Edwardian Inn

I’m from West Helena and i don’t get to stay in many places outside of my grandmothers home whenever i visit but this time, due to so many people at her home, we decided to find somewhere else to stay. The Edwardian Inn was GREAT! I love the Victorian style rooms and the wood? I was in LOVE. Ive already told my grandmother that I’ll be staying there again when i come home. Thank you so much for your service!

What an incredibly lovely historic Inn! The rooms were clean, beautiful linens, great hospitality and delicious complimentary breakfast made to order. It's quiet and elegant. The poor town of Helena is a disappearing DELTA town all but gone and I hope a miracle can save it. The MS River State Park nearby is incredible!

Wonderful place to stay anytime! Beautiful architecture suggesting golden age wealth (you could spend a half day admiring the Inn itself). Stayed with my partner in room 10 which was opulent. All good prices I’d say. Everything was comfortable- service, rooms and beds, parking, breakfast. The town has a surprisingly great museum (delta cultural center), pleasant downtown and riverwalk. It’s also nearby to Clarksdale/the Mississippi blues trail, and not far from Memphis. Wes was a great innkeeper and it looks and sounds like the current owners are too. I would 100% recommend&return with more people.

We loved our stay at the Edwardian Inn. The inn itself is so beautiful with all of the woodwork. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The owners are friendly and the food was delicious. Just be aware that this is an old house so there is no elevator. It’s part of the charm, but if your bag is overloaded, you might not feel that way.

The Edwardian Inn is the best and possibly the only good thing about Helena, currently. This was a one-night stop for us on a Great River Road Trip. The Inn is beautiful and the couple who own it are charming. The room and bed were comfortable and suited our one-night needs. I can't imagine what one would do in Helena for more than a night as most of the town is desolate. Fortunately, the Inn serves a delicious breakfast because restaurants in the area are few. I do hope the town sees some sort of revival in the future. I would imagine the October Blues Festival is a good shot in the arm for any business that is still operating.

I slept in #5, The William A. Short room, named after the original owner. It was clean and comfortable, and I got a good night's sleep. Staying there was one of the best features of my brief visit to Helena. ||But the highlight was breakfast with the young, attractive couple who own and manage the place. We had an engaging conversation for an hour or two about a variety of topics. I know a little about a lot of things, and now I know something about travel in Southeast Asia and detassling corn.||I'm not a big fan of B&Bs, especially those in old buildings. This was the nicest one ever. Two small negatives. I saw some ladybugs on the wall above the mirror in my bathroom as I was getting ready for bed. They're harmless, no big deal to me. And there was the sound of machinery from across the road. Steady, not very loud, white noise. But, like the ladybugs, some may object.

Lucked into this Bed & Breakfast as a last minute reservation while traveling. What a beautiful surprise this place is! Robert and his wife were great hosts. The room was perfect, huge, clean and comfortable. The workmanship and woodworking in this B&B is amazing. Breakfast was a real treat with options for several different items. The home was built in 1904. We will definitely make a trip back to this lovely gem.

We are travelling across the USA and were looking for a place to stay here in Helena. Based on the available options, we booked the Edwardian Inn because of the excellent reviews despite the hefty price tag for the area. The hotel is full of character and charm and we may have just caught the owners on a bad day, but the service was anything but great. While we did arrive after our stated arrival time, it was well within the published check-in window. We had to ring the bell twice and send an email, plus wander around before the door was finally opened. France gave us a room key, took our breakfast order and helped us find one of the few restaurants in town that is open on a Sunday evening. I had to remind her that we weren’t locals and have her show us on the map where the restaurant was in relation to the hotel. The room was comfortable enough and spacious, although the heating unit was extremely noisy and woke me up every time it cycled on. The bed and pillows were comfortable. We requested a 7:30 am breakfast and made our way down to the dining room. I arrived and no one greeted me. My husband arrived a few minutes later and still no one acknowledged our presence. We helped ourselves to coffee and juice, although it was not obviously a self serve station. About 7:40, Robert (I presume, because he didn’t introduce himself or even say good morning), came out with our breakfasts and placed them on the table. I mentioned that the wifi was not working this morning, and he said that he had noticed that himself. He tried to reboot the modem/router but came back to clear the dishes and said he was going to have to call the ISP as the reboot did not work. Without wifi we had no tv in the morning (it did work in the evening). He did offer to let us use his cellular data, which was appreciated. Breakfast was tasty, although the butter for the toast was as cold as the common areas. We like to support small, independent businesses as much as possible, but we paid more for this room in town with not much going on than we have any other property in far nicer towns. I would suggest that outside of high season, the rates might be dropped - I am sure other travellers passing through might consider this lovely property if the rates were a bit cheaper. There was only 1 other room occupied while we were there. We did not see the other guests at breakfast, but there were 4 time slots available so they may have eaten later. Our customer service experience did not reflect the southern hospitality we have received on our trip so far.

