    The views are breathtaking. It’s a perfect blend of history with beautiful gardens. The historians at Middleton did such a great job to honor and share past stories, making this vacation not only a relaxing one, but also interesting. We enjoyed the weather greatly, the nightly snacks and drinks were a great addition- what a way to share a sunset on our anniversary trip! We might not be back right away, but will tell others to visit- 100% recommend as a relaxing adult getaway.

    This is our second visit and it was more wonderful than the first. From the moment you enter your room, walk through the gardens or just sit and watch the wildlife over the Ashley River and marsh it’s captivating. Our meal at the restaurant was amazing and I would give the chef and staff a 5 star rating. Already planning a return in fall.

    It being connected to the Middleton Place grounds was great. We walked the paths and saw so much wildlife. The hotel was also a treat as it has great views of the Ashley River and the marsh areas across the river. We will go back again.

    This was a fantastic stay. Felt like a grownup summer camp in the best ways. Staff was helpful and cheerful, our room was clean and comfortable (and wow to the window wall!), the rain-shower was the best we've used, the views and amenities were wonderful. Great breakfast and happy hour, enjoyed beautiful Middleton Place and had a refreshing swim in the unheated pool. Already plotting our return. Truly fun, interesting and enjoyable.

    The fact that you get free passes to the gardens is such a good deal (normally $35/person). We walked roughly 10 miles in 3 days seeing the gorgeous trees, happy animals, and getting delicious food at the restaurant in the gardens. We'll definitely be making this an annual trip for us!

We ate lunch at the Middleton Restaurant and even though it was a bit pricy and portions small our meal was delicious. Our time at Middleton Inn and gardens was very enjoyable and we highly recommend the Inn for your vacation.

    Very rarely am I overwhelmed with how wonderful a place is. THIS WAS FABULOUS! Rustic, off-the-beaten-path place. If you want fancy, shiny, and new….this is not your jam. If you want true Lowcountry, understated elegance…BOOK NOW! I cannot believe I’ve waited so long to experience The Inn at Middleton Place. Hats off to whomever is running this fantastic property.

    Hammocks hanging in trees were inviting and helped us have the most relaxing retreat from the hectic pace life often demands. Every staff member was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. Rooms were very clean. Hot breakfasts daily at the Lake House were delicious and the complimentary offerings at the Lodge for Happy Hour and the Nightcap every evening were unexpected surprises. We are booking another stay later this summer even though we just got home to Greenville 3 days ago. The only recommendation I have is to ask for a first floor room if walking up a long flight of cement steps would be a challenge.

    It was our anniversary, and we stayed here. We weren’t really greeted or congratulated, but that wasn’t a big issue. When we arrived, housekeeping seemed to still be working, and there were bags of trash along the road. In our room, the bathroom was very dirty. The toilet was extremely unclean, and there was even used toilet paper left from previous guests. There were no tissues or basic toiletries like shampoo or shower gel. After a long journey, we were too tired to deal with it and ended up cleaning it ourselves. Our first impression was disappointing. The territory itself is beautiful, but not well maintained.

    We stayed two nights, breakfast and all the amenities were excellent. The staff was friendly and having access to Middleton Place Garden was a dream! My only qualm (at 7 months pregnant) was the bed and pillow comfortability, my husband agreed though so it wasnt just me! The other thing to consider is bringing your own vehicle if you are planning on doing any sight seeing or leaving the property. Downtown Charleston is about a 35 to 45 minute depending on the time of day.

    We also enjoyed having a real wood-burning fireplace. Our favorite part was the walkway to the Middleton Plantation. The Azalea’s were stunning in late March. We had dinner at the restaurant at Middleton plantation.And then we walked the lighted path back to our room. Magical! We enjoyed the Inn’s wonderful complimentary breakfast bar the next morning as well!

    Relaxing and peaceful. The rustic yet modern architecture, despite being nearly 40 years old, is timeless and well maintained. Room was clean and comfortable. Our stay was in late February and use of the wood burner fireplace is a unique offering. The own downside was that it did make the room smell of camp fire. We had to wash our clothes and duffle bags as soon as we got home to rid the smoke smell. We visited previously in the spring and don't remember the smell being so prominent, so perhaps this isn't an issue year round. The complimentary breakfast was incredibly good. The happy hour drinks and complimentary hors d'oeuvres were a special treat that felt very upscale and personal. The gardens are within an easy walking distance and are beautiful. This is a great place for a quite relaxing retreat.

    Loved the setting. Beautifully situated on the river. The rooms were set within the wooded area with windows on three sides so that it felt like you were immersed in the area. The eating and lodge for activities were close by so had a pleasant walk for breakfast or to happy hour. Eco-friendly was undermined by too many individually packaged items like mini creamers, jams, butter instead of using butter plate, 1/2 & 1/2 pitcher and jars of jam. Would have preferred a normal bath as the size made it difficult to hold the heat in. Great hot water system though shower pressure left something to be desired.

I would've rated it better overall if we had actually received our breakfast that we ordered the night before. We ordered it for our room to be delivered at 9:30. By the time it had reached 10 we already needed to leave so we just went without.

    Beautiful setting. We were the only ones we saw walking around the property in the early evenings. The Happy Hour self-serve charcuterie and cash bar on the property were very convenient and we enjoyed sitting along the river in the provided seating both njghts. We dined at the property restaurant last night and had a delicious meal. The Lake House breakfast was very substantial each morning, with lots of options. The rooms were quiet, clean, and had all of the amenities. We appreciated the availability of umbrellas and flashlights so we could walk the trails to our late dinner reservation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this place and hope to return for another visit. Unfortunately, we were unable to partake in any formal site tours because we had booked off-site Fossil digging excursions both days which kept us out past the last tour. We did enjoy doing self-guided tours of the beautiful grounds.

