A beautiful, peaceful, pleasant place to stay for a few days,

A lovely antebellum building, beautifully restored, with a lovely garden. It was good to have a room where our group could meet, where there were tea and coffee making facilities, and complementary soft drinks and water. Staff were pleasant and helpful. The situation was beautiful, with easy access to the walk along the shore and wonderfully peaceful.

Charleston charm, attention to detail and wonderful experience.

I loved the history, the beautiful antique pieces, lovely linen and attention to detail. They offer old world charm with a flair of style and modernity. Molly was an excellent host and I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour of the hotel.

Gorgeous house and location

Location beautiful and quiet, though no restaurants nearby - but that’s fine if you’re happy to do a 15 min walk. Loved sitting on the porch for cheese and wine in the evening - all very good quality despite being free. Staff were very helpful and generous. Was a pleasant surprise to find parking in front of the property for free (with a card from reception) but perhaps wouldn’t be possible in the high season. Also was surprised to get breakfast at the property as we thought it was room only - it was more of a snack but if you don’t need a cooked breakfast, all you’d need - and you can have it delivered to your room if you like.

The most amazing experience. The house is exquisite, and the wonder is kind enough to let you wander así if it was your own. Have breakfast in the dining room, read a book in the library, cocktails in the ball room. Impossible not to get the feel of the historic charming south!!’ And the staff is beyond words, friendly and on top of every detail. You couldn’t ask for more. Thank you, thank you!!!!
