4.4 out of 5Wonderful stay in Charleston
April 18, 2013
We stayed in the suite and it was just perfect for us! The ambience was outstanding, as was the location. It was quiet and accessible to many great walks and within walking distance to good restaurants. Ms. Palmer and her staff were welcoming and made us feel quite at home. We enjoyed the breakfast--traditional and plenty of it. Excellent grits.
4.4 out of 5A very pleasant stay
April 14, 2013
My entire experience was exceptional. From the initial greeting to leaving, absolutely wonderful! I travel with my large dog, and they were very kind to him, had plenty of information/suggestions for the best beach to take him, a local dog park, as well as local establishments that were pet friendly. The location is perfect for tourists, and vacationers wanting to simply relax.
5 out of 5Southern Artisan Spirits- Charleston Food & Wine Festival Accommodation
March 07, 2013
Five of us stayed in the Carriage house and brought our dog. Perfect accommodtion for group,family or accompaning dog. The Carriage House had great charm. Occupants in upstairs bedrooms wake to a fabulous view of the sun rising over the bay and Fort Sumpter. Rooms are beautiful, furnished with antiques, but not stuffy. Downstairs has a nice functional little kitchen, dining area and very comfortable den that we enjoyed greatly after standing all day working the food and wine festival....Access to the main house was an experience! A delicious full breakfast is served in the dining room every morning. Guests are allowed to eat in the "drawing room." Later in the day, wine, cheese and other snacks are served.... So interesting to hear the history of the house from Francess, the third generation owner.... All the staff was great. Libby, the concierge, was especially helpful and accomodating. She even offered to walk our dog! Libby told us about nearby puppy parks that we did take our dog to. I don't have one complaint about our stay at the Palmer House. We will certainly be staying there again!

The view over the harbor and bay are beautiful. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The property itself thing of beauty from the outside. However, up close it needs some TLC.
