Such a charming, historic building in touching distance of bustling King Street (the most central spot for exploring the city) — but without any noise! The staff are SO sweet. Our room was ready at midday instead of 3pm on our day of arrival, and when we arrived back after exploring a museum the staff had taken our very heavy suitcases up the stairs to our room! Particularly liked the complimentary breakfast included, which included waffles, avo on toast & a breakfast sandwich.

Some parts of the property need some TLC. Whilst I liked our room, the bathroom ceiling paint was heavily peeling from poor ventilation.

The Inn was fabulous and in character with the city. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. Fresh fruit, cakes and snacks were available free of charge and cans of drink were available for a small fee. Fresh water was also provided both in the hall area and on the floor we were staying and we were able to make a cup of tea/ coffee throughout the day, which was great. The location was central for sightseeing, restaurants and shopping. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Overall our stay was really enjoyable and would definitely visit again.

We liked everything so nothing to comment on.

The breakfast was superb and the staff are absolutely wonderful. The afternoon tea was very welcome, too, and to have coffee ( and snacks ) available 24/7 is a very rare and wonderful commodity. The staff make this place. It’s conveniently located and safe to walk down to the waterfront and back. We didn’t use the car so the parking was a bonus.

The bathroom has probably seen better days and could do with much better lighting, but it was clean and the water was hot. We were in the Carriage House and the floors above creak, not ideal when the occupants are apparently walking around in circles for hours at night! But that is a very, very minor thing compared with how lovely the house is.

We loved staying here. The location was phenomenal, right in the middle of old downtown Charleston. We could walk everywhere. The parking was wonderful and our vehicle was safely parked in the large lot behind the house the whole time we visited Charleston. There was a charge for parking but if you compare that charge to other parking garages, it was well worth the small charge. We stayed in room 14 in the Carriage house behind the main house. This room is located on the first floor and was large and roomy. The bed was comfortable and there was a small frig in the room plus a safe for valuables. There was coffee and tea available just outside the room, in the hallway - very convenient. The shower was fine and the water was hot, although it took just a few minutes for the water to heat up. The room was furnished with a queen bed, a wardrobe with drawers and a hanging space, several chairs and small tables, a TV. Toiletries were available plus a hairdryer. The room has it's own mini split unit so the temperature of the space could be controlled by us. The free breakfast was wonderful also and beautifully served in the main house in several rooms in the main house including a sunroom. There is a beautiful patio garden out back and the house offers a free teatime which included little sandwiches, cookies, small cakes, granola bars, drinks and a free glass of wine for each visitor. An amazing amenity. This place was made for people who love old houses with their charming details. It was built in the late 1700s and has high ceilings. The bathrooms were obviously added later and ours was smaller but very serviceable and had a tub.

Just a few suggestions: add a floor lamp in the room near the TV. It was just a bit dark back there. Re-do the towel racks and this time, hit the studs so that the racks are firmly secured. Perhaps add another small shelf or table in the bathroom so that items could be placed on it. But these were very minor things and we will be returning to the Barksdale House !

Location SO central, parking close, safe, and affordable on site. We stayed in the carriage house and it was clean, well air conditioned, and bed comfy. Coffee available in main house and carriage house all hours and little snacks available all the time as well. Full service breakfast that accommodated our celiac/gluten free needs graciously and competently. We checked in late and out early and they made sure we had everything we needed related to that.

The bathroom tile/grout could use a refresh, but it's a cool old house B&B, and it was clean!

I loved the quaint atmosphere of the inn! The location is super convenient. Once we parked our car, we mostly walked everywhere. We did use one of the biker/rickshaw once to get back after shopping at the market. The morning waitress with the beautiful accent was amazing! I'm sorry I don't remember her name. She was so friendly and bubbly in the mornings! Our breakfast was always delicious. The fruit was fresh, the dishes were darling, and the food was high quality. I expected typical hotel waffles but these were a step above! Tea time (wine time) was a wonderful touch! I loved how there was always coffee, water, and snacks out for guests to enjoy. I plan on coming back with my mom and sister later this year. We were sad to have to leave a day early due to a family illness. We will definitely be back!

Nothing. I accidentally reserved a room with two beds instead of one large bed, but that's on me!

Excellent breakfast. Ordered from a menu with many choices. Very well prepared and tasty. Nice sweet breads, cookies in the morning and throughout the day. Fruit and breakfast bars available as was water, coffee and tea. Staff was friendly.

The room was very nice but at night we heard street noise. Also there were floor boards that were loose and one was raised a little which was easy to trip over. Would have liked more help and suggestions with information around the area and not just in the binder. Some of that information was outdated.

Barksdale House Inn staff were phenominal. From credit for a night because our flight was delayed, to friendliness every day, to complimentary snacks and water, to a delicious breakfast, to holding our luggage while we did a tour after checkout, they were accomodating and friendly. Barksdale House Inn accommodations were beautiful! The main house and carriage house are old, 1700's old, so please don't expect modern. But if you want a quaint setting close to the historic district, this is the place to stay! Pricing is very reasonable for location and amenities. We would definitely book again.

Our only issue was that the water pressure was very low for the showers. IF you ever have need to replace toilets, handicap height toilets would be an improvement.

Such a cozy inn with the best staff! I love that the complementary breakfast is made to order, and that it’s offered until 10am for those late sleepers. They have snacks and water out too throughout the day which is nice. Parking on site is a plus, and even though it does cost to park, it’s not nearly the price you’d pay in a lot/parking garage. The location can’t be beat! We were steps away from King Street, and within 1/2 a mile of everything else.

The bed was super comfortable, but there was only 1 pillow per person, so extra pillows would be nice.

Aliah, the receptionist when we arrived, was friendly and very helpful with information. Breakfast was sumptuous, specially made and served and very tasty. The location was one half block away from the free shuttle bus, which saved us some walking in the heat.

We could have done without the TV running in the background during breakfast. Even at low volume it was distracting, and there was no need for it. People who stay in B&B's usually prefer quieter surroundings.
