This is a beautiful historic house and a wonderful B&B that clearly deserves its five star rating. The interior is lovely with crystal chandeliers, and soft music playing in the background. Each room is tastefully decorated with flowered wall paper, fireplaces, four poster beds, etc.

PROS: Excellent location. Easy to find. Walking distance into Historic Charles Town. Yard is filled with huge shade trees and kept very neat and clean. Large front porch for sitting with a cup of coffee or tea after a long day of site-seeing. Breakfast was way beyond the norm. Very elegant and clearly shows the effort of the proprietors...exceptional! (Napkin rings, linen napkins, fruit in martini glasses, china plates, whipped eggs with asparagus tips, blueberry pancakes, freshly baked muffins, juice of you choice, 2 inch thick maple french toast with apple slices.) Coffee and tea in the afternoons with a homemade goodie. Soda, juices and hot/cold water available 24/7 in the second floor hallway. Wine glasses, too. HOT water for showers and plenty of it. Free parking off of the street. Marie and Don are WONDERFUL! They really go the extra mile into assuring that their guests have a 5 star stay!

Robin's Nest: Encompasses the entire third floor. VERY Private. Two rooms in one. Sitting room with day bed on one side of the chimney. Queen size bed, closet and bathroom on the other side. Two dormer and one side window gives you plenty of light. You feel like you are in the trees. Air conditioner works great. Electric fireplace stove will take off a chill. Decor pleasing and kept very clean and tidy.

CONS: Pillows are a bit flat. (in the Robin's Nest)

We have stayed in B&Bs from Alaska to Key West and can truly say that this place was amazing in every aspect. It has to rank as the best in every category.

My husband and I arrived at the Carriage Inn Bed and Breakfast and the owners welcomed us right in with a tour of the house and it's historical background. Our room was very spacious and comfortable and there was a refrigerator right down the hall with all sorts of beverages which I greatly appreciated. The breakfast was excellent and the owners went out of their way to accommodate the schedule and preferences of all guests. One couple was racing cars and had to be at the track very early in the morning. They sent them off with a to-go box! Very gracious hosts, we really enjoyed meeting them and getting to know them. I highly recommend.

My hubby and I love going to bed and breakfast ... Carriage Inn at Charles Town is one of the BEST! Lots of history in this house and the town itself.

The owners were gracious and friendly. The house is well kept. Breakfast is AWESOME!

I would highly recommend.

We arrived at the Carriage Inn after several days visiting Frederick MD, Gettysburg PA and Harpers Ferry WV. We had been immersed in history, visited welcome centers and taken private tours of the battlefields. Imagine our surprise when we learned that we would be sleeping a house that held several generals and important civil war meetings.
The B&B is artfully decorated with period furniture, historical books & history books to read, civil war prints on the walls, and beautiful arrangements of flowers and other memorabilia.
Beyond this wonderful feeling of being in a southern mansion during that time period, the welcoming warmth of the managers made our short stay a special one. From the smile that greeted us at the door, the beautiful room we slept in, and the complimentary tea and soda, to the delicious breakfast, we felt like cherished guests.
