Diane was a delightful host. She met us on the road and made sure we were comfortably settle in our room. The B&B is extremely well situated if you wish to explore Charleston to its historical fullness. The room was decorated in Victorian antiques. The Breakfast was on time and well presented, plus very good. I'm sure If you elect to stay with Diane you will not be disappointed.

Staying at Country Victorian B&B was a wonderful experience for us. Charleston is a beautiful city and Diane is the perfect guide to all that a guest might want to see and do. Our room was very clean, and charmingly decorated in antiques that were interesting and had great stories. The bed was big and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served with presentation in mind. Afternoon snacks were much appreciated and a nice touch! We enjoyed our stay and were able to tour all of Charleston on foot from this perfect location.

We stayed at Diane's Country Victorian B&B this summer for a few days. We were amazed by the charm of Charleston - and by Diane's hospitality. If you are staying with her, you will really experience the warmth and friendliness of Charleston. Our room was filled with antiques, which all had a special story. The bed was huge and very cosy. The breakfast Diane made for us was extraordinaire and so, so good! She also baked us delicious cookies and after a long day strolling around in wonderful Charleston, we came home to a "snack time"-basket filled with sweets and cookies. Diane insisted that we would bring along what we couldn't eat along with us for the trip. She also made nice, cool bottles of water for us for our trip further. At breakfast we really enjoyed chatting with both Diane and two other guests. It was the best bed and breakfast, and we can only give it - and Diane - our best recommendation!

This B&B provided everything we were hoping. Location was perfect and allowed us to walk everywhere without the worry of finding a parking place. Diane was extremely helpful and knowledgeable concerning what to do and see in Charleston. Price was more than reasonable for the accommodations, location and wonderful breakfast. Thanks Diane. P.S. We loved our surprise gift!

Booked the two-bedroom suite which was great for traveling with our son. Breakfast on the piazza was tasty and filling and it was fun watching the carriage tours roll past. A great location - five to ten minute walk to restaurants, market, and the waterfront. The house is old and rooms are full of antiques (and charm), so we would not recommend this B&B to fans of chain hotels. The rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable. A very quiet neighborhood full of beautiful historic homes. Diane is a wealth of local information and gave us great suggestions for activities and dining. A very pleasant experience that we hope to repeat soon.

The owner, Diane is very nice, knowledgeable and happy to help. She has a very interesting personal history too! Our room was huge, but also very welcoming. The location is far better than what we were hoping for. Our breakfasts were delicious (best coffee I've had in ages) and when we had to leave before sunrise on the last day she even packed us a breakfast goody bag to take on the road! I would highly recommend the Country Victorian.

A perfect setting in a historical city. The B&B is right in the middle of Charleston's historical district. You feel like you are in a different era. The breakfast was really good and the keeper of the inn was a wonderful host. We can't wait to go back and spend another anniversary with Diane Weed.

My husband and I spent a week at the Country Victorian B&B in Charleston SC. We had a great time. Diane Shared her knowledge and expertise on all manner of subjects. She helped us find the best restaurants, a quilt shop, and which routes to take. All the information she gave us was perfect. Add to that the fact that we had quilting and gardening and food in common, I felt like I was visiting a wonderful friend or relative. The room was lovely with lots of antiques and a big kingsize bed. We couldn't have asked for more.

You are right in the middle of things when staying at the Country Victorian B&B. All the Historic sites of Charleston are right within walking distance. This B&B is in a residential area so is very peaceful, birdsong fills the air as you sit on the front porch. Staying in this B&B lets you experience Charleston of another era-immerse yourself in the history rather than staying in a generic chain hotel. Breakfasts vary each day and other treats are provided in your room. Thanks Diane, you made my stay special!! karen from Minnesota

We found Country Victorian on the internet, and pleased that we did. After traveling eight hours to reach Charleston, we met our host, Diane Weed (who has lived here for 28 years in this home built in 1820), who provided us much more info about Charleston and helpful hints. After our talks, she recommended Poogan’s Porch, had already made a reservations for us, and easy walk at the corner of Queen and King Streets, and we thoroughly enjoyed the salad, crab cakes and shrimp and grits, plus the intimate, romantic small restaurant. Try it, you’ll like it. Next morn, we were up and ready for breakfast with Diane, an entertaining one and chefy. You had to be there. We conversed more on Charleston and Diane’s life (in the military and living around the World) and departed for a day in Charleston. Next day, Friday morn, we’re up and out to met Diane with breakfast on her “piazza”. Entertaining again. Diane is truly creative! Come to think of it, Charleston is like Diane’s breakfast parfait, delightful!!! We highly recommend her B&B for the antique collections, quaintness, entertaining gourmet breakfast and Diane’s personal interest in her guests, you’re all hers while you’re guesting… Hey, You know 4 balls is GREAT; 5, would be like staying in Buckingham Palace or, i.e. like "BP" What's relative? We enjoyed our stay and the location is great, South of Broad... There is no need to venture out more than Just North of Broad...

