Great location with an ample parking lot. We had 2 rooms in the carriage house and were surprised with how large the rooms were. Able to walk every where with great shopping and many restaurants minutes away. Good value.

The room was immaculate and the staff was very helpful and friendly. One thing to brag about is the breakfast. It was a homemade southern treat! For a b and b built in the 1700's, it is very well taken care of and the rooms are intimate and have great decor.

Just a couple of blocks north of the historical district, the rooms in this B&B were surprisingly large and decorated with charming furniture. They have fireplaces! We enjoyed our jacuzzi tub. Breakfasts were delicious.

We took a short middle of the week get away to Charleston...stayed at the Barksdale House and it was perfect....cozy, comfortable. We parked on Wednesday and never got back to the car until time to leave on Friday...walked to everything. Perfect.

I agree with Tom1925. Though the weekend hot food was excellent and the chef was outgoing and friendly.. I wrote them regarding the housekeeping needs and they responded they would address that with the staff. In regards to the straight backed dining room style chairs in our room they said "I apologize that your room was less than your expectations."... More

Very comfortable B&B. It is on the northern edge of the historic part of the city. Close to Jestine's Kitchen and within walking distance of all the downtown sites. The staff were very helpful when answering my questions regarding my travel plans.

We stayed at the Barksdale House Inn for 2 nights. If you are looking for a room with a great location, this is a good place to stay. Easy walking distance to Charleston Historic District attractions. If you are looking for the hospitality, comfort and good breakfasts of a B&B, this is not the place to stay. Staff sat at... More

Everything else - like the shops on King Street and the Market are a quick walk away. The room was very nice and... More

We just spent 2 nights at the Barksdale House. Our room was quite large, on the first floor and in the front of the building. The location was wonderful as we could walk everywhere & also had free parking. The back porch was very inviting---quiet with lovely greenery and a bubbly fountain. The staff at the desk was not very... More

My husband and I recently stayed at the Barksdale House Inn for 4 days. We were in room 9 on the third floor of the main building and really enjoyed our stay. The positives: 1. Location was amazing. We could walk everywhere we wanted and wished we hadn't rented a car! It's not on a major street which made it... More

What a fantastic review! Thank you so much for being so detailed. I used this review as a tool to make some changes to our property. We are moving the office from the breakfast area to help lessen the discomfort. We are enclosing the porch to help achieve this goal. Also, I have made my staff aware of the areas... More
