The Inn at Middleton Place offers a unique blend of Southern charm and natural beauty, situated within the historic Middleton Place Plantation. Guests consistently praise the stunning grounds, romantic atmosphere, and convenient access to the plantation’s attractions, particularly the gardens and tours. However, some reviews highlight maintenance issues and occasional staffing concerns.

The grounds are beautiful and well kept. The rooms are clean and modern. I did not give it a 5 because of the floors and portions of the walls not being hotel quality clean. My hubs explained it best, "it's like glamping". We have stayed in county park cabins so it gives more of that kind of vibe but more upscale! The rooms overlook the Ashley River, giving it a natural nature feel and the rooms having shutters definitely reminds you of a tree house view. The lodge offers a romantic setting with bar service, traditional board games and a delicious complimentary charcuterie during happy hour. The views are breathtaking and breakfast was more than I expected! Based on reviews, no pics shared that we would recieve a hot breakfast. It only showed pics of a continental one. So I shared pics to prove its more than bagels and juice! After breakfast we took advantage of the free access to Middleton Place and the tours. I am a local and it was worth the stay!

This was a beautiful place to stay. The views during the day or at night are amazing. The stay includes entrance to Middleton Place which is Also gorgeous! The tours are informative and interesting. The room has a wood burning fireplace during the season and a fold out couch. Extremely comfortable bed. The architecture of the buildings and rooms are quite interesting and I can imagine the grounds in the spring and fall when it’s not so hot would be amazing. It’s a little far from dining options and the restaurant at Middleton Place was closed on Monday, so check the schedule or plan on needing a car to get to restaurants. Overall a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend!

Our stay at The Inn at Middleton Place was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the beauty, history, and tranquility of Middleton Place created an unforgettable experience. The accommodations were comfortable, peaceful, and perfectly integrated into the natural surroundings, making it one of the most unique places we’ve visited in South Carolina. A special thank you to Lucas, the bartender at the Lodge, for providing outstanding service. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming, he crafted excellent drinks and made every visit to the bar enjoyable. His hospitality added a personal touch that truly enhanced our stay. We also want to recognize Mary Ellen and Sue for an incredible house tour. Their passion for the history of Middleton Place, attention to detail, and engaging storytelling brought the property to life. They shared fascinating insights that made us appreciate the rich heritage and significance of this remarkable landmark even more. The combination of beautiful accommodations, exceptional staff, delicious breakfast, fascinating history, and breathtaking grounds made this a five-star experience from beginning to end. We highly recommend Middleton Place to anyone looking for a memorable Lowcountry getaway filled with history, hospitality, and Southern charm. We look forward to returning. A perfect blend of history, hospitality, and Lowcountry beauty.

This is a charming resort with cozy rooms and beautiful walking trails. Delicious breakfast and relaxing happy hours. Memorable pictures of the scenery. Easy access to Charleston. However, the actual Middleton Plantation building is underwhelming.

Its a restful place. Our room 211 needed some work/ renovation. Many of our shutters were broken and would’t close of work right. The AC also wouldn’t cool to the set temp and we had to request a fan to stay comfortable in the 75 degree plus room. The staff were great and helpful. The place seemed unkept with lots of things for the grounds that needed done. Tall weeds, tall grass, tree debris, leaves, branches, logs, were everywhere. My wife and I got chigger bites just walking the paths. Great views and super relaxed atmosphere. A contradiction being a modern contemporary design in a completely unmanaged forest setting. IMO The entire site just seemed dirty and in need of some upkeep. You will see wildlife and experience insects there! Be aware!

This beautiful property was so much more than expected. The staff was so nice and professional, and they really showed they cared. I only felt not at ease at the restaurant attached to the gardens. The rooms are amazing, structured as if they are tree houses. The combination between the wood, concrete, and marble was very interesting. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was hard to figure out how to get the hot water to come out. The lounge was a great place to chill and have a drink. Be mindful that the restaurant is closed every Sunday/Monday, so if you don't bring food with yourself you must leave the property to find food, and that is at least a 20 minute drive back towards Charleston. If you decide to sit outside by the firepits, make sure you have socks and long pants because the sandfleas will eat you alive; chiggers as well. The breakfast buffet was nice, and you have a choice to eat outside on the deck or inside.

Beautiful location with decent amenities, including breakfast a short walk away. There's plenty to do here, including touring Middleton Grounds, horseback riding, or going on a short drive to visit Magnolia Plantation. If you're willing to go on a longer drive, there's also the Bee City zoo to visit. In the other direction, you can also check out the Charleston Aquarium or Flowetown Charm. We enjoyed our stay due to the beauty of the location, as well as the proximity to the activities we wanted to do. It was a quiet stay and I'd recommend staying here if you're ever in the area.

This a amazing place to stay. The rooms are very spacious on have a good "I am in the woods" feel. Wall filled with big blinded windows. Open all the blinds and nothing but outdoors feel. Absolutely nice if you want that out in the middle of nowhere (which we did) Had a nice fireplace that was actually met to be used. With plenty of wood to burn. More wood just outside the room. Ready to burn wood to. Not that fresh green stuff you struggle to get sarted and smoke you out. Even of the outdoorsy field, they are aiming for the property is still maintained.Very well nice walking paths. There is a nice little bar(also with a fireplace) the gentleman that was working was very informative on how to do his job right, cannot say enough good things about him. Plenty of outdoor sitting to enjoy a drink or just nature. Quite a few separate burning pits to enjoy while outdoors. There was a nice looking pool very clean although it was not swimming weather (I was actually supprised how well maintained off season) There is a nice breakfast in the lakehouse I believe it was called. The food was good and a bit above average and everything thing seemed clean. You could eat inside or out on a deck ouside. We choose outside to continue enjoying nature. The is a restaurant connected if you walk the trail. They only open certain days so check. Just behoned that is the garden which you are a ticket for while at tha Inn. So you could drive to the garden or just walk. When it is open of course. The gradens are very nice as well but that is a different reveiw. Already planning our next trip to the inn. If you are the outdoors type is place is definitely worth concideration in my opinion.

One of our favorite places to stay. Beautiful scenery and access to the plantation. Love the rooms with their floor to ceiling windows and fireplace. Food at the lake house and restaurant are delicious. Quiet outside of the city but close enough to be in the hustle and bustle within minutes.

Stayed here with my husband and two year old from 10/19/25 till 10/21/25. The property is absolutely stunning, all the privacy, tranquility and nature you want. The inn does offer access to the Middleton place, which is convenient (withing the price). The hotel does offer a very good breakfast included in the price. The views are exceptional, with the access to the lake.They are offering a cheese/fruit plate from 5 to 7 p.m. (no cost). The restaurant on the property offers a various menu. I have been previously there approx 4 years ago, the star of the menu always has been the grits and shrimp, they used to be better, now is more of a soupy grits for $24.....The hotel itself is not properly equipped for kids safety as the locks are easily accessible and there is an additional chain above with no reciever. My toddler was able to open the door and run into the woods many times. There are roaches and bugs in the room as well. I was awoken at night by rats within the walls. When I mentioned there details at the checkout, the feedback was "Ok, I will let the management know ". Not sure I would return any time soon....