We truly enjoyed this B&B. Loved our charming room with all the antiques. Location was perfect for the home and garden tours right in the heart of the Historic District. Breakfasts were wonderful as was the opportunity to visit with other guests. Diane's recommendations for restaurants and what to see and do in Charleston made our stay!! It's obvious that she enjoys what she does and makes her guests feel welcome.

This place couldn't be beat especially with the great winter getaway prices - $99 a night for three nights during the week. I realize not everyone can get away on a Monday - Wednesday nights, but if you can, don't miss this bargain. Locaton was ideal, and we enjoyed a nice breakfast with conversation which was the perfect way to start off our day. We plan to return in the spring because it's the perfect location for the Annual Home and Garden tours.

Our recent stay was wonderful! We took a suite that had a delightful sitting area with sunny windows to read, an exceptionally clean sleeping & bathing area and scrumptious breakfasts. Diane was informative & gave great recommendations for eating out. (Loved them all) It was a rather cold time of year (Oct-Nov) but we were comfy snuggled in our cushy bed. Next time down, I hope to stay longer!

This is our second visit to Country Victorian B&B. We have stayed at many B&Bs and even though all are nice, this one really offers the charm we look for in a B&B. The homey atmosphere of the rooms, decorated in all antiques with interesting histories, provides the comfort we seek in our travels. Diane is a great hostess and offers a world of information on what to do and see in Charleston. It's a real treat to wake up and enjoy a wonderful homemade breakfast each morning and pleasant conversation with Diane and other guests. The prices are very reasonable for Charleston and the location can't be beat! We will be back again!

The room was absolutely charming and just full of antiques and with a private bath. The bed was quite comfortable and our host provided us with information on and coupons for a variety of tours. She made us feel it was our home away from home and visited with us endlessly as we enjoyed breakfast. I would highly recommend the County Victorian B & B to anyone who is looking for real southern hospitality at it's best. Diane made us realize she was truly thrilled to have us in her home and we plan to return to experience this again when we're back in Charleston. Don't miss this one.

I have been a visitor of the B&B for 8 years. It is very close to galleries, shopping, the Battery, tours, whatever you would want to do in Charleston. The B&B is very comfortable and Diane makes you feel like you are home. The decor is country with numerous antiques around and it feels very cozy. There are homemade muffins and breads made daily for breakfast and they are quite tasty. Diane treats everyone like family.

This was a fantastic location in the heart of downtown Charleston. Everything was in walking distance, which was wonderful. Diane, the innkeeper, is a very knowledgable and helpful person when it comes to what to see and do in Charleston. The room was very nice, although, keep in mind this is a historic home, and you have to make allowances for things that go along with an older home. Additionally, the walls are not sound proof, so if you are a light sleeper, that might be a problem. We tried to nap one afternoon, and the house next door was doing a garden tour, and the guest chatter and music kept us awake as well as the leaf blower and raking outside our window. Also, if you need modern amenities like a big jacuzzi tub this might not be the place for you. If, however, you like a clawfoot bathtub/shower, it is perfect! It just depends on your personal preference. Also note, the tv was just a small portable one, so if you like to watch tv, this might not work for you. We didn't mind at all! Diane's breakfasts were wonderful! We enjoyed her creativity with each meal. We also very much appreciated that she did not serve heavy breakfasts, as we were doing a lot of walking and did not want to be overly full. It also saved our appetites to try the wonderful southern cuisine later in the day! I just can't rave enough about Diane's helpfulness as well! We did a cruise out of Charleston, and she offered to let us store our bags at her place at the end of our cruise when we had to get off the ship early in the day, but did not need to get to the airport until the afternoon. This allowed us to have an extra play day in Charleston without our luggage instead of having to hang out in the airport all day. We are so gratful for that! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who apreciates old homes, and who wants excellent, personalized service.

We were very pleased with our experience at this bed and breakfast. Diane made us feel welcome and right at home from the moment we arrived.

The breakfasts were delicious and always presented in a very creatively, with smiling faces on the grapefruit. She also made a special effort to work around food allergies. During breakfast conversations, she would give us ideas of what to see and do that fit with our interests. She also knew all the good places to go for lunch and dinner. Diane's knowledge of Charleston was very valuable to us, and the location of her home is right in the heart of the historic district. We will definitely recommend this b&b to others.

My daughter and I very much enjoyed our time at this B & B. Diane went out of her way to make sure our stay was easy and comfortable. When we return to Charleston, Diane will be our first phone call. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Our stay revolved around the convenience of the owner - unload at a specific time, park on the street,eat between 9 and 10 AM and no wearing shoes inside. We were told numerous times that this was her private residence and were allowed into the dining room only. Tea in room, but we drink coffee - early! So we had to get up and go elsewhere. No parlor for mingling. Luckily it was warm enough that we could sit on the porch in our coats. We asked that 2 bottles of wine be chilled - she only had room for one. We felt like we were imposing on someone who wished that we really weren't staying there. We have always loved B & Bs, but this was the worst place we have ever stayed.

