  • Inn Details

    A true taste of the South - this circa 1853 historic home offers beautifully decorated bedrooms with antique four poster and canopied beds. Known as Charleston's Full Southern Breakfast Place, the Cannonboro Inn is a place to be pampered-sleep until the aroma of one of our sumptuous breakfasts lures you to the piazza overlooking a low country garden and fountain. After breakfast tour nearby historic sites on touring bicycles and return to afternoon tea.

    My husband and I stayed at the Cannonboro Inn recently and were very happy with the accomodations. We stayed in the suite which was spacious and clean. The breakfasts were outstanding and were such a treat in the morning. The hosts were gracious and friendly and were eager to answer questions and to offer help. When we return to Charleston, this is the place we will stay.

    A great place to stay.

    This is a lovely bed and breakfast. When my mom and I decided to take an impromptu road trip up to Charleston from Atlanta, we chose the Cannonboro because of its affordability and special amenities (touring bicycles!). We had such a nice time at this inn. We stayed in room #2 of the guest house which was beautifully decorated and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable and we especially enjoyed being able to use the guest house kitchen. We also liked that this B & B is located in a quieter more residential part of the city, but still within walking distance of all the excitement. Upon arrival we were greeting by the very friendly and accommodating hostess. A few hours later we enjoyed wine and hors d’oeuvres on the beautiful Cannonboro porch. The next morning we had a fantastic sit down breakfast, chatted with other guests from all corners of the United States, and spent a very pleasant morning discussing Charleston history with Barry the owner of the Cannonboro and the Ashley Inn. Before departing, mom and I took the inn's bicycle for a spin around the city. This is a great place to stay, and we can't wait to return!

    Very pleased with all aspects of stay -- excellent service, recommendations for restaurants were great, breakfast was incredible, and took advantage of free loaner bikes. Will return!

    We loved our stay at the Cannonboro - spent 5 nights at the end of February into the first few days of March - Barry was a great and knowledgeable host and the staff made us New Yorkers right at home. They sent us to Lanas for the best meal we had in Charleston. They set up a sight seeing tour for our first morning in town and Barry reccommended some golf options we enjoyed. We had to leave before 7am and told them not to figure us into their breakfast planning that day - they packed us a portable breakfast that they left in the fridge for with a note wishing us a safe trip. Can't beat it with a stick. Pretty surroundings and captivating people at the Cannonboro. (The same can be said for the city of Charleston itself). Enjoy.

    Elegant and Comfortable

    We stayed 2 nights at this beautiful southern Bed & Breakfast. The room was large and tastefully decorated. Charleston has many sights to offer and this Bed & Breakfast is located near a trolley to take you on a tour. Breakfast here is a reason to get up, although the bed is so comfortable you may want to linger. When you smell fresh coffee brewing and come down the staircase to the beautifully set table and a delicious gourmet breakfast you have been welcomed with the Southern style grace. The Innkeeper is just a delightful person and the owner, Barry takes his morning coffee with you and has some great stories to tell. This is truly a must if you like Charleston and Southern hospitality.
