Just returned from a three night stay at The Rhett House in
the beautiful historic town of Beaufort, South Carolina. I must
report the most outstanding feature of this exquisite B & B was the
people working there. Both Barbara and Anita were warm, welcoming and accomodating. We drove from NY which we would never do again, however, it was worth the trip once we arrived.
The house is an antebellum mansion located within walking distance of the town which is full of great shops and restaurants.
Loved the small touches, such as cheese and crackers before dinner, desserts in the evening, lemonade and ice tea during the day. The trees surrounding the Inn are magnificent and the house has sprawling verandas and a lovely garden with a fountain.
I highly recommend this B & B and would not hesitate to stay there
again.

My wife and I are residents of Beaufort, but when we need an escape from the everyday, there is no place better than the Rhett House Inn. Prior to moving here we always stayed at the Inn and we have continued the tradition long after becoming residents of the area. The accomodations and service are excellent and relaxing. All within walking distance of downtown food and attractions. Just make sure you save room for late night dessert when you come back to your room!

Spent 2 great nights in Room 5 (Tues / Wedn). Great accommodations; superb staff. They set a high standard for other locations to match. My mother (82 y/o) needed a quiet get-away for a few days --- which is why we chose to visit Beaufort and stay at the Inn. Location of the Inn to the sights is perfect -- and the area is so safe and quiet that Mother and I had no concern about late evening walks to restaurants. Mother's favorite time at the Inn was the dessert and coffee in the kitchen around 8pm. Met some very nice guests ; had great chats with Yvonne. Breakfast was delicious and generous. If you stay in Room 5, one note (not a negative): the stairwell begins AT the doorway---which can be tricky for a "seasoned" citizen. Not a real problem so long as I reminded Mother to watch her step. Again, this is not a negative comment, just a point of information to anyone who might have mobility issues. All-in-all a great experience. I will definitely return.

A perfect overnight stay in every respect. It began with a phone call to let the host know we would be arriving later than expected due to a traffic tie-up on the interstate. She was very understanding and helpful. Upon arrival we were graciously met and showed to our room. A number of local restaurants were recommended within walking distance, and each would have been great. The inn offers home made desserts with coffee or tea for evening enjoyment, and they were excellent. The room was flawless. Every amenity imaginable was at hand. Breakfast was superb. In fact it was better than some we have had experienced in 5-star hotels. We would rate this as one of our top 5 stays we've had in 23 years of traveling to different inns, historic hotels, and B and Bs throughout the eastern US. It was our first trip to Beaufort, and we will definitely go back and stay longer.
