This home is historic with lots of stories, which the hostess shares freely and knowledgeable of past events. There is also a ghost tour where photography is encouraged to see if any past residents show up in the photos. Very entertaining and enjoyable.

Staff is friendly, breakfasts were delicious and authentically Southern, prepared by the owner. Bed was comfortable, but no comfortable seating or table. Lampshade looked as if it had been run over. Dresser drawers were full of linens, as was armoire, so no place to store our clothes.We had to share our bathroom the evening of our arrival with a group of about 35 attending a garden party. Inconvenient and unsanitary. Bathroom floor needed cleaning. Charming Owner gave us a tour of the home, full of antiques belonging to her family . She does ghost tours as well, but we did not participate. Impressive that the property is still owned by the same family for generations. Needs some TLC.

Charming "faded glory" feel. Audrey, the 90 y.o. matriarch is charming and full of great stories of the past. Her daughter was a very thoughtful host. Good breakfast. The place is not "The Ritz" but a pleasant experience.

If you are looking for a true piece of history and authentic southern hospitality, this is your spot! Margorie and Valerie were so kind and accommodating! The home is a true lived-in home that hosts 200 years of amazing history! It was an honor to have them share their home and life stories with us! The mystery dinner was great and so much fun! Visiting with Ms. Marjorie during a wonderful breakfast was enchanting! Truly a unique experience that will be a long-held memory for us! Thank you Glenfield House for sharing your history with us!

Pretty run down property in need of maintenance and repairs if measured by usual b & b standards. If you are anything besides southern, white American, you might want to avoid this “southern hospitality” as the eccentricities and biases are right out in the open.

Very very disappointed, totally unsatisfactory
We arrived at the 4 star rated Glenfield Plantation B&B around 4:30 pm Friday, June 19, 2020. We had booked it for our 39th anniversary getaway. The photographs on your website showed beautiful, pristine gardens, beautiful, well kept sparkling rooms at the Glenfield B&B. However, upon arrival, it was evident these pictures were 30 years old. The yard was overgrown, Patio in disarray, huge dog barking ferociously through window, the Outside of house Not kept up, very dirty, Wasps in room, dead bugs under the bed, windows A/C and windows and curtains never had been cleaned, the room was not at all as pristine as the pictures implied. The bathroom was not plantation quality. I was visibly upset as the unprofessionally dressed owner noticed. The door to our room did not even have an exterior lock on it! I immediately went to hotels.com chat to get a refund. I stayed on chat for at least an hour, with no help. My husband appealed to the owner And at first They weren’t going to do anything but finally refunded the second night less $25.!! We were out of pocket $195.00! We took the $134.00 refund and left!! I consequently booked the Grand Hotel through Hotels.com. Very very disappointed!! I am sorry that I didn’t take pictures of the B&B’s current state. But as I said, I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.

This review is so fabricated I won’t even begin to address it. Your husband was fine with the accommodations, and such a nice person - it was you that had your nose up in the air before you entered the property and walked inside, which shows you have no knowledge of preservation. It seems that you were disappointed in both places you were at. Please do not confuse historical old with dirty. And that was not the property owner who greeted you at the door. It was the housekeeper.

A Charming Place to Stay
This was my favorite place to stay during my 7-day Louisiana/Mississippi Trip. Our hostess Valerie, whose family has owned the house for 100+ years, is a charming Southern gal who is proud of her family’s heritage home and land. Her children helped with breakfast and luggage. The home is filled with family heirlooms and bric a brac. It was a thrill to stay with a real family in a real antique home.

Wonderful hospitality.
First impressions: Annoyance at the difficulty in finding the plantation, especially after dark. The address was not enough information for our navigation system. However, once that was resolved we found the warm hospitality by the proprietress and her mother to make the search well worth it. The house is old and very authentic in every detail, making us feel that we had stepped back in time. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast delicious and ample without being over abundant. We were given a fascinating tour and history of the house by the hostess whose family has lived on tha property for over 150 years. we don't recommend this choice for finicky people, but for those looking for authenticity and warm personality over luxury seek out this gem.

