, but it is badly overdue for some real love and care, and missing simple basic amenities to be comfortable. Being a historic building, original decor and furniture should be enjoyed as part of experience. But, unfortunately the rooms overall felt unclean and uncared for. There was a very strong smell of damp and must, the vents were covered with black mold and heavy dust and should be replaced. Rugs and bed fabric similarly need professionally steam cleaned and left socks black. There was no water in the room - a really simple basic. Even a reusable glass bottle of filtered water should be a given especially as there is no overnight reception/place to buy water. I called before booking to request a room without the full four poster canopy and was reassured it was no problem on a quieter weekday night - just to note on booking. On arrival I was disappointed to see it apparently couldn’t be met or had been missed. I also called on the day and mentioned my arrival after 9pm, staff did not think to tell me there would be no open reception and that my room key would be left in a cubby with a map to my external building room. It would have been good to know in advance as a single female arriving in the dark. Other notes would be; bathrooms need refurbished, they are not original or historic, just badly outdated with spitting taps and cracked plastic. The grounds are very unkempt, weeds , overgrown paths and dead planters, no visible effort towards flowers or hedges as suggested in photos. I was really looking forwards to enjoying the grounds but it felt really unwelcoming and sad to try and walk around. All garden furniture was dirty, cobwebs filled with dead insects around doors and in corners. Breakfast was included in my rate but tipping felt pressured. The food felt very poor standard, I would rather have the option to pay for a really good quality few options. The historic tour was a highlight, mainly through Lynns enthusiasm and knowledge. Overall, it could be done so well, be beautiful and live up to the special experience it promises, but instead I felt the rate I paid was not justified. I enjoyed my visit purely for the atmosphere of the location and house, but was disappointed at the low level of care and quality.

On a road trip from the UK. We stayed here on Saturday, the 22nd of August 2026. Michael, at check-in was great. Very welcoming with a wonderful friendly chat to start our stay. A big room in the Pond Cottage building. A nice location with easy driving access into Natchez and the surrounding area. Breakfast was nice and easy. The hot food was good. Know before you go - there was no shower gel. Shampoo, conditioner, and bar soap. Recommend. Carole : )

The worst home tour (by far) we have ever been on - do not waste your money $54 for two or time 25 minutes. All you see are tables and chairs set up for the restaurant which is now in the bottom floor of the home. The bedrooms are not on tour, no parlor furniture or kitchen, not even the sword which was made over was not there. HORIBLE!! A complete rip off, which needs to be discontinued! You want to serve, then serve food and stop provide worthless tours.

It was a last minute booking so room options were limited. However, parking is limited for carriage house. room was clean but there has been some water damage to floor and there was still the dampness. It's a historical structure you expect some of that. the bed was beautiful but the actual mattress was lumpy. The pictures online of the landscaping must have been taken months ago, very overgrown and we could not use the verandah of our room due to overgrowth and filled with leaves. This a privately held home and I am sure the upkeep is astronomical. It is a gorgeous piece of history but if you are looking for modern luxury it might not be for you.
