After booking Lowndes Grove for our honeymoon, we were highly disappointed in the location and upkeep of the house. The pictures on the website must have been taken years ago when the house was initially "redone". We were so disappointed at what we found that we ended up booking a room elsewhere at the last minute. Stay in downtown Charleston!... more

Lowndes Grove is beautiful as are the guest rooms in the Main House (I did not see the Carriage House rooms). The owner/host was very accommodating and helpful. Unlike other guests, we had plenty of hot water! The only down side is that the Plantation hosts events on the grounds and the night we were there, the music emanating from... more

The atmosphere and heritage are a given with this historic B&B. The house and grounds are beautiful. I got engaged over New Year's and my fiance and I have chosen Lowndes Grove to be our wedding/reception site in May of '07. That, in itself, should say enough. To be VERY picky, the individual rooms don't lock and the hot water... more

This place was great. Sitting on the the top floor veranda and hearing taps played at the military academy across the way was magical. I feel in love with this place the moment we arrived and I can't wait to return!!! Props to the "chef" who supplied us with the best french toast ever! more

I would have given this place an average rating, due to the ambience, but because the customer service is so awful, I couldn't bring myself to rate it above terrible. To start off with, the breakfasts are not "made to order" as advertised, which is fine if you're not picky. The rooms were nice, but we never had hot water... more

I stayed in the Lowndes Grove for 4 nights with my wife and 2 kids (5 and 3 years old). It was incredible. The place is top notch (clean, well decorated, quiet) and the staff was exceedingly friendly. The grounds were well kept and enclosed, so my kids could run around on them. Breakfast was terrific - hot and freshly... more

Even though we found the plantation on an internet search, until you pull into the driveway and see this spectacular setting for yourself, its real! Lex and his staff where gracious hosts, our room was very beautiful, breakfast was delicious and friendly. We were handed a key and told to enjoy every inch of the property, which we did. The... more

A trip back in time literally, both by the beautiflly decorated, historic mansion and being with two of my treasured high school friends. This unbelievable experience was shared by another, or else I might have thought I'd been dreaming. We actually had a 10,000 Sq. Ft. mansion to ourselves. This was during the week as it does not seem to... more

My husband and I were married at Lowndes Grove in September of 2001. The couple who own and operate this beautiful bed and breakfast employ a dedicated wedding coordinator. Sally has years of experience and provided a wedding more wonderful than I could have ever planned for myself. The catering, the flowers, the grounds- everything was beautiful. I was really... more
