The rooms were a little dated but the atmososphere was great. The televisions are very outdated as well the channel selection. The property was great. The gardens although to early to be in bloom were awesome. Unfortunatley we were there on a weekend when the old Middleton PLace was closed for renevations. The inn is just minutes from Charleston ans attractions. if you want to walk back thru time this is a nice weekend retreat

I read a few of the other reviews and it is interesting to see different thoughts. They are pretty up front about the rustic setting. Its true that the rooms could use a little updating, but we never turned on the TV. There was so much to see, we spent most of our time outdoors, even in January. It is the most beautiful setting you could ask for. With full access to the Plantation any time of day and a good breakfast we felt the price was worth it. If you like building a fire in your own room, this is great. Bath salts are provided for the huge tub and the hot water never ran low. The tub tiles are white and the grout is black, not moldy. I'm pretty picky in that area and we enjoyed soaking in the tub. The staff was friendly and always helpful.we did a nature walk and the house tour. The guides were so nice and many are volunteers. My husband and I both agreed that it was the most relaxing weekend we could have had. Thank you Middleton Place!

Despite the rooms themselves needing a bit of an update in certain small areas (bathroom mirrors, televisions, wifi), this is truly an amazing complex. Situated perfectly on the Ashley, the location is close enough to the historic district to allow for all of the touristy activites down there, and far enough away to give one a sense of what it used to be like in the Old South. The access to the plantation and gardens that is included with the reservation is a great perk. The rooms are very interesting, with shutters that can be opened to give a floor-to-ceiling view of the Ashley, as well as absolutely huge modern bathrooms. For a first time Charleston visitor, I would recommend a few days in the historic district as well as a couple of days here. Our only complaints were that service could have been better at the morning breakfasts and their could have been better signage indicating directions to the various points of interest around the hotel complex (where breakfast was, path to the gardens, stables, etc.).

This is the most amazing place. My wife and I enjoyed 2 nights here, the most relaxing time we have had in years. The inn itself is a modernist architectural treasure and the grounds are magnificent.

Don't plan on 5 star accommodations, this place is not pretentious. It is simple, comfortable, easy going and so much fun. The design of the place is minimal, furnishings are geared to simplicity and comfort. Our room had a fireplace, the largest tub I have ever seen, and large bathroom. Breakfast was great and included real food, like bacon, eggs and sausage.

We opted for a package that included full access to Middleton Place including the historic house and gardens. The place is stunning, flowers everywhere and endless pathways. The formal gardens and wooded trails make you a part of the history of this historic home and its owner, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Rice fields, ponds, waterfowl and alligators compliment the formal gardens. Bicycles are available at the Inn, I explored the trails for hours.

The restaurant at Middleton Place is great, food is available at the Inn and at the Garden Shop. We did not leave for 2 days.

I highly recommend Middleton Inn, plan to relax and enjoy. Best weekend we have had in years.
