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.

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.

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🥰