AMAZING!!! my husband and I stayed in the General Tappen room. We where so so impressed with this glorious B&B. You can absolutely tell how much care and detail has gone into this by the owners. Such a warm welcoming place to stay, we will definitely be back! The breakfast was SO good!!

This was my first time back in Helena in 27 years. Frankly, I was concerned; I'd heard that the town had taken a rough turn -- and frankly it had. If there's criticism to be leveled at the Edwardian it's about its neighborhood: not exactly walkable, and while close to some nice, local attractions, it's also close to a very rundown downtown. Still, everywhere I went the people were (still) incredibly friendly, and even optimistic about their town. But the Edwardian itself is only better than I remember it. What a rich, authentic-seeming experience. The place literally smells good. And the people are very friendly (but not in-your-face friendly, like some B&Bs), and my room was finely appointed with both old-school furnishings and modern amenities. I'm very happy that life is taking me back to Helena -- in large part because I can keep coming back to the Edwardian.

Great place to stay in the area--beautiful old home (1904) well maintained and clean. Tasty breakfasts and friendly proprietor. Highly recommend this place.

FABULOUS. Wonderful owners and beautiful accommodations. When I can't stay with relatives for free, I'll be happy to pay to stay at the Edwardian. Delicious homemade breakfasts...puts any other to shame. We had other family there and we booked the 3rd floor which has two bedrooms and a common area. Perfect for our kids to play without disturbing other guests. I will not hesitate to recommend the Edwardian Inn to anyone requiring accommodations within an hour's drive. It's absolutely worth it.

My husband is from Helena and I've been coming to the town for the last 25 years and while I'd seen the Inn for years, we never had the need to stay with anyone except family. This time we came with 3 of our 5 sons and all I can say is WOW. It was everything I'd hope for in a BNB. The house was spectacular and really transported me back to the turn of the century. All the rooms were large and well appointed with everything we needed. I'm luvin' my new friends Amber and Joel, owners. You can really feel their passion for what they do. Big hugs to Tammy, the housekeeper for keeping us well stocked with fresh towels and anything else we needed. The icing on the cake was the gift shop that featured made to order Bath and Body products (Bath Junkie). They were a bit pricier than what you can buy in a store but the fact that you can customize your scents and colors in each product made it a fun splurge. I think I'm going to have a problem with family when I come to Helena and I'm staying at the Edwardian and not with the family. LOVED LOVED LOVED it! Did I say I LOVED it?

.Stayed during Sunflower Blues and Gospel Festival In Clarksdale MS. Have to admit it's a bit of a ride to Clarksdale, but well worth it. For those who have not been to "The Delta" you may be surprised at how depressed to area is overall. So many closed and abandoned businesses and homes. The Edwardian is a survivor. Built early 1900 it has the charm of days gone by.There is so much history to this area it warrants exploration. It's Civil War, Cotton, Mississippi River,and for me it's "Blues" ties. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is worth the stay alone

Had a great experience at the Inn when we were in town for a wedding. Even though it was over 80 outside, our room on the top floor was comfortable with options to help with the temperature. Overall great experience and would highly recommend for those interested in visiting the area!

BEST hotel in the area. Prices are excellent, very generous and courteous owners attending all your needs. The room was wonderful, super clean and a comfortable bed. Can't forget about the delicious breakfast they offer. This establishment is worth every penny!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed here for 2 days while my husband was coming for a job interview. I really loved this house and the room we stayed in. Very antique and rustic feel, not like your modern bed and breakfast. The owners were extremely nice and so were their dogs lol They made a nice breakfast every morning with a lot of options. I would def recommend staying here if you ever stop in this town.

Multiple stays, and will continue to frequent this establishment. Joel & Amber (and their two dalmatians) are excellent hosts. As usual, weren't any problems. Great place to stay - comfortable beds, exceptional breakfast, wonderful atmosphere! Highly recommend.

Beautiful place , older home with charm . super clean , warm rooms with private baths . The owners are wonderful hosts and they have 2 loving dogs . Breakfast was wonderful . The area is limited on restaurant choices , but there are a couple .

AWESOME place to stay. Definitely a much see!!! Owners were warm and inviting with two lovely well behaved Dalmatians. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Large breakfast selection with anything you could want and the owner makes a HUGE delicious breakfast dish. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Awesome! Beautiful old home. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The mattress in room 2 was perfect. I haven't slept that well without pain in a long time. Breakfast was very good. The woodwork in this old mansion is incredible. We've found a new stopping point for our cross country travels. Wait until you meet Ava and Bogart, they will greet you at the door and be your best friends. Wonderful place to stay!
