This place is awesome. It has a rich historical feel, it also feels very home like. The owner is a pretty nice dude. There are books everywhere in here and just cool little things to look at all over the place. I dont want to leave here. 😔

My husband and I stayed here on our wedding night and it was such a clean and beautiful space we stayed in the cottage. I will definitely be staying there again for a little weekend getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay and 100% would stay again. We were here for two nights to be close to our wedding venue. The inn is so beautiful and all of the rooms are decorated to perfection. Howard was such a pleasure to work with during the booking process and made everything very easy. The location is very ideal as well. We stayed in the suite downstairs and really enjoyed the little living room and having our own porch access. It truly felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Such a great little place,10/10!

We absolutely adored our time at The English Merchant’s Inn. It was by far the most unique place we have ever stayed…imagine visiting the home of a well-traveled, cool and quirky great Aunt and multiply that times 1,000. Our Harry Potter obsessed 11 year old LOVED it. Howard was wonderful to communicate with, gave great recommendations and was, overall, an excellent host. We CANNOT WAIT for our next trip to Waxahachie.

My mom had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before, and I honestly couldn’t have picked a better place for her first experience. We absolutely loved our stay at The English Merchant’s Inn. We stayed in Room #2, and it was beautiful. The canopy bed, clawfoot tub, and private rooftop patio made it feel so cozy and special. Our favorite part was spending the whole morning on the balcony, sipping tea and just talking. It felt so magical. No rushing, no plans, just enjoying the moment together. I know it’s a memory we’ll both hold onto for a long time. Everyone was so welcoming, and the whole place just had such a peaceful, homey feel. My mom is already asking when we can stay at another B&B, so I think that’s the best review I can give. We’ll definitely be back.

I have traveled the world and stayed in many very neat places. Nothing comes close to this place. Who knew I would find it in Waxahachie, Texas. There are no words for the ambiance. There are no words for Tony who makes you feel like a friend and family. Above and beyond. Howard cares deeply about his guests and again there are no words for what his wife put in to this beautiful place. If my wallet could afford it I would live here. Come visit! Especially if you love history. Oh! And recommend room #2. But they are all great.
