It is a beautiful old place, we had a room in the main building - lovely. It is located right in town so walks to restaurants and shopping and a great restored house and museum. Free parking and so walkable - great! Even has passes for the local state park.

Excellent location in downtown Beaufort; easy parking; first-rate service from staff. One block walk from restaurants and shops; two blocks from the waterfront. Would definitely go back (in fact, we did!)

We love to stay at this inn as a home base for us to continue to explore the Lowcountry. It is walking distance to the waterfront and many great restaurants and coffee shops. We have stayed in various rooms and cottages over the years, and have enjoyed them all, but the Caretaker's Cottage is our favorite, and is especially nice if you are traveling with more than two people. We also used the bikes that the inn provides for guests and we rode over to the Spanish Moss Trail and down to Port Royal and back. Everyone at the Beaufort Inn is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We will return!

This was our second stay at the Beaufort Inn. We were greeted with enthusiasm by our hostess and given a tour of the layout of the inn property, most importantly to find the ice maker. Our room was spotless upon arrival. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoy the proximity of the inn to the many historical properties of Beaufort.

the Beaufort Inn is a beautiful Victorian home circa 1871, a block off of Bay St. It's within walking distance of everything downtown. the shops, restaurants, waterfront, marina, and the old Historic point. It has also acquired several properties adjacent to the main home. We stayed in the Port Republic Cottage, which was spacious, luxuriant, and private. Parking is a block away in the "overnight lot" (I did not like that), but the metered parking right outside the front door is free after 8 pm ( was vacant after that time) and until 11:00 am. We took advantage of that. I loved every minute of our stay. the only thing I would change is there are no microwaves in most of the accommodations, so no way to heat up leftovers from the wonderful restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly and gracious. Andy checked us in and I immediately felt like he was an old friend. He took us on a tour of the property and pointed out points of interest while escorting us to our cottage. Breakfast vouchers were provided for a bagel shop and another restaurant next to that. We had sandwiches from the bagel shop both mornings and they were wonderful.…

Great place. Rooms very clean and spacious. Staff was extremely nice. Rockers on the front porch. Only problem the room upstairs was either very loud or no insulation between ceiling and floor. We will definitely go back.

Lovely place to stay in downtown Beaufort! The staff is friendly and will do whatever they can to make sure you enjoy your stay. The Inn is actually comprised of a few different buildings and cottages with pretty lights and outdoor lounging furniture between the buildings that I'm sure are used during the warmer months. Our king room was spacious with a nice balcony. We were also given a pass by the front desk to go visit Hunting Island. The only surprises were that the free breakfast is actually a voucher you are given for money off at one of two places a short walk from the INN. Also there is not daily cleaning service, but that was not a issue for us and when we asked for more towels they were brought to our room immediately. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Beaufort!…

The high points are the location and charm of staying in a historic property. We stayed in a 2nd floor room in the front of main house. The side porch, connected to our room, was closed and looked to be ready for a renovation - paint and furnishings. Our room was nicely furnished but just a bit tired especially trim and tile work that is in need of a refresh. HVAC mechanical systems were outside our room and noticably loud. The included breakfast is off-site.. vouchers to one of two nearby establishments.
