Very good location, close to College of Charleston, King shopping street, city market and many restaurants. Walkable distance to many attractions. Service is great, all the staff there are super friendly and welcoming. Order to cook breakfast and afternoon tea time is a highlight. Will definitely recommend to friends and come back again.

Great place to stay.

Our three night stay in the Barksdale House Inn was an enjoyable experience as much for the staff as the Inn itself. Nothing was too much trouble and the included afternoon tea with a glass of wine was much appreciated. The Inn is in an enviable location for all that Charleston has to offer.

We had a wonderful stay at the Barksdale! The staff was so nice and we really enjoyed the breakfast and snacks. The only downside was how damp the property felt. The dampness made the room smell.

Charming with Amazing location

Such a charming place to stay in the historic Charleston district. So close to the tour locations and water for the sunset cruise. Amazing friendly staff and the breakfast was AMAZING! Such a wonderful place. No elevator, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairways.
Wonderful carriage ride through the historic city
Sunset cruise was fun and a great excuse to get out on the water
Favorite little statue in the stair landing area

If you’re looking for something posh or up to date, this is not the place for you. It would be a great property with some TLC. Peeling wallpaper, water stains on ceiling and being able to hear everything in the house made the stay less enjoyable.

Southern hospitality at its finest. I have been to Charleston several times and never knew this house was here. This was by far the nicest bunch of ladies who went of there way to make sure everyone is comfortable.
