It is quite an experience to be able to stay right on the battery, in a historic Charleston home, eating your breakfast on a veranda, watching dolphins in the Charleston Harbor. The owners are very friendly, same for the staff. The breakfast served in the morning is tasty, especially that bacon! There is a nice selection of hot items and... More

Just spent a week in the carriage house. Traveled with my husband, our dog, and another couple. We have been to Charleston many times- both on vacation and on quick trips from NYC to visit our son at the College of Charleston. This was a leisurely visit meant to feel as if we lived in Charleston for the week. And... More

We visited the Palmer Home using a LivingSocial coupon. It was such a great deal, I booked the room before checking it out on tripadvisor--which I NEVER do ! After booking, I started reading the reviews and became very concerned. My husband and I decided to try it because we love Charleston. SO happy we did. It was a wonderful... More

My husband and I stayed in the Carriage House for two nights, clean and had a great view but does need some updating. Breakfast in the morning was delicious, would stay here again with a great deal like we purchased from Living Social.

Meredith....your service was impeccable...Ty for scheduling our pub tour and couples massage. Mrs. Palmer.... you, your staff and four legged babies are wonderful hosts. We absolutely loved the suite....it was beautiful. Wine, cheese, and the breakfast was very good. We enjoyed the cookies and palmer pink lemonade is not to be missed. I highly recommend staying in the Pink Palace... More

Meredith was great and very helpful during our stay, we would definitely like to go back and stay again. Also,... More

Prospective visitors to the Palmer House should be aware that they are paying a premium for location and not for facilities. This property is run down and in need of a complete overhaul. Sadly, I doubt the owners have the kind of wealth required to undertake the scope of work needed and until this property is acquired by a multi-millionaire... More

We stayed at the Palmer Home January 19-21, 2012, for our 25th anniversary. It is a beautiful home with a beautiful view. This was the weekend of the 2012 SC Primary, and the parlor of the home was being used by a cable news network to interview one of the presidential candidates. As a result, we were kept from checking... More

I am sorry that your stay was less than satisfactory. We did indeed have a number of exciting and unplanned events here that occurred that weekend but we did our best to accommodate and include our guests in the house happenings. The Palmer Home was picked by CNN to host an interview between Peirs Morgan and presidential candidate, Rick Santorum.... More
