Charming with Amazing location

Such a charming place to stay in the historic Charleston district. So close to the tour locations and water for the sunset cruise. Amazing friendly staff and the breakfast was AMAZING! Such a wonderful place. No elevator, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairways.
Wonderful carriage ride through the historic city
Sunset cruise was fun and a great excuse to get out on the water
Favorite little statue in the stair landing area

If you’re looking for something posh or up to date, this is not the place for you. It would be a great property with some TLC. Peeling wallpaper, water stains on ceiling and being able to hear everything in the house made the stay less enjoyable.

Cutest Bed and Breakfast

Southern hospitality at its finest. I have been to Charleston several times and never knew this house was here. This was by far the nicest bunch of ladies who went of there way to make sure everyone is comfortable.

Best stay in Charleston

I will recommend this charming Inn to anyone visiting Charleston,. It is at the center of the main streets and walkable to all points of interest. The staff are exceptional. There is a tea time each day with beverages, snack, and wine. Each morning a delicious breakfast is served. It is refreshing to stay at a place in which the parking and breakfast are included.

Room was nicely decorated. In-room spa did not work. A/C controls was shared between two client rooms. Breakfast is ok; saves about $60 per day compared to going out for breakfast! Only two parking space on property and one of those is used by innkeeper. Be careful where you park on the street due to restrictions. Great location for hop-on-hop off trolly.

The property was lovely from the outside and inside. A traditional period house. The staff were very good and welcoming. The issue we had was with our room. None of the windows could open and there was a weird sour smell. The room was clean enough apart from the bathroom and toilet room which were in need of refurbishment. Wallpaper falling down, look to be mould on the roof, the toilet seat was peeling and taps damaged and worn down. You did not want to go in there! It was very disappointing as the main room and rest of the hotel was fine. Breakfast was very good. Good car parking outback
