Sarah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was nice. It was more like a bed and breakfast than a boutique hotel. Not necessarily a bad thing but not what I expected by the description. It was a little pricey for what it was, in my opinion. The location was perfect because I wanted to stay in a residential area. Savannah is easy to navigate and walkable. It’s a beautiful town.

We spent a night in Savannah on our way back from Florida. We loved our stay here. The property is beautiful and the rooms have everything you need. There was complimentary champagne our first night and the complimentary breakfast was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this b&b and we will absolutely be back next time we are in the area.

The most charming place to stay in Savannah! We felt so well taken care of and soaked up every little detail. Our favorites were the meals (don’t miss tea time!), the front porch relaxation, the calming design, great staff, and the location. I won’t to go back right away!!

An absolutely phenomenal stay that sets the bar for any future trips anywhere! Afternoon tea and breakfast each morning were an absolute delight and the location can't be beat - exceptionably walkable and in a beautiful area of town. The staff was a delight and provided great service. Will be my first choice stay for anytime I'm in Savannah!

Liked the coziness feeling of not too many guests. Had to get used to the “old city” environment, but that contributed to the “ uniqueness “ of it. Overall, enjoyable experience.

Bellwether House was amazing. A modern B&B with an outstanding staff and gourmet breakfast and afternoon tea. It was the perfect spot for us to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Romantic, quaint and luxurious. Thank you Bellwether for the perfect stay!
