Vance Vacations from $469

The Beaufort Inn rises to the top so far, in Beaufort stays. We’ve stayed at the Rhett House and Cuthbert House. Different experiences in each. The grounds are immaculate, superior and expansive with a unique layout - offering room and cottage stays. Ample room for leisure and sitting outside. The main house is fine and clean, and where breakfast is served. Our C. cottage was immense and adorable with its own courtyard. The a/c worked wonderfully and it had all we needed except no Kleenex. Staff are helpful. The only differences in your experience here vs. the others is your B&B intricacies - for example… no wine and cheese hour; no table service for breakfast; no special treats in the room for you or your dog, no welcome drink. So your experience is less personalized. With that said, if you’re looking for an immaculate stay with off-street parking, with a light breakfast, and a super comfortable bed and plush white towels - also being walking distance to absolutely everything - this is your place.

I almost don’t want to share this hidden gem. Even though this hotel is small, it has everything you need for a great stay at affordable price. Our room was clean and spacious. Our shower broke and they immediately replaced a new shower head. Beautiful courtyard where my husband watched a game while we sat having drinks by the fireplace and listening to a live steel drum singer. The staff was polite and location couldn’t have been better. We will definitely be staying again. The only con is the small size of the pool which felt like bath water. Otherwise, we had a perfect stay at the Ryder Hotel.

Mattress firm to the extreme and not level. No on-site baggage storage. No on-site management (which meant management was not aware the smoke detectors were wired in and were being tested by a technician on on property rather than ringing due to batteries needing to be replaced). Not a true b&b in that there were only boxed meals to go.