    Breakfast was delicious and consistent, with a nice variety: eggs, bacon, grits, fruit, cereal, yogurt, pastries, and even gluten-free toast and English muffins for my celiac husband — a big plus! We also loved the happy hour cheese board and the nightcap at the lodge. The staff were fantastic — warm and attentive. The gardens were stunning, with lakes, sheep grazing freely, and even a few alligators. The Inn also thoughtfully honors its harsh history with slavery through stories, displays, and tours that promote reflection and remembrance. We highly recommend this place — peaceful, beautiful, and rich in history.

Walk in shower with rain shower head. Large minimal decor room and a perfect bed. the grounds are lined with relaxing chairs and hammocks and just a short walk and Middleton Gardens delight. Admission is included.Happy hour at the Lodge and Breakfast at the Lake House were delicious. All the staff are kind and generous and seem to recognize the amazing gift of Middleton Place. Dinner at the onsite restaurant was good and a pleasant walk. Just please do not tell anyone else, it is that good that greediness is indicated.

Only negative is the conflict of times on the tours(not set up well, considering that we would like to see them all) and no information on where they meet shown on the map, so difficult as a newbie, to know where to go. BUT excellent tours!!! Really fabulous and informative, sensitive, but real.

    Beautiful property with walking trails overlooking the Ashley River and Middleton Gardens. A lodge with full bar and charcuterie snacks plus an evening night cap. It's a secluded getaway tucked away from the world in a beautiful wooded setting. Highly recommend!

    We love going to Middleton Place. We like to stop go for lunch in Charleston on the way and time it to check in time. Once we are Middleton we hardly ever leave. We love walking around the property and walking to their fabulous restaurant. After hours you almost have the gardens to yourself (at least on week days). The breakfast is included and is hearty and delicious. We love having a real fire in the fireplace when it’s colder.

    The room was comfortable but had to change rooms for steep steps to get to assigned rooms. Moved to main level. No hangers in room. Also quite dark outside at night to get to and from car. Definitely need better lighting in and around the parking lot to prevent accidents!

    Service was good however our room service was ok. Our bed was not made but I’m not sure if it was supposed to be. Our towels and wash clothes were left folded in a trash bag on the ground. The room was nice. If I can simply suggest some art work on the wall in the room to make it more “homie” or more friendly. The bed was not very comfy and seemed like we were sliding down towards the foot of the bed. There were a few bugs in the bathroom throughout our stay as well.

    Happy hour was very nice. Great drinks and the live music was wonderful. Charcuterie provided was simple but good. Try the pickled okra and pimento cheese! Breakfast was very good. Cheesy grits, real bacon and pure maple syrup jars were my highlights. We thoroughly enjoyed walking the grounds and felt the walk to the restaurant was not "long". I wouldn't wear heels on the walk but the inn specifically states this(as it seems others have had an issue). We stayed here for two nights to get away from the hustle and bustle. The semi-submergence in nature drew me in and was idyllic after an army graduation we attended prior. Only issue was it seemed someone tried to hack my phone while connected to Wi-fi. We were pretty much the only ones in the building when I got the alert someone logged into an account in SC. Possibly staff?

    The hotel overall was great. Perfect location to explore the plantation district. The inn also gives you private access to Middleton Place, which was nice to avoid the crowds. The rooms are on the rustic side, but maintained. Only complaints, we lost water pressure for several hours. Also, be aware that the rooms are in a very dusty/sandy area so that gets pulled into your room. The staff was nice and friendly. Happy hour snacks were a plus. Breakfast was typical fair; scrambled eggs/bacon/sausage/yogurt parfait and pastries. One thing to be aware of, the Inn is at least 30 minutes away from downtown Charleston as well as everything else. Dinner options outside of the plantation are none. That being said, we would definitely stay there again if in the area. So much history to explore. Also be aware that there are alligators in the pond areas, so watch your step (they warn you about them when you check in.).

All staff on site are incredibly generous and helpful. The views are what make the stay though. And you also get free admission into the garden next door! So so beautiful, would definitely stay here again.

    The property is stunning. The staff was very nice, helpful, and efficient. The room was airy with a lot of light, the bed was comfortable, and my bathroom had a massive rain shower that was a nice surprise! The breakfast was really, really good (real bacon!) The only drawback is the time it takes to get to anything nearby, because it is fairly secluded an a minimum of 20 minutes to get to any restaurants.

    I have been to the inn several times and for the first time, I was disappointed. Amenities had changed (no hot breakfast, no reusable water bottles) and no bottles of wine (promised by Expedia). I brought my mom for her 70th birthday for an experience that is no longer provided. The inn could have communicated the change when I called to make sure the rooms were together. Both of our rooms had palmetto bugs, which I’ve never seen there. Breakfast pastries were not fresh daily, and it’s awkward peeling hard boiled eggs at the table. I spoke to a gentleman at the desk after the first night (I wasn’t able to get into my room until after 4) and he expressed that he’d ask his manager if a cheese plate could be sent to our room, but that didn’t happen. I’m incredibly disappointed, and I won’t be back.

    Property was beautiful and it was clear the grounds Keepers cared about doing a good job. Staff very warm and friendly. Room clean and well cared for since built with only minor wear showing. Major issue was a family with two small children above us running, slamming doors, and dragging furniture across the wooden floors from 6am until after midnight. It was like staying in a college dorm but worse. Since it was pouring rain we couldn't go out to the gardens as much as we had planned. I think the hotel needs to make sure not to put families with children above those staying for relaxation - it ruined the stay. If I hadn't spent so much money on the reservation I would have left. The mattress was also very poor even though the linens were high quality. Be sure to ask for a top floor room!
