Vidalia hotels

We booked this hotel having read other people's positive reviews and it didn't disappoint. When we arrived we were assigned a room at the front of the hotel but asked if we could change it to a river view one. Not a problem! We could have spent all day watching the river traffic. The room was spotlessly clean and spacious. We had a meal in the restaurant on our first night which, while not brilliant, was perfectly acceptable. The best part of our stay was sitting on the patio next to the river. Sadly it loses the sun quite early. The only downside to staying here is that there is nowhere to walk to except along the river pathway. You can only reach Natchez by driving as it is on the other side of the river with no pedestrian access over the bridge. Having said that, it was about a 3 minute drive, with plenty of free parking in the town. Apart from the antebellum houses there isn't much to see in the town, but about 30 minutes out of town is the Frogmore Cotton Plantation, well worth a visit. We were there over 2 hours learning about how cotton was produced during slave time and how it is now carried out. Just a note - there are no refreshments available at any of these places. I can't help but feel they are missing a trick here.
