    Charleston’s Battery Carriage House has a lovely atmosphere and fantastic staff who made us feel very welcome. Although the breakfast was just continental and the bathrooms small, the charm and location are undeniable, and I appreciated their attention to detail during our stay.

    historic charm
    evening wine
    peaceful atmosphere
    shower quirks
    unfinished details

    The stay at 20 South Battery was lovely. The beautiful decor and historic charm captivated me right away. I enjoyed the serene garden, perfect for sipping coffee in the morning. The staff made a noticeable effort to ensure my comfort. They were attentive and helpful throughout my stay. However, the room had some quirks. The shower controls needed improvement. it took some effort to operate without getting splashed with cold water. Also, I noticed painter's tape left on fixtures that should have been finished. These little details could use some attention. Nonetheless, the peaceful atmosphere and the evening wine and cheese were highlights. Dining was good, but I expected a more traditional breakfast experience instead of the bakery-sourced options. Overall, very enjoyable with a few hiccups.

    historic atmosphere
    beautiful balconies
    limited snack options

    Staying at the Battery was amazing! We loved exploring the historic sites nearby, especially the atmosphere on the streets. It felt like stepping back in time. My cousin and I enjoyed the beautiful balconies overlooking the charming gardens, truly a serene retreat.

    My kids wished there were more snack options available.

    limited breakfast options

    We loved the cozy feel of the room and enjoyed the delightful cheese and wine reception on the porch. The beautiful garden and relaxing atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. However, the breakfast options were a bit limited, but it didn't take away from our fantastic experience. 😊

    delicious breakfast
    beautiful terrace
    limited kids menu

    The breakfast spread was delightful! We enjoyed fresh fruits and fluffy croissants every morning on the terrace surrounded by beautiful flowers. Staying here with my husband was a treat, especially with the lovely southern charm in our deluxe suite.

    In my wife’s opinion, a kid-friendly menu would be great.

    historic charm
    beautiful gardens
    tight quarters

    The aesthetics of the place shine through with its historic charm, featuring beautiful gardens that add to the overall ambiance. The room had the advantage of a private entrance, allowing for a bit more independence during the stay.

    The breakfast setup felt like it missed the mark, with delivery lacking the presentation suggested online and served in a less-than-ideal lobby area. Room sizes were notably compact, making it a bit cramped at times, and the outdated decor left a lot to be desired, giving the impression of neglect rather than elegance.

    Charming mansion, outstanding service, the welcoming staff, especially Abby the manager and Molly the concierge, make your stay memorable with their exceptional hospitality and delightful wine and cheese reception that allows for a relaxing evening overlooking the park, and it's conveniently located only 25 km from the nearest airport.

    gorgeous decor
    warm atmosphere
    heavenly burgers
    painter's tape
    shower antics

    Talk about heavenly burgers at Poogan's Porch and epic dishes at Husk! Plus, the gorgeous decor and warm atmosphere at the inn really made us feel at home.

    The Pringle Suite was nice, but that painter's tape and the shower antics gave us a giggle. We admired the effort, even if it was a bit jumbled at times.
