The Barksdale House Inn serves a daily continental breakfast and maintains a snack bar/deli for guests. The property features a garden with a terrace, a lobby fireplace, and a library. Located in Downtown Charleston's historic district, the inn sits 492.1 ft from the College of Charleston.

“Barksdale House Inn presents a compelling alternative to Charleston's larger hotels, emphasizing individualized service within a historic setting. The inn's 1778 structure and Victorian decor contribute to an authentic Charleston experience, enhanced by complimentary refreshments and walkable proximity to downtown attractions. I find this inn a particularly charming base for couples and history buffs seeking a personal touch.”
