Amazing bathroom with comfy tub and huge shower. The room was comfortable and well appointed. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Everything we needed. Only drawback was proximity to noisy street. This is a self serve establishment. We were provided codes to doors. There is a phone number if you need help, but otherwise there is no contact with staff. We would definitely stay here again.
Really nice historic rooms. Great "Honor" bar for sitting on the veranda. Parking was easy in and out. Nice selection of free TV channels with comfortable furniture to relax.
We stayed for two nights on our way west, one at the beginning of our trip and one at the end. We stayed in two different rooms. Both rooms were great! The honor bar is a great feature. Parking is easy in and out. Would be nice if the bathroom doors would stay shut when closed, but compared to some recent travels, this hotel is priced well, has great large rooms, and was a complete pleasure!
Perfect all around! We loved our room. We loved the honor bar, the coffee, the view of the intracoastal. We were only there for a one night getaway and this was wonderful. We will be back!
Loved this boutique hotel! Beautiful old house, with all the modern amenities. Lovely room with a huge bathroom. A self serve wine bar and coffee bar was a nice touch, The location was great. Highly recommend!
What a cool vibing place to rest while visiting Beaufort! All the excellence of staying in a historic home combined with every creature comfort modern amenities along for the ride! The heart pine floor boards of varying widths creak which only adds to the charm of the stay! A two over two preacher’s house originally means that there are no fancy architectural embellishments, but the soaring ceilings and ample windows remind one of days gone by. I loved the honor bar and took my glass of wine to the top porch and sat up above the palmettos…did the same thing in the morning with my coffee from the coffee bar. Lovely place! Lovely stay!
The property was nice, they are still in the
Process of doing the home. A couple of suggestions :
The tv was all streaming, I would add cable.
A Big item; there is mole smell in the house, it affected my Partner. They are trying to eliminate
The mold I don’t believe they will be successful.
I think they are trying. But, I would not stay there again.
I have stayed in Hundreds of places
around the world.

The Dell’s stay
Amazing place to stay. The staff got us in quick made the process extremely simple. The experience of staying in a house that old was out of this world. Highly recommended!!!
Being that I did not fully read the description I guess I should not be dissatisfied that this was not a BnB. It would be nice if bikes were offered to guest to peddle around the town. I would suggest that the bathroom window (Room1) be made more private. Our room and bathroom were beautiful and grandeur. It is a short walk to the historic downtown and we really enjoyed our stay.
