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.

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

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.

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.

Everything was great. Very friendly staff. Loved walking seeing the animals.

I was contacted after we had checked out and informed that the booking agent did not charge us taxes. So I had to pay $40 to Middleton Hotel while we were on the road headed home. There should have been some sort of communication between the Hotel and the booking agent about what the taxes were and who between the two of them was going to charge me the taxes. And I should have known the total amount due including taxes before I arrived. I would like for someone to reach out to me to explain this at 704-430-2090. Note, this is not a complaint, it's just a suggestion that I would like to have more clarification on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back soon. Thank You.

The setting, gardens,history.

I had information that the restaurant was open- welcome center, their listing. We wanted not to drive anywhere as we were pulling a small camper. When I booked I found out it was closed. No eating place within walking distance. A furnace? behind a door by the exit door of our room was quite loud and ran constantly

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

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.

I love everything about Middleton, the scenery, the little trails, the animals, the history of it and the cute cozy rooms. Staff was exceptional, Lucas the bartender was extremely personable, and Phil(also goes by BC) is sweet as apple pie.

Not one thing

Love the tranquility of the location, walking through the grounds and looking out onto the Ashely River. Room and bathroom are modern and clean.

Noise travels through the walls, this was our second stay and fortunately other guests have not been loud at night.

The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was modern and clean, the gardens are spectacular.

Didn’t like the taste of the water coming from the pipes… very mossy.

Serene, nature, gorgeous, well equipped. Felt like living with hints of the far away last but with modern day amenities. We will be back! Marvelous display of Gods beauty.

Beautiful grounds! Loved the property. Room was amazing. Not fancy, but lovely.

Shower drain was slow to drain. This is the only issue we had and it was minor.
