"Wish we had more time to spend in the Beaufort area. A very lovely Inn & charming town to visit. The staff is very welcoming . Our room was perfect for an overnight....would like one of the larger rooms if we were to stay longer. Breakfast in the morning was delicious.... Fresh, warm Southern biscuits as well as donuts were a hit With a location of the Inn in the historic district, it makes strolling around the town and the waterfront very easy. Look forward to our next visit!"
