Charming, period house in the center of Beaufort, short interesting walks to everything. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, I really enjoyed, all freshly cooked. One tip, our room at night was really noisy, we assumed it was the air conditioning, after a few hours of sleeplessness, I tried to reset the air con, but that was not the problem, it was the humidifier. Turned it off and had a good nights sleep in my beautiful now peaceful room. Great place to stay.

Very central location on a street with lots of historic sites (and 2 blocks from the main shopping area). The tea service, evening charcuterie, and baked goods was great. Nice lounge where you can have a heavy pour of wine. I wish the rooms were a little more updated and cleaner. Our bathroom door was falling off.

It is a beautiful well maintained old property in a lovely setting. The only negative was a bizarre women at the front desk who was rude to the guests. It was actually a topic of conversation between the guests. She tried to shame me for booking through a third party, Expedia, on check in. We did mention it to management and hopefully the problem has been addressed because it really is a charming old house in a very quaint and beautiful neighborhood, and the rest of the staff are fantastic.

We'd definitely want to come here again. We were 2 couples and had the pleasure of staying in rooms 19 & 20. I thought that the room rate was a bit much but we were committed to visiting Beaufort. We were thrilled that our room rate included the entire 2 bedroom cottage which included kithcen, living room, dining room and screened in porch. We absolutely loved it.
