Dunleith Historic Inn

Beautiful house, restaurant and grounds!

Like stepping back in time! Lovely property. The castle was the best restaurant and right on site. The whole town was a charming adventure.

We arrived at 8 pm to find our room unprepared for guests. It hadn’t been cleaned. It took a while to get someone there to clean it, which was an inconvenience, as we were tired from a long day of travel. Staff very friendly. Food at restaurant was excellent. We heard a lot of noises during the night, which made it difficult to rest well. Sounded like someone walking very heavily, or dropping heavy objects on the floor above us. Interesting experience!

I have stayed at other historic homes in Natchez and Dunleith is by far the best! Love this place and will return!! Our room was beautiful, modern and extremely clean! The food at the Castle restaurant is the BEST I have ever had. Fabulous anniversary for us!!!

The Castle Restaurant was excellent, food, service, and venue. The one staff person who checked me in and out was great. The condition of the property is deteriorating and will continue to go down in value if not maintained. It’s really disappointing that the owners have just put this property on the shelf! And lastly, a property of this magnitude should at least serve a continental breakfast. It’s very evident that there’s a problem.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Felt like a true Southern Belle. Our room was beautiful. We sat on the rocking chairs on the second floor balcony quite a lot and just enjoyed the luxurious atmosphere. It was very peaceful and quiet. The staff was very friendly. Enjoyed the house tour.

Love the history surrounding the property

The staff was very friendly and rectified room/bathroom conditions. The grounds are lovely. The Pub on the grounds was excellent, their staff awesome. The front desk was amazing!

Friendly staff. Beautiful property with an excellent restaurant. The room was beautiful and big. This is the first place we have stayed that was extremely quiet. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful property and very friendly staff. The food at the pub was excellent. Try the pork belly and Caesar salad.

Truly a step back in time! Stayed in the main house and it was absolutely stunning. Not the most comfortable bed, but it was authentic. Clean updated bathroom with great shower. Can easily spend a whole evening exploring and no need the leave the property. Will absolutely be back!

We were a little disappointed in our room location. We had been here a week before this visit for a music festival, and the house looked amazing, so we booked a room for our return trip. We got a "basement" room! Not in the historic house! It is NOT a Bed & Breakfast, just a Bed. It used to be a B&B, but in the last few years it was sold, and is now a "Historic Inn". Some other folks on the historic tour of the house said they got to stay in an upper floor room, but we were in what was obviously a "cellar" (maybe we didn't pay enough for a real room?!). During the tour, they even said that the lower level was used to hide horses from enemy soldiers during the Civil War. Yuck! As for the room itself, during the winter, it has a working gas fireplace, but it was shut off for the summer. The shower and water pressure was decent, the bed was comfortable. The heat/AC was adequate to keep the temperature comfortable, despite the rain and chill of being in the basement. The room and shower were well cleaned. Parking was minimal, with our car parked about 200 feet away over gravel road (difficult for wheeled suitcases to traverse). Oh, did I mention that the only amenities was Kurig coffee. The restaurant required reservations, and of course we had none. Good thing we had snacks with us! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate this about a 6.5. Nowhere near as nice as I had expected, especially for the price.

A favorite in Natchez

Although a short stay being one night, the accommodations were very comfortable. The beautiful grounds are an example of the antebellum south and provide a relaxing oasis. The room was extremely quaint and well maintained. Would enjoy staying longer next time.

The property was extremely beautiful and the service was all around fantastic, I just would like there to be a few repairs. Also, please tell guest to be mindful that due to the property being well over 100 years old, that the walls are thin and that sound travels. I know it is not the fault of the hotel for noisy guests, but if it is 10pm and you're on the shared courtyard balcony arguing with your soon to be ex-wife, please walk further away from the main building and take your phone off speaker; nobody wants to hear about your divorce process when we're trying to sleep.

It was a beautiful place to stay. The room was clean and the staff was pleasant and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Dunleith and learning about its history was an added bonus.We will definitely stay there again when in Natchez.

How sad that one of the premier antebellum homes in our country is being treated this way - and their guests as well. The receptionist was the most rude and unhelpful person I’ve encountered in over 65 years of world travel. Hope it sells and gets renewed to its former greatness. While staying in Natchez suggest staying at Monmouth 5 star.

It's a beautiful place overall, check in was at 4pm, went ok, not much info given, hauled my luggage by myself up several flights of stairs, no one to help. got to the room, only to notice the top blanket was damp, stained and had a dead bug on it. I tried to call the front desk but the phone was not working. walked back down to the front desk only to find it locked and the one lady gone by 5pm. Walked around the property and saw some people who told me that there was a pub hidden in the back that was opened, so I went there to eat. The food and service was excellent at the pub. Wanted to swim later but the pool was not ready apparently. Went back to my room for a shower, the shower was not completely clean, had to rinse it before I got in. ugh gross. There was a woman ghost in my room, I actually saw her for a split second, one light bulb flickered, I got chills and was scared a little, but I left the lights on to sleep and the tv loud so I couldnt hear anything else. The second night, still no blanket. I thought about checking out, but by the time I got back from my conference the front office was closed. I left the lights and tv on again. At about 2 or 3am the power went out. I layed in bed, frozen scared to death. I prayed for the sun to come up. As soon as it did, I got out of bed and called the front desk, but, of course, no one answered. I got dressed and left out of that place as soon as possible. I can't believe there is not at least one staff member on property.

Beautiful antebellum mansion and the grounds are beautiful

The Castle pub food and service were excellent. The Mansion House looked beautiful from outside, but our room was not clean, the TV was small with a faulty remote, the safe didn't work and the bed was old and uncomfortable. Reception staff were helpful but there was no housekeeping unless requested and everything shut at 9pm.
