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.

Enjoyed our stay here very much, breakfast was a little on the vegan side which is fine but would have enjoyed some protein with it. Coffee was excellent and staff very friendly

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.

It’s a beautiful gem in the heart if the historic district
Very helpful and over top friendly staff
The rooms are exquisite and high end design and quality
The bedsheets were amazing
Breakfast is great - different variety - continental but again quality food and presentation
The place itself has so much charm
Tall ceilings and windows, spacious rooms
I was in the upstairs one only and the outdoors invites to work relax or socialize
Easy to walk around to Forsyth park and easily walkable to river front, downtown areas.
I would def come again

Our stay at the Bellwether was wonderful. Staff were very friendly and our room was absolutely stunning. They think of every detail to ensure your stay is everything you hope for and more. The nightly champagne saber exemplified this. My husband and I got lattes from the bar each morning which were delicious. The location is very convenient, as well. If you opt to get tickets for the hop-on, hop-off trolley, one of the stops is right around the corner from the Bellwether. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back.

We loved our stay at the Bellweather Inn. The historic charm of the inn was everywhere but the modern conveniences were not lacking. The bathroom was well appointed and laid out, the queen size bed was comfortable and the linens were perfectly soft. The included breakfast was delicious with many options, including gluten free amd vegetarian. We would absolutely stay again.

Bellwether is a lovely B&B in a great location. Some changes took place a few weeks ago and we found it not quite as unique as our first sat of two nights earlier this year. THE WONDERFUL BREAKFAST is now a decent continental offering instead with a wide variety of offerings.
The afternoon tea has been pared down, the bar is nonexistent and the 6 pm wine and cheese hello hour also no longer exists. What was unique then is no longer. The accomodations are still lovely though and if you didn’t know you might not miss what has been discontinued.
