Being that I did not fully read the description I guess I should not be dissatisfied that this was not a BnB. It would be nice if bikes were offered to guest to peddle around the town. I would suggest that the bathroom window (Room1) be made more private. Our room and bathroom were beautiful and grandeur. It is a short walk to the historic downtown and we really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Overnight Stay

Our stay at this beautiful place was amazing. We were immediately stunned at how well done the remodel of this historical home was for a comfortable, elegant stay. Everything was so clean, gorgeous, comfortable, and yet still had many historical elements preserved. The location was wonderful and convenient to downtown. We can’t wait to stay again.

Pleasant Beaufort Stay in style and comfort

A very pleasant stay for a very somber trip for a family funeral. It was easy keyless entry with a very communicative team. The amenities were great, particularly ample high quality morning coffee and chilled water bottles. Safe off-street parking and close walk to downtown and church.

I loved this property and process. However, they could use one extra towel rack for drying towels in the bathroom and chairs on the front porch to enjoy the sun in the afternoon. The bed was so comfy!!!! Other than that, it was really sweet! And the texts we got from the hospitality company were greatly appreciated!

This is an old historic home that was remodeled into a small hotel With five suites. We had 3 rooms, our friends found dirty robes and wet towels in his room. We discuss with the owner and was promised to get a refund of some percentage. I texted and followed up but nothing from the owner. The sheets and beds are nice and comfortable. We had the biggest suite and it was nice although the couches is dirty and should be steam Clean! Nice decor

Wow! You can feel the history of this building as soon as you lay eyes on it, and definitely when you step inside onto the original hardwood flooring. I love staying in spaces that embody the essence and charm of the town or city, and Circa did not disappoint. The room was beautifully decorated and all of the amenities were at my fingertips. It felt high end, and the bed was incredibly comfortable! I have never stayed at a hotel without on site staffing, but after visiting Circa 1785... I have to say I almost prefer it. I certainly didn't miss waiting in line to check in! I had some questions during my stay, but all were answered via text very quickly by the team. They even gave me some fabulous food and drink recommendations. I will be recommending this stay to others and certainly encourage anyone taking the time to read this to not second guess booking a room. Thanks, Team Circa 1785!!
