    Nice Host - Cool old Home - squeaky bed!

    May 22, 2013

    We stayed two nights in the Rose Room, which is one of the less expensive options. Bathroom was roomy and clean, bed was comfortable and cool but very sqeaky (not unexpected from such an old, cool antique piece I suppose). I would recommend bringing a small box fan or maybe a 'white noise' machine if you need background noise to sleep. When you get all settled in the place is VERY quiet! Our host was very gracious despite our late check-in around 10:30pm and I have no complaints. I would recommend a stay here especially if you would like a an historical experience; or if you are just tired of boring hotel and motel rooms! There are also many interesting items spread about the house of historical interest. I especially appreciated the basket of 'freebies' where you can grab some allergy meds or toothpaste if needed. Overall a great experience. Cheers - Dustin in Covington, LA

    Wonderful Bed & Breakfast That Makes You Feel Special

    April 10, 2013

    The special attention we received was great. Telling us about places to eat and visit and also giving what they have heard as favorite places from previous guest. Mapping out everything. Breakfast and company was wonderful. We will be going back soon.

    very relaxing atmosphere

    February 06, 2013

    We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing get away from home. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water for the big claw foot tub. The food was better than many B & B's that I have tried. Shirley and Chris were very helpful and knowledgable about the area. If you are staying in St. Francisville, I highly recommend the Peach Room at the Barrow House.

    Staying in history in a historic Louisiana village

    January 27, 2013

    Our stay at Barrow House was outstanding overall. We arrived and had an "orientation" by the innkeeper which made the most of our 2 day stay. She pointed out where to go, how far each site was, where to eat and how to prioritize our time. We took her advise and had a great stay. We were also upgraded which was a nice treat. The breakfasts were great - real authentic cuisine, and the we enjoyed a little porch sitting. There were lots of extras - movies, a pictoral history of the house, books about the area, coffee in the cottage in the morning, a refrig stocked with drinks, glassware, etc. Our suite was outstanding with lots of room and antiques. The only recommendation I would make is that the innkeeper has a passion for "bears" and has maybe gone a bit too far with the bear theme. and maybe they could be used in the common areas, but would recommend far fewer in the individual rooms.

    The Epitome of Southern Hospitality

    October 11, 2012

    We recently stayed at the Barrow House when we were in the area for a family wedding. We could not have asked for a better stay! Shirley is a shining example of a Southern hostess, welcoming us into her home, sharing the history of the home and furnishings, being a fantastic cook, sharing her knowledge and insight about the area and goings-on, ensuring that all the guests knew one another, and accommodating our needs. We would highly recommend the Barrow Inn and look forward to a return trip ourselves.

    Great B&B central to some fun attraction

    September 19, 2012

    The Barrow House Inn was a great place to stay - quiet, comfortable, delicious breakfast, and very conveniently located. The Magnolia Cafe, one of the best restaurants in St. Francisville by my estimation, was a fifteen-minute leisurely walk away - a good opportunity to check out the shops and information center on the main street. I would recommend this B&B.

      From New Orleans: Take I-10 into Baton Rouge. Near the Mississippi River bridge, you will come to the I-10 and 110 North split. Take 110 N. Then take Exit 8-C to Natchez, the very last exit off 110 N to Highway 61. Drive about 25 miles and then come to a stop light on the outskirts of the town. Turn left at this stop light onto Commerce Street. In about a mile, you will reach another stop light (the only stop light in the town itself). Turn left onto Ferdinand (the main street in the historic district) and drive for about 3/4 mile until you see our courthouse on your left. Barrow House Inn is directly behind the courthouse on Royal Street, so you can turn left before or after the courthouse. The inn is a large white house with a dark green sign in front.

Courthouse is a red-brick building with white columns and a black copper bell tower. On your right: Grace Episcopal Church and its' cemetery. Church has a long, black cast-iron fence with several live oak tree limbs hanging over the street.Barrow House in is *directly behind* the courthouse.