A True Delight! We decided to celebrate our anniversary at a B&B in Charleston, SC. We checked out many places and decided on Country Victorian Bed and Breakfast on Tradd Street. It had a great location and the price was right. (Many places we called were over $200 a night and only offered a continental breakfast (coffee & a pastry). The moment we arrived and saw this beautiful Victorian home, met Diane, and saw our room with a plate of cookies waiting for us, we knew we had chosen the right place. Our room, with a king-sized bed, was an antique lover’s delight! It took me back to days at my grandmother’s house making me feel very comfortable and right at home. Diane’s attention to detail was noticeable everywhere in the room. Diane’s knowledge of Charleston was invaluable. All her suggestions on where to dine, what to do, and what to see were right on target! In fact, if it wasn’t for all her knowledge in matching activities to our interests I’m sure we wouldn’t have enjoyed all that Charleston had to offer as much. I can’t forget to mention our breakfasts that were served to us each morning outside on the piazza (porch). It was a real treat to be served breakfast outside while watching people walk by and hearing the “clip-clop” sound of the horses as they pulled the carriages and related the tales of history to the occupants. Our breakfasts were wonderful – not only delicious, but Diane’s creative presentation was always an added surprise. Visiting with Diane and the other guests at breakfast was the perfect way to start each day. A snack basket each afternoon, filled with all kinds of goodies, was another unexpected treat at this B&B. How thoughtful!!! I can say that we have never spent a more delightful five days at a B&B and we have stayed at many B&Bs all over the US and Europe. It was truly a home away from home with Southern hospitality at it’s finest. We will surely return!

This charming Victorian in Charleston's historical area was a real treat, including snacks that owner Diane left for us each day. Breakfast on the piazza with other travelers made this part of a memorable B&B stay. This mother/daughter traveling team enjoyed looking at all the antiques in the room and reading the notes and tidbits dotted through our room, hallway and bathroom (complete with claw foot bathtub!). Breakfast meals were adequate, with two days of hearty meals and a smaller continental style breakfast the first day. Walking to where our car was parked around the corner just gave us more opportunity to explore the loveliness of historical Charleston.

After having spent 4 nights at a 5-star hotel in the heart of Charleston our stay at the Country Victorian B&B was exactly what we needed...a home away from home! Upon arriving at the quaint residence we were greeted by the innkeeper who immediately made us feel like special guests in her home. Having stayed at many B&Bs across Canada and the United States our stay at the Country Victorian was most enjoyable. We were very pleased with the location, accomodation as well as the great selection of breakfast items served. Diane went out of her way to make our stay comfortable and we were very appreciative of the little extras she provided which included homemade cookies and bedtime snacks. As our flight was leaving early on our last day she made sure to send us off with a "breakfast on the go" bag for us to enjoy on our flight back home.

If you want a true bed and breakfast experience, then the Country Victorian is the place to go. There are only a few rooms to be occupied so you truly have the homey feel. The innkeeper helpfully suggests places to go and things to eat - after you have eaten the fresh, home baked cookies left for you! Breakfast is a special treat with Spanish eggs or grapefruit faces smiling up at you! We had a suite that was absolutely spacious in an old carriage house. If you like country touches, the collection of old coat hangers were fascinating. But the best part is the location. Right in the heart of the historic district, you walk out on the street and feel the carriages are real, not simply taking tourists to see the marvelous sites but to transport an elegant lady and gentleman to the picnic grounds!

Having stayed at numerous B&B's in my travels all over the country, I was very disappointed in both the accommodations and food at the Country Victorian B&B, Charleston, SC. Our innkeeper prepared a minimal breakfast most of our stay. The food was cold (WHEN we got a hot breakfast)and in very small portions. On our last day, a cup of fruit and two breads were served. I kept waiting for something more substantial to come out, but alas, nothing arrived. No juice was ever offered or served. On a day she DID serve a little more substantial breakfast, the hashbrown nests holding scrambled eggs were overcooked and hard to eat. The waffles the day before were ice cold and appeared to be frozen toaster waffles. We had to practically beg for heat in our room as it turned chilly during our stay and were told to 'wear a sweater' for breakfast on the porch. Luckily it was so cold, she had to admit us to her interior dining room to eat. The inn restriction of removing our shoes before entering the dining area or our room was annoying at best. This information is only told to you upon her confirmation e-mail after she has gotten a handsome deposit. We were also assured before our visit we could get a parking pass for on street parking during our stay and had to almost beg for that as well. Only after arrival did she mention she only received 30 such parking passes for the year, which explained her reluctance in providing one. She advertises Wi-Fi on premises for the lucky ones with a computer, but the television in our room received only 4 channels, all with considerable interference and snow in the picture. Her room 'rules' are posted everywhere and as adult travelers, we found this to be annoying and insulting. For the price we paid, this would be the last B&B I would ever return to and cannot recommend anyone going there.
