"I wish we could have stayed longer. Love that we were able to do laundry, although I do wish the water slide was open. My grandchildren would have loved it. We got a villa/suite facing the water park/pool area so my elderly mother could take pictures. 4 generations, what a blessing."
"Our room was on the 2nd Floor with no elevator, but we made it (age 70+) with our luggage with relative ease. Parking was free and easy. The room was well appointed, clean and cool (during an extreme heat wave). The location is walking distance from shopping, restaurants and the waterfront. Kristen and all of the other staff were pleasant and engaging! We’ve stayed at several other Beaufort hotels but this may be our new favorite!"
"I would stay here again and again. I love the ambiance and charm of the historic home which still shines through along side the luxurious updates in the beautiful bathroom, soft rugs, comfy bed. They have thought of everything and provided a beautiful space to enjoy it in. Games, toiletries, coffee, water, an honor wine bar upstairs. I cannot wait to go back. Full review with video coming to my tiktok @joykapp later today.
I also recommend Old Bull for dinner if you go into town! Friendly...
