After our 2hr drive, it was a welcomed respite! Our stay was mid-week, so it was lovely to have a quiet stay in the first floor two room suite. We enjoyed excellent wine and jazz playing softly in the background. John made thee BEST pancakes I've EVER had. Our family felt welcome and at home. Would absolutely recommend & return again!

A Most Pleasant Stay at the Charles Bass House

We were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the Charles Bass House was. John, the host, was extremely gracious and handled our minimal food allergies with ease. We had what was probably the best breakfast of our vacation. We recommend staying here and if we find ourselves even remotely in the South Boston area again, we would not hesitate to return. Highly recommended!

John was the consummate host in this lovely BNB. We had more than plenty of room to move around. The location was just close enough to get to a handful of restaurants and shops with a quick drive but the neighborhood was also walkable and quiet at night. John gave us plenty of good ideas for a day trip and nearby sights.

John, the owner, is a most excellent host. He was extremely nice, friendly, helpful and a good cook! The place was stocked with everything you could possibly want, food, beverages, towels, flatware, dishes, glasses, etc. The large, private jacuzzi was great! The home is the quintessential elegant, southern mansion built around 1900.

This is a warm, comfy very personal BNB. John, the owner, lives onsite. He provides for everything including early check in or late out check out if it is at all possible. The bed is comfortable and the downstairs accommodation is like having your own house. The breakfast was delicious and perfectly timed. All in all, I highly recommend this beautiful place.

Hands down best stay in South Boston area. John is a spectacular host, we felt right at home as soon as we stepped out of the car. Breakfast was over the top and was even made meticulously around my many food allergies....I need the recipe for our quiche! We are definitely returning!

Exceptional B&B

We can attest to the fact that the many positive reviews of this enchanting B&B are accurate. We had a truly exceptional experience in the skillful and gracious care of our host John. Charles Bass House is a lovely home, and John epitomizes the southern gentleman. The home was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and most inviting. John treated us like royalty. He made us feel so welcome and at home. The breakfasts were impressive and served with great style. Honestly, we cannot say enough about what a lovely experience we had. We were very sad to leave and hope to have the opportunity to stay with John again.
