    Our room was in the very bottom floor . It’s an older remodeled very clean building. But it smelled like being in an old basement. It had a bad musty smell

    The grounds were beautiful

    Horseback riding needed to have been set up weeks in advance… but I didn’t know it was an offering..

    It was beautiful and well kept with historical significance. The Breakfast was far better than anticipated and the cocktail hour was a great experience.

    There wasn’t a part about the property I didn’t like. Just bring bug spray, especially if you go out in the afternoon for a stroll in the garden!

    The property has beautiful scenery and is quiet. Perfect for anyone who is looking for a peaceful get away. The restaurant on the grounds was great with more beautiful views, especially if you walk over through the gardens.

    Expensive, but reasonable if taking the included tours.

    Comfortable, included several tours at Middleton (not the house tour), friendly staff, great breakfast. Free cheese and crackers late afternoon, and sherry nightcap with cookies.

    The only thing I had trouble with was the lowness of the bed. I am a large man, 6'7", and for me the bed was much too close to the floor. Other than that, we were very happy with our room! We WILL be back!

    We LOVED the room! The view, the windows, the warmth of the wood, and even the wooden chairs were comfortable! We fell in love with the shower. (So much so that we are considering remodeling one of our bathrooms to incorporate a similar shower.) I also like that you used local suppliers like the Steep branded soap, shampoo, & lotions, and youir own private label coffee. The breakfast room was beautifully set up, and the food was great. We also ate a couple of meals at the Middleton Place Restaurant next door. Their food was AMAZING, as was the views from inside the restaurant!

    It's hard to imagine what could have been better.

    Breakfast was wonderful, in a spacious room, tablecloths on the tables, a variety of hot breakfast foods, pastries and breads. And a choice to sit indoors or on the outdoor deck surrounded by woods. The rooms are beautiful designed with large wooden interior shutters on two sides, offering views over the lawn to the river. To get from the Inn to the Estate or restaurant, you don't need to drive out to the highway; there is a walking path along the river. The path is very nice during the day and just lovely when it's lit in the evening. And in the evening, at the Lodge (a common room with games, a bar and Adirondack chairs) you can enjoy the sunset over the river.

    There aren’t additional dining options aside from the provided breakfast and one restaurant. We found it difficult to find good local dining on the days when the onsite restaurant was closed.

    It was a beautiful location. The rooms were unique and very clean. It was quiet, peaceful and relaxing!

    So why haven't I given it a 10. Well...we sent them 5 emails prior to arrival and only one was answered (the 4th one) and that was to ask us questions that were answered in the first email. Also although the towels were changed in our room the bed wasn't made. A shame because the inn probably deserves an 11 or 12.

    This is a fabulous place to stay. The opportunity to walk around the magnificent grounds of Middleton Place after the tourists had left was an unexpected treat; as was having to step round alligators on the paths (don't worry mostly they're only 3 to 4 foot long). The inn is an interesting design and the rooms were comfortable and spacious. Particularly liked the inn offering a free nightcap option and cheese and biscuits during happy hour. Also Lucas made us a mean Hot Chocolate!. The restaurant has a good menu and is recommended. Don't let the fact that it is a 30 minute drive from Charleston stop you from booking; it's a lot cheaper than a similar grade city centre hotel - and they don't have alligators on the lawn.
