Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Old Charleston! Everything was perfect during my 4-night stay, and the staff is attentive and accommodating. I couldn't have picked a better spot in my budget for my first trip to Charleston. I would definitely stay there again!

A hidden gem in Charleston

Our stay was amazing. Located right between Meeting Street and King Street - close to shops, restaurants and Charleston sites and attractions. The house is very rustic amd wonderfully decorated. Our room was clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and their breakfast menu (being "continental" and all) was amazing. I wouldnt call it a continental breakfast at all as you could get anything from grits to belgian waffles, including avacado toast. We would definitely stay at Barksdale again.

A little different from most bed and breakfast inns we’ve stayed at in the past. The facility is primarily beds and baths, more like a hotel. Common areas, of which there are several, are for dining. One is outdoors in a lovely courtyard. We didn’t meet the owners, just staff members who were running the place. Room was great. Breakfast was good, too. Guests order from a menu so there are a variety of choices. Only negative was being charged to park in the facility’s parking area each night of our stay. Seems that could easily be a free courtesy to guests.

Very good location, close to College of Charleston, King shopping street, city market and many restaurants. Walkable distance to many attractions. Service is great, all the staff there are super friendly and welcoming. Order to cook breakfast and afternoon tea time is a highlight. Will definitely recommend to friends and come back again.

Great place to stay.

Our three night stay in the Barksdale House Inn was an enjoyable experience as much for the staff as the Inn itself. Nothing was too much trouble and the included afternoon tea with a glass of wine was much appreciated. The Inn is in an enviable location for all that Charleston has to offer.

Charming with Amazing location

Such a charming place to stay in the historic Charleston district. So close to the tour locations and water for the sunset cruise. Amazing friendly staff and the breakfast was AMAZING! Such a wonderful place. No elevator, so you need to carry your luggage up the stairways.
Wonderful carriage ride through the historic city
Sunset cruise was fun and a great excuse to get out on the water
Favorite little statue in the stair landing area

If you’re looking for something posh or up to date, this is not the place for you. It would be a great property with some TLC. Peeling wallpaper, water stains on ceiling and being able to hear everything in the house made the stay less enjoyable.
