What a lovely find! Immaculate and spacious rooms, gorgeous bathroom and delightful staff. From the tea service to the breakfast - incredible! We did not get a chance to partake of the champagne toast, but definitely next time.
The historic building was beautifully preserved and charming. The breakfast was excellent, the staff was friendly and helpful and the late afternoon tea was delightful.

Great location, hospitality was great op notch as were the rooms
Breakfast was simply fantastic with lots of variety. Offered daily toast, evening bar/coffee with snacks. Hosts were friendly and polite with lots of recommendations for things to do/ places to go. Simply a great place to unwind and get massages, peace and quiet! Highly recommend and definitely will return!💕
we had a very comfortable king size bed, the tea and snacks were very good and the breakfast was fantastic (delicious food and nice fresh choices)!

The room on the first floor was very nice, and the staff was super helpful. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the parking situation. We had to park a couple of blocks away in a parking lot and I didn't exactly feel safe walking back after dinner.
My wife and I had a great stay at Bellwether House. The location was perfect next to the park. Quiet, charming and still walkable to everything you’d want to do. Matt and the rest of the staff were very hospitable. The tea service and breakfast were fantastic! We ate there every morning and evening (before dinner). We’ve already recommended staying here to a few friends and family and would book again without hesitation. 5 stars!
My wife and I were in Savannah for our 29th anniversary. I got lucky and chose Bellwether based on its location, previous reviews, and pictures. Check in was a breeze and the staff was very helpful. The included breakfast was also very good. Parking was a block away but they have a loading area right there which was great. The premises were very clean, well maintained, and interesting. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy the scenery, with a large courtyard and very nice front porch. The rooms were nicely decorated, clean, and updated. My only issue was the WiFi was unreliable so watching tv was difficult. I would definitely stay here again.
Very diverse and healthy breakfast, clean rooms and dining rooms and interior of house. Staff was very courteous and accommodating. Bar had wide variety drinks,wine and liquors.
Nice, quiet and cute B&B with nice design details and super friendly staff. Not quite the lux spot the listing made it out to be (more like 4 stars than 5) but still a really solid choice if you’re looking for a B&B.
Beautiful property, everyone who appreciates architecture will enjoy it. We stayed in the premium king room facing the street. It was quiet. The area is very walkable. The breakfast was nice, a lot of variety, amazing pastries. They also offer afternoon tea, which we tried once and champagne at 6pm. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. I would rate this property at 4.5 stars.
We couldn’t have picked a more romantic backdrop than Bellwether House. From the champagne toasts and tea towers at afternoon service to the incredible breakfasts, every detail was thoughtful. The staff made us feel like honored guests in their home.
