Hattie May Inn

This is about as close as I’ve ever come to staying in a traditional and authentic bed and breakfast. The house is lovely and well-​preserved, clean, and nicely decorated with a mix of antiques and modern artwork. Laura greeted me upon my arrival and was extremely hospitable. I met Scott the next day and he was equally friendly. My room, the Americana, was just perfect in terms of size and the bathroom was extremely clean and updated. My room had a sleeping porch attached so I was able to keep my balcony door open all night to catch the cool spring breeze. It might be a little warmer in the summer but there is a window unit in the room. I was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and again, because it was an authentic bed and breakfast, the guests sat together at on big table and were served at the same time. That allowed for some nice conversations with people I would have never met otherwise. The south side of Ft. Worth is developing into a fabulous place for dining. The homes in the neighborhood are in transition but you can see he potential everywhere. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling to act. Worth.

I booked a rather long stay – 4 nights – as an alternative to a downtown conference hotel and boy am I glad that I did! Hattie May offers an opportunity to relax in comfort while keeping a short and equidistant walk north to downtown or south to hipper nightlife spots. That said, the real highlight here is co-​owner Laura’s vegan/​vegetarian breakfasts – the best part of the day, every day. She and husband Scott are a delight to stay with, so I’m sure that I will again when I’m next in Fort Worth.

We were so happy with our stay at the Hattie May Inn. The house, and rooms were beautiful. The owners were so nice. Price was great. Food was delicious. Location was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

This review is for the cooking classes at Hattie May Inn. I can’t tell you how excited i was to learn the cooking classes offered by Laura Slayton are both yummy and healthy (right up my alley)! I have taken a Grains class, a Cruciferous Vegetables class, a Greens class and a «Game Day Eats» class! All classes have three recipes that the class participants make. We chop, we measure, we massage (kale), we stir, we do it all! After the recipes have been prepared, we clear the dining room table, Laura brings a pitcher of Hibiscus tea and we eat our creations! It’s fun, it’s educational, it’s great for newbies or seasoned cooks. I’ve made several of the recipes at home. I’ll definitely be signing up for more classes! This is by far the best setting for cooking classes – a 100+ year old Victorian home – come on, it doesn’t get better than that!

I stayed here with my boyfriend for my birthday, and it was amazing. The house itself has so much history and is like stepping back in time. Laura and Scott are very welcoming and make sure you feel right at home the whole stay. I am a vegan so the breakfast was one of my favorite parts of this place. It is 100% vegan though they made it clear if there was something you didn’t like she would gladly make something else! We had banana sorbet with fresh strawberries, pumpkin banana bread, frittata, and some roasted potatoes with coffee, tea, and orange juice to drink. I am def going back to this place for a future (and longer) vacation! It was within about 10 minutes of the stockyards, the theatre, art gallery/​museum, and the botanical gardens. So even if the food idn’t your thing the location is amazing in itself. I will recommend this place every time.

This review is for cooking class at the Hattie May. (I live in Fort Worth and therefore have not had occasion to stay at the Inn.)
Laura and Scott, the new owners of the Hattie May, are just the nicest people you’d ever care to meet. In addition to owning and operating the Inn, Laura is a holistic nutritionist and chef and offers small group cooking classes at the Inn.
Tonight I attended the first of what I hope will be many classes with Laura. The focus of tonight’s lesson was cruciferous vegetables; we started off with a handout to review the many veggies in the category and all of the important health benefits they provide. It was immediately clear that Laura really knows her stuff! I thought she gave us just the right amount of information to give context to the lesson without getting too bogged down in the science.
Then we dove right in preparing three dishes: a bok choy and apple slaw, steamed broccoli salad, and an arugula mushroom sauté with cauliflower «rice.» I loved how hands on the class was. Laura gave us tips for better knife technique and even sharpened the knives we brought from home. We five students had plenty of opportunities to prepare the different ingredients, and the class moved quickly enough that we were never bored. And then of course we got to eat! All of the food was delicious, and nothing felt too intimidating to replicate at home. Not only did we get a chance to try some familiar ingredients in new ways, but we met some veggies that I wouldn’t have even been able to identify before tonight (hello, daikon).
I would recommend cooking classes at the Hattie May to anyone– of any level of expertise– who is interested in learning more about the power of eating natural, whole, unprocessed foods and how to prepare them in a way that’s both appetizing and healing. I can’t wait to go back for «alternative grains» in a couple weeks!

Thank you to the new owners, Laura and Scott, for sharing this small part of your lives with us. My husband and I don’t normally stay in bed and breakfasts, but we wanted a change from the typical hotel. We felt so special and comfortable when we arrived and Scott brought us a glass of wine in our room.
Neither of us are vegan or vegetarian, but we want to eat better, and were excited to see what nutritionist Laura would prepare for breakfast, and it was delicious.
We recommend the Hattie May Inn to anyone who wants to stay in a warm and comfortable home that’s close to everything you might want to visit in Fort Worth.

Beautiful:)! Great place & close to the convention center. What a gem! My friend loved staying here — plus new owners are super people!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in the Oriental Oasis, which is fairly small, but extremely comfortable. It connects to the original bathroom, which still contains the original claw-​foot tub and a pull-​chain toilet.
Linda, the owner, is extremely friendly and accommodating. I forgot to tell her beforehand that I have a gluten sensitivity, but she still had everything she needed to make me delicious gluten-​free blueberry waffles in the morning.

Linda was one of the nicest and most attentive hosts we have ever had at a B & B; the house was lovely and oh so close to everything. Very quiet and peaceful. Would recommend to anyone.

I’ve stayed there twice with my wife and both times Linda was exceptionally accommodating. She is happy to share the history of the house and people associated with it. I recommend the room at the back of the house with the US flag — it has a little screened porch which is great for lounging. Only problem with the porch is a window from an adjoining room looks out on to it — assuming the guest pushes curtains out of the way. So as long as you stay partially clothed should be OK.

We stay at Hattie May Bed & Breakfast every time we go to Fort Worth. It’s beautiful and comfortable and Linda is wonderful. I notoriously forget things and she’s so sweet and accommodating. The beds are cozy and the bathrooms spotless. It’s our favorite place and we highly recommend it!

Ok this is only my second bed and breakfast so compared to my first, very sketchy B&B — this one IS as good as it gets! The owner reminded me of my own-​everyone-​is-​a-​wonderful-​person kind of person. Super sweet and very obliging. Going at Christmas was great for an elf like me. (What’s your favorite color?) It was decorated so beautifully. The owner gave us a great tour at first which was interesting and neat. Then we hung out to enjoy our wine while we enjoyed some records. .. oh yeah, CHRISTMAS records. :-D
Breakfast was delicious and Linda, the owner, stayed with me because I was kinda late getting down and everyone else got up almost as soon as I sat down because they were done.
I have a secret favorite room but I’m not sure I’ll share it bc I want to get it again sometime! Hint — its NOT the biggest one!

What an amazing bed and breakfast. Wonderful house with interesting rooms and comfortable beds. Everything was decorated and homey. Linda the owner was friendly and sweet. Breakfast was delicious. I couldn’t ask for anything more from a bed and breakfast.
