Host not present upon scheduled arrival. No assistance with luggage to third floor. No afternoon libations at all and not even a bottle of water available in our room, let alone flowers or welcoming snack. Nothing special about the room. As we were leaving for dinner, hostess asked if we would prefer coffee or tea for breakfast in the morning. I expressed a preference for decaffinated coffee and her response was "if I have some, I'll put it out" (!) There was no decaf in the morning. At breakfast (fruit and cereal, biscuits and jam), which is only served from 8:30 until 9, she seemed very anxious for us to depart and asked if I had brought my credit card with me to breakfast. No assistance with bringing luggage down from third floor. I was traveling with my 80 year old mother and found this to be a very disappointing experience. I would not recommend them and would certainly not consider staying there again. Next visit to Charleston, I will book the Meeting Street Inn.

Welcome to Charleston. Set your watch back 200 years. We came for the candleight home tour and found our B&B far more charming than anything on the tour. Slight problem checking in as owners were in Europe, Host was owner's son who was not on premises.

House is lovely, and has not been modernized except for bathrooms which may be 1920's. Deep clawfoot bathtub! Location allows for walking to everything, and there was off-street parking. You don't have to close your eyes to imagine yourself in the 18th Century.

Suite was clean and spacious including a fireplace, dressing room and large private bath.

Owner's son was extremely friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was both excellent and elegant. Household companions were a friendly Persian cat and and adorable, loving little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel we were privileged to walk morning and evening (our choice) and who visited our room (again our choice.)

We will most certainly be returning next year.

A fantastic place to stay. The bedroom was huge, comfy, and furnished with an antique sofa, many beautifully carved chairs, and excellent pieces of china and art. Off street parking was available. The bathroom fixtures were antiques and fun to use – a genuine claw-foot tub. The French doors led to a piazza with a lovely view, and you could hear the many fountains in the neighborhood. There is a friendly spaniel and persian cat who will sit with you downstairs. Continental breakfast was an elegant experience. Mrs. Read serves breakfast in the formal dining room on beautiful china and polished silver.

Great location, lovely house but spoilt by owners who do as little as possible for guests.
Advertised in the B&B guide as "gourmet breakfast" which swung it for me. In reality it was merely adequate - 3 strawberries per person, 1 biscuit each, serial, fruit juice and a banana. One morning a bought in applie pie which was microwave heated. This is not Southern hospitality. Guests get a list of rules e.g. switch off all ligths, switch alarm on and off etc.
Our room had a bug infestation and we had to kill them off each day, owner said they were silverfish - clearly the room was not checked before guests arrived as several dozen of these bugs we hanging from the ceiling. When I stood on the bed the get rid of some more I saw 1/2" of dust behind the bed headboard and we had a sliver of glass in the bathroom - clearly this room wasn't vacuumed very often.
