Wonderful stay at this Bed and Breakfast. Our room was spacious and decorated nicely. The ballroom is very nice and includes some history of the house. The afternoon tea served in the ballroom is a nice treat. The patio in the back is also very nice with tables and umbrellas. We appreciated the ice cold water bottles everyday! Breakfast served in our room was delicious - I tried mango chutney for the first time - yummy! If it wasn’t for the heat, I would have loved to sit on the patio in back. We also enjoyed the location - quiet, but a short walk to everything we wanted to do.

A Must Stay in Charleston

Had an amazing experience. Would highly recommend. Great location right in the heart of the historic dsitrict. Staying here is a destination by itself. Will definitely come back next time. The service is so personalized and friendly and has an old world charm that is so rare in these times.

Quiet location providing easy walking to most of the historic and museum sites as well as restaurants aplenty. Charleston provides a downtown area shuttle (DASH) if walking is an issue. Good included breakfast with many options. Friendly staff. The accommodations are not opulent but they're comfortable and enjoyable. The draw is the history of the building and the area. The other guests were all friendly. No one was there with a "one percenter attitude."

We loved our stay. Its was our first family trip only ladies. Nicky welcomed us in. Such a friendly & family environment. Also Gabby, Maurice kitchen staff, and cleaning staff too.

Especially the Jacuzzi we had a blast .. we loved everything from 116 John R. We can't wait to return. Quiet place.

If I had to choose one word to describe my stay here, it would be phenomenal! From the moment I walked into this amazing, beautiful, historic home, I was greeted with joy by the staff, especially Nicole, who went above and beyond to make my stay delightful. The service was impeccable, with incredible breakfasts, Maria, the chef, made the best poached eggs I’ve ever had. The turn-down service and housekeeping were top-notch, room was spotless and dust free. Tea Time was also amazing, and they wonderfully accommodated my gluten-free needs, making the experience even more special. A special touch was the nightcap waiting for me upon my return in the evening, featuring amazing brandy, port, and sherry. The location is perfect for exploring the best points of interest in historic Charleston, all within walking distance. This has been the most exceptional experience I’ve ever had.
