excellent location, our room was in the annex, next door was very loud music, when we asked about it staff was not interested, simply stated thay could not control their neighbours and they never received a complaint about it, later we found out it was a arobics class in the next door gym, a couple of meters next to our...

This was our first stay in a Bed and Breakfast and we enjoyed it very much. Checking in and out was very quick and easy. The location was great. The price was very reasonable. The weekday breakfast was could have had more variety and some of the decor could use some freshening up (painting, etc), but overall we were very... More

The staff upon arrival seemed uninformed about the Inn and area. We were handed brochures when we asked about recommendations. We had Room #4. It is pictured on their advertisement card. Bathroom floor had hair and dirty! On the second day discovery of mouse droppings on window sills! Sink plugged and toilet periodically ran. We finally turned on the fan... More

All the rooms look great but room 1 is on the first floor with a bay window, lots of natural light and very spaceous. Wonderful service... More

The room was large and beautifully decorated... More

The Barksdale house was quite a nice find. Located close to the free bus route that circles around Charleston. You can catch the bus going uptown on Meeting Street or going downtown on King Street, all within a block. We stayed in Room 1, which was a little noisy in the early evening, but otherwise VERY comfortable. The Jacuzzi/ Shower... More

The title says it all. Perfect location for access to CofC campus and downtown attractions. The price, especially considering the central location, was outstanding. These elements combined with the service and helpfulness of the staff will lead me to check with Barksdale House first for all my future visits. More

If you are looking for a bed and breakfast in the center of the lower peninsula of Charleston, the Barksdale is it. My room was enormous. Comfortable bed. One block from King and two from Calhoun, on the campus, across the street from the PE school. Very clean. Very friendly and helpful personnel. If you need anything, just ask. Very... More
