Detailed Reviews
The staff was very friendly, helpful, and treated us like family. Carolyn knows how to run this beautiful house and makes you feel right at home. They make sure you have everything you need and that you can contact them if needed, anytime. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, especially in this time of COVID-19. To sit outside on the veranda each night with a glass of wine and relax in the morning with a cup of coffee is an enjoyable beginning and end to the day. The rooms are beautiful and again, anything that you need is taken care of right away. We have been here in previous years and will continue to enjoy coming here in the years to come. Love this place and the staff. Thank you for your hospitality.

I can’t say enough great things about this house. We had an exceptional experience hosting our out of town friends for the weekend here! Renting the entire house was the perfect location to gather as 5 couples while giving everyone their own space! As a lifelong resident of Abbeville, I had not set foot in the home until this trip. It was beyond my expectations. The home was spotless on arrival and the Inn Keeper was prompt and informative. The large kitchen was perfect for preparing large meals for everyone. Nothing was missing that we needed. The covered porches and patio were great for drinking coffee in the mornings and enjoying cocktails in the evening. We will be back!

Our family was blessed to be able to have the entire Caldwell house for the day and night of my daughter’s wedding. It was beautiful, had so many great photo opportunity spots , so many extras within each room and enabled our entire family to wake up together for a lovely hot breakfast ! Carolyn was kind , helpful and easy to work with. It was perfect !

I reserved rooms in the Caldwell House in June of 2021 for my sisters, brother and my self. We were assembling in our old home town to say good bye to an elderly aunt who had recently passed. I explained our situation to our hostess who could not have been kinder and nicer. She recommended us to a local florist who took care of all our floral needs. She was kind and so welcoming...we found out we know some of the same people from fifty years ago! The house has huge, beautiful bedrooms and a long interesting history. I understand they do quite a business for weddings. Miss Caroline's breakfasts were delicious and very nice for our group ahead of busy days with relatives from out of state. I highly recommend this B and B for travelers to the area around Abbeville. If I ever return to Abbeville I would love to stay here.

We loved the beautifully decorated and peaceful Caldwell House. Manager Nicole was a great host and made us wonderful breakfasts, as well as providing lots of information about local sites and the Abbeville area. The Caldwell House was an excellent launching point to explore the area. A highlight was Avery Island. The nearby River Front restaurant was outstanding.

The home is really lovely, we enjoyed how relaxing it felt and our bed was comfortable. The town is cute and we enjoyed the nearby restaurants. The side patio is pleasant and so is sitting in the rockers on the front porch. This would be a great place for a bride to get ready for her wedding and then stay afterward.

I took pictures here. Got ready for my wedding here. I also slept here with my husband before going to our honeymoon. The experience was fantastic. The people was very kind, helpful, and great communicators. The rooms were absolutely gorgeous. I put no decorating at all and my pictures came out fantastic. Everything was extremely clean and beautiful.

We rented rooms at the Caldwell for my daughter's wedding party. It was awesome. There was the main honeymoon suite, the upstairs room and the bride's dressing room. It was so convenient for the girls to get ready there and we were only two minutes from the church! The pictures came out beautiful. Really lovely property.

We recently stayed the weekend at The Caldwell House with our huge family (Grandparents, Siblings, my husband and our kids). It was fantastic! Not only was the bedding comfortable, the space was more than ample, the grounds were beautiful, the home was breathtaking. The photos do not do this place justice! We loved it and didn't want to leave! It was the perfect place for us to spread out, cook meals, gather together, let the kids play, and we can't wait to go back!

I literally cannot recommend this place enough. Not only is the house itself just delightful and beautiful and comfortable, but the staff is incredible and warm and everything you would expect from quintessential southern hospitality. The rooms are each unique and lovely. The beds are comfortable. The breakfast is unforgettably delicious. I want to stay here again when I have nothing on the agenda and can lounge about and read and write and sketch. Thank you Ms. Carolyn and the rest of the staff for another amazing stay at the Caldwell - we will be back!
