The breakfast and staff were amazing. What I didn’t like was booking a room (with pictures of room )inside the hotel and receiving a totally different room in the back annex that was not in the main.

Absolutely loved this place! The breakfast was delicious and made to order every morning. The staff memeber who took our breakfast order was super nice. The location of the property was perfect. So close to everything. There were always snacks available and coffee and tea all day. Our room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful with our questions. I enjoyed our stay here so much that I booked it again for October as soon as we left! Looking forward to our next stay!!

3 night stay in this lovely B&B, location is fantastic, just half a block off Kings St. very walkable to all the sights. Originally only booked 2 nights but decided to go a day earlier so the first night was in a different room, both rooms were in the carriage house so we only had to move across the hall. Rooms were both lovely, very clean with comfortable beds. The breakfast was served in the main house in the sun room (porch) Freshly cooked and served by an Ex pat with a very northern accent, despite being from up north! she made us feel vey at home, we had the room in stitches with our conversations about food and the differences between the UK and the US

This is a lovely old historic home that has been converted into a B&B type place. The Breakfast is great! Made to order! And you get a lot of personal touches staying here (the women who run the place remember you, etc.) It is in a great location - easily walkable to main sights, restaurants, etc. But it is on a side street so it is quieter than being on a main street which is very nice. Plus there is parking in the back of the Inn which is convenient. Really enjoyed my stay & I would stay here again!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
My wife and I had two issues with the room. The bathroom sink was clogged and the sofa in the room was broken. Neither was taken care of during our two night stay. On the positive side, the breakfast was very good the one morning. We had an early flight so missed the second morning breakfast. We did ask for a partial refund for the two issues. The response we received basically made up an excuse for not giving us a refund. Expedia said the same thing that they could not. It sounded like they both know how to blame each other and both avoid giving you any refunds. I will be in Charlestown soon but will not be staying at this place or booking through expedia.

Wonderful location in the heart of Charleston. We came without a car and were able to walk everywhere. The house has so much character and has been tastefully decorated in line with its history. Breakfast was great and the complimentary snacks are a nice touch. As others have said, the bathroom was the only disappointment. It could do with an upgrade. But otherwise, this property is wonderful!

Big rooms, comfortable beds. Great location. Front door had street trash in areas that never was picked up and the flower pits going up had no plants or dying plants. Not a great street impression. In the back there was a broken light fixture that had been there awhile.

We enjoyed the staff, the gourmet breakfast and the room. The breakfast host was delightful. The buildings were historic and beautiful. The location was convenient to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. One negative is the bathroom was a little beat up - the towel bars were hanging out of the wall, the shower tile was cracked as was the pedestal sink.
