Beaufort Inn

After having a screw-up with our reservations at the Hilton and finding no other rooms available for the night, we contacted the Beaufort Inn to see if they had availability. They had one room left and the night auditor and trainee stayed late so that we could check in and get settled. The whole inn is GORGEOUS and our room was beautiful, cozy and clean. The staff really is the epitome of southern hospitality. We could not have asked for a better stay and in fact, are planning to return on vacation just to stay here. It's very easy to see why this inn has received Four-Diamond status.

I have visited The Beaufort Inn over half dozen times during the past eight years, and each visit seems to have been better than the one before. However, under the new and capable management of veteran innkeepers Julie and Mitch Myers (who live on site), this stellar inn has definitely reached a new pinnacle of excellence. Magnificent architecture combines with elegant decor and impressive amenities to provide guests with the ultimate in comfort as well as style. Guests also have the option of choosing the type of accommodations which best suits their personal preference or particular need--a lavish bed chamber in the main house, loft or carriage house accommodations, or a charming restored cottage. A wall fountain adds a sense of tranquility to the inn's lush courtyard garden, and the inn's new Tabby Garden is an ideal setting for weddings and other special events. Unlike many inns located in historic areas, The Beaufort Inn provides complimentary parking spaces for their guests adjacent to the inn. An amazing breakfast is prepared and served each morning, in a lovely dining room, by Southern Graces--a high-end catering service which adds an additional dimension of excellence to The Beaufort Inn. Lunch, also prepared by Southern Graces, is also served at The Beaufort Inn. A major expansion of the inn is currently in the planning stage, and the plans are impressive. I can hardly wait to watch them unfold and then re-visit this top-notch bed and breakfast once they do. --Maxine Pinson Associate Editor, BedandBreakfast.com
