Everything was lovely. The staff were so friendly and hospitable. The breakfast was great and more than we expected.
The area is a phenomenal area and the Carta buses so convenient.
We would definitely stay here again.
Good location that’s the most positive about the property. Very overpriced for the conditions. Check-in staff was beyond unfriendly. Would not recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Barksdale House Inn. The staff was great. Our room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect - we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We hope to visit Charleston again soon and we will definitely stay at the Barksdale House Inn.
We had a fabulous stay at this B&B. Wonderful customer service, easy walking, great parking and very authentic. The afternoon tea/wine was a wonderful touch. I highly recommend.
The staff are very welcoming, friendly and intentive. It’s a cozy place to stay and it’s right in the heart of Charleston. I would definitely recommend.