They entertained a tour group on patio which was more important than we were. They tied a dog up so as not to bother tour group. We listened to Jack bark for two hours straight! We requested help from three of the staff to no avail. They were attentive to tour group only. With the price we paid, we were VERY dissatisfied. Never been treated like that before and we've stayed at lots of B&Bs. The older lady hostess has no clue about tact. Never again.

Price paid at check-in did not match reservation.
This B&B is located just a mile or so outside Natchez. It's a beautiful home with a rich history. Our hostesses were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. Our room held beautiful period furniture, but the room itself felt awkward. Multiple doors leading out of room & no key meant limited privacy and security. We had 1 chair, limited surfaces and no drawer or closet space, so we had to put things on the bed or floor. The drawers & armoire were filled with linnens. Some dust and peeling wallpaper, but fitting for 1800s theme. All in all, a fun, unique experience. But please check fine print on HOTELS.COM site. The confirmed price for 4 people was not what the B&B charged. Because we have kids, the charge was nearly doubled. We were not prepared, but too tired to argue:/
Thank you for writing such a kind comment regarding your stay at Glenfield, and letting the readers understand the fine print policy. Just like any contracts people sign, always read the fine print of the hotel policy. The additional person cost covers food, houskeeping, linen and room usage. Unlike hotels - a bed and breakfast may have different restrictions. You were lovely guest with your family in our home. Thank you for enjoying your stay with us!

This bed and breakfast was beautiful
It felt like I was staying at my grandmas house, the staff were very nice and made me feel at home. The history was very interesting, the tour she gave of the house was nice. My kids were very scared to stay here because it "looked" haunted, but it didn't feel haunted at all.

Historic, unique B&B close to downtown
This historic B&B was a unique experience, and perfect for anyone who appreciates a little Civil War history. The B&B is run by the family who is very welcoming and interesting hear from to learn more about the history of the plantation. We stayed for one night while stopping through Natchez. If you have your own car, it is a short drive to the downtown area, so very conveniently located.

Dissappointing
This was my first experience with staying at a B&B and it did not meet my expectations. Maybe my expectations were too high. It is a historic home but not in very good condition. Our room smelled musky. There was no charm to this home and breakfast was just ordinary in my opinion.
Response from Manager on Oct 15, 2015
We are sorry to hear that your expectations were not met, and sometimes we are better suited for a mature couple who appreciate antiques, European architecture and historic preservation. We are a family home also and that is why we look livable in some areas, but run down is not an accurate.

Southern History and Charm!
Our recent stay at Glenfield Plantation was simply wonderful! The owners went out of their way to tell us of places to see and restaurants to tempt our taste buds with Southern cuisine. They truly went above and beyond our expectations for service. The breakfast each morning was hot and freshly prepared and enjoyed by all the guest that followed with a historic home tour. The antiques in this home are simply remarkable and it has been in their family for now eight generations. Our accommodations were comfortable and stately. I felt as if I was stepping back in time like "Scarlette O'Hara". The grounds are tranquil and pet friendly, and less then a five minute drive to town. Don't expect a five-star hotel, as this home is their family home yet well maintained for a home this size and age (over 200 years old before the Civil War). The hospitality you will receive surpasses all other lodging to compare with. We felt like family and given a hug goodbye upon departure. If you enjoy history, and southern hospitality you should give Glenfield a try.

historische Pflanzervilla im Familienbetrieb
Alle Räume waren original erhalten. Die Bette waren noch die alten Betten mit großen Baldachinen. Nur wer Sinn für so etwas hat, sollte dort buchen. Aber dann ist es ein wunderbares Erlebnis. Die alte Dame des Hauses erzählte ganz reizend und begeistert von der Geschichte des Hauses und ihrer Familie. Von ihr erhielten wir ein jeden Morgen anderes Südstaaten-Frühstück, begleitet von immer neuen Geschichten. Fließendes Englisch ist empfehlenswert, um das zu genießen.
