Randy was very kind and helpful, as were Nadra and Gabrial. The continental breakfast was very good--two kinds of coffee (French Roast and Creme Brulee flavored), muffins, pastries, various breads, a large variety of cereal, fresh fruit, and yogurt. more

I was going to Charleston for a June wedding and to celebrate my husbands birthday so I really wanted to make the weekend special. I know June could be a busy time so I made sure to call to book about a month and a half ahead. I chose The Cabell House because the pictures on the website looked great... more

I'd like to offer our apologies again to Danie. I remember so well the incident she is speaking about. It was the first time (and last time) taking a booking from the assistant who had recently been trained. I discovered the reservation unprocessed and under some papers on the desk some time later. She had not checked the reservation book....

This was our first time visiting Charleston and our second Bed and Breakfast experience. We chose to stay at this Bed and Breakfast based on research from Tripadvisor and after speaking with the Owner over the phone. We were confident we had found an Inn that offered a terrific compromise of charm, location and value. Without question our review would... more

From the pictures on the Cabell House website to conversations with Randy prior to our visit we had expected more than what we found. Things did not get off to a good start in that no one was there to let us in when we arrived. Although we took the time to explore Charleston, finding an empty B&B upon arrival... more

My husband and I don't get away very often, so the place we stay has to be just right. We have been staying at B&Bs for the last several trips, so we are beginning to have a feel for what we like. The Cabell House is an almost perfect combination of location, quiet, and class. Located just a couple of... more

My wife and I Ioved the Cabell House. It is a quiet B&B with only 4 rooms. We had the bedroom with a king bed and small bathroom (made from a closet). Although the bathroom was small and the sink was tiny (but we thought it was cute) there was plenty of room. The room was a good size and... more

I traveled to Charleston with a girlfriend and stayed here for two nights - and LOVED it. The house is absolutely gorgeous and the rooms quite spacious. My girlfriend and I joked that we felt like we were on a honeymoon with the beautiful furnishings, balcony and the four poster bed adorned with beautiful linens. The bathroom was clean, and... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 2-night and a 4-night stay at Cabell House in April. Both of our stays were a delightful experience of hospitality, history, and home. I am so fussy and hard to please, this is nearly miraculous. The decor of Cabell House rooms and common areas is what I will call “clean, simple,... more

I had only a few days this school year to take off with my daughter and I chose the Cabell House in South Carolina. What a gracious home and hostess and one who puts you at ease right away! And then when you enter your room you feel like a queen, so elegant and cozy, with grand windows that give... more

The location of the Inn is great, just a few steps to the harbor on a very quiet one way street. We stayed in the Claiborne Room. The room was small and the bathroom was tiny. The sink in the bathroom is extremely small reminding us of an outdoor drinking fountain with little room to even wash your hands. The... more

I do apologize. Guests should certainly be made aware of what the CABELL HOUSE is and what it is not. It is not a Hotel or a Commercial Inn. It is a private family home that was built in the 19th century and that now functions as a bed and breakfast for guests visiting the historic district in Charleston. This...
