The English Merchant's Inn

A charming and comfortable place to stay as a family, we were in Waxahachie for our son's wedding. The owner is very attentive to your needs. The beds are great and the bathrooms spacious. We stayed on the second floor with other family members and enjoyed having coffee, tea and breakfast together each morning. We plan to return for a weekend to just enjoy the Waxahachie downtown area.

This B&B run by a truly friendly guy, a retired attorney from Dallas. Took the time to explain our room and the B&B to us along with some interesting background stories. However! During the night I froze. Someone had the thermostat down so cold I couldn’t sleep. I don’t suffer from hot flashes and I’m disappointed there are those who are so insensitive to normal people. I have no desire to return here. Skip Parker. Richardson, TX.

Had a wonderful experience at the English Merchant's Inn. The best way I would describe the in is "curated" - it is so beautifully decorated, with interesting furniture and decor that was a feast for the eyes, while still relaxing and comfortable. Warmly welcomed by the host, everything we needed for a great stay was at hand. Nice location in a quiet part of town, close to the center with restaurants and shops. There is quite a lot to see and explore in town. Highly recommend sitting on the porch at sunset soaking up the small town charm.

we stayed in the "cottage" not the main houses this review is about the cottage. The cottage is at the back of the house, was the housekeepers abode. The building has cracks in the walls, paint peeling in the bath.Whoever painted did not mask the hardware making a mess. The walkway to the house passes a building that needs painting, the gutters have not been cleaned, so plants are growing out of them.The main house may be fine and seems to be much better maintained. My recommendation is avoid the cottage. The main house is interesting to see.

Beautiful property, comfortable bed, fabulous tub, wonderful balcony on Main Street, helpful and attentive host, eclectic decor, bountiful tea and coffee, happy and friendly fellow guests, perfect stay!

10 out of 5. Amazingly comfortable room. Huge bed and the wife loved the claw foot tub. The host ,Howard, was great! He gave us a tour and helped us get settled, even introduced us to other patrons. We had a balcony and a large room, and the best bathroom. We will be back!

My husband's nephew and wife recommended I stay at their friends families' bed and breakfast in a historic home on Main Street. What a blast. It is quite eloquent and quiet with more amenities than you would ever expect. The Baskins are a precious couple that really care to please and meet all your needs. They know the town well.Breakfast is the time of one's personal choice. You pick one of three local,close coffee houses and let them know when you order that you are staying at the EMI. You don't need a ticket or pass. You can order whatever breakfast you like. I ate at White Rhino and Market Fresh and both were fast and friendly with great food. I stayed in room 2 on the second floor. I loved having my own private balcony with a cup of hot tea. I enjoyed all the old magazines about Princess Dianna and the old fashioned tub was super comfy. I think you owe it to yourself to check out Waxahache while staying at EMI. Thank you Mary and Howard! I'll be back🥰

The historic home is beautiful and decorated with something fabulous in each corner. The accomodations were comfortable and the inn keepers kind. The bathroom of the room I stayed in was huge and offered both a tub and a shower. The location is close to the historic downtown and offered off-street parking. Breakfast was not served in the house but instead had to be selected from visiting one of three restaurants in town. My choice (I address in the cafe's review) left much to be desired but I won't hold that against the Inn. I would however, recommend a good vacuuming behind and under the bed. There were inches of dust collected in both locations.
