One of the Best!

We were in town for a family wedding and the John Rutledge house was an oasis of calm during a hectic weekend. Our room was spacious, daily tea and sherry in the ballroom was a treat, and breakfast was fantastic. This is one of the best Inns/B&B's we've stayed in. You really had the best of both worlds--the feeling of being in an historic home, yet having all of the modern conveniences. I also can't say enough about the staff, especially [...] and [...].

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Saturday Brunch at Poogan's Porch was great. Started off with 1/2 price Mimosas, then moved on to terrific food. The biscuits were the best we had on the trip, the buttermilk fried chicken was very unusual but fantastic, the she-crab soup was also very good, as was the crabcake Benedict. Our group of 6 had planned on ordering Poogan's famous bread pudding, but we were all too stuffed! Reservations are a good idea.
