    Devereaux Shields House is a lovely and comfortable place to stay in Natchez. The proprietors, Eleanor and Ron, are welcoming and full of great information about the area. The location is wonderful within walking distance from the downtown area and many of the historic homes in Natchez. The breakfasts were sumptuous and delicious.

    We were in town for "Angels on the Bluff". Chose Devereaux House for the value and location. We stayed in their cottage just up the street. Ron & Eleanor were very helpful and knowledgable about Natchez. If you are interested in trains, or model railroading..ask Ron for a tour of his developing train layout. It will be incredible when finished. We would absolutely stay there again.


    Devereaux Shields a nice stay.

    Eleanor and Ron were very nice and helpful. I thought we were staying in the main house, not the cottage. That was a bit of a let-down, but we got over it. Not sure if there's a way to figure that out ahead of time, without calling them. Natchez was very nice, as well.

    Stayed in Louise room for two nights. The hospitality of our hosts was outstanding and made our stay very enjoyable. Great atmosphere, location and cleanliness. The other guests were also having a good time and contributed to the experience.
