Our first trip to Charleston and our first visit to a B and B was great. The Barksdale House Inn, is centrally located. We barely moved our car from arrival to departure. All the places we wanted to visit were within walking distance. We stayed in the Main house, room #3. The bed was comfortable, although a bit high off... More

Friendly,informative staff. Really nice decor and excellent breakfast. We stayed in the carriage house,felt very secure,no big problems. Next time want to try second floor main house.I viewed a...

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was adequate, but had a lousy view of the parking lot next door and the parking spaces for the B&B. Our continental breakfast was nice with fresh fruit, cereals, muffins, coffee and tea. The pumpkin jam was awesome. Sherry was available for the guests and I suppose it is always five... More

Thank you for your review. Great tip about the pedicabs, they are a great help! Also, remember that the trolleys are complimentary now and a stop is at each end of the block. I hope to have you as a guest again in the near future! More

My husband and I go to Charleston several times a year and have stayed in several places. We've stayed at the Barksdale several times now and it is by far our favorite. There are fancier places in Charleston, but they'll cost you plenty and won't beat the Barksdale for location and ease of parking. Every room at the inn is... More

Your review is appreciated, as is your repeat business! It sounds as though we achieved our goal of leaving a lasting positive impression with our guests. Having parking on property is definitely a great asset for being right in the historic district! More

We stayed three nights in an upper room in the carriage house. The price was good, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast real food, not the snack that pretends to be a breakfast in other lodgings. Only a short block to the restaurants and shops on King Street. A few blocks further to the old market. 24 hr CVS 2... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Barksdale House Inn for two nights before embarking on a cruise out of Charleston. The B&B was arranged by my boyfriend (and was a complete surprise to me!) but I couldn't have been more delighted. What a lovely place, with a very kind staff. We will absolutely stay with them again the next... More

Reserved on line the week before Christmas. It's an aging structure with a separate building at the far end of their parking lot (where we stayed) bordering a questionable neighborhood. The room was good size but desparately needing up date. The mattress was lumpy..no fridge, one small 15" analog TV placed high on a wardrobe with missing knobs at the... More

It is clear that our property did not meet all of your expectations. I am a little unclear as to why you felt we are located in a questionable area. We are on George Street, which is in the heart of the Historic District. Possibly, it is due to the fact that we are in a commercial/residential area, so the... More

Our room was large and clean. It looked across the adjoining carpark, little did we know as it started to fill up there was a basketball game scheduled for that night. As it was a late game, the noise after the game kept us awake until late. People were shouting and yahooing along the street and in the carpark. I... More

I am very sorry that you were uncomfortable with the proximity to the College of Charleston's Basketball Arena when the ball game let out. We very rarely have a late game, so this usually is not an issue. I hope that the rest of your stay was enjoyable. More
