As a last minute stay we could not have been more pleased! The property is just lovely, the staff phenomenal, the espresso martini 10/10, the bagels and lox and the hand crafted cappuccino snuggled up in the most luxurious sheets ever like I could go on forever! My only complaint was that we didn’t not have the time to stay longer! With that being said we have already booked a weekend in August and will be taking full advantage of the spa services and hopefully a yoga class as well :)

The breakfast is delicious. Treats offered during teatime are also great. Only downside is that our room didn’t have dressers so we couldn’t unpack during our stay. We will definitely come again.

The Bellwether property and staff are amazing. They truly make you feel at home in a beautiful setting in Savannah. The location is excellent, so close to Forsyth park and the downtown area, but away from too many crowds to make it peaceful and enjoyable. Paul, Matt and Scarlett were excellent hosts. Breakfast was outstanding with so many options. We also loved the Tea Time snacks and Champagne toast. I would definitely stay there again!

Accessible friendly staff with attention to detail; ensuring that we had a comfortable relaxing stay. Wonderful breakfast included each day; fresh, intentional and culinarily bespoke. Truly a visual treat. The location was perfect, just a couple steps away from Forsyth Park, situated on a charming tree lined street-a plus during the warmer weather. We enjoyed the wonderful front porch, it was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a cappuccino/cocktail and reflect on that day’s adventures. This historic home is tastefully decorated and well maintained. If you’re looking to submerge yourself into true low country southern culture and slow down, this beautifully maintained home is the perfect place. Skip the (all look the same) chain hotel filled with tourists, that lacks historical flair and take a step back in time and book a stay at this historical beauty.

We loved our stay at the Bellwether! The location is fantastic, the accommodations are charming, and the staff is great! We particularly appreciated Paul who made us feel so welcome and went out of his way to make sure our stay was fun and comfortable. Matt was also super friendly and was very attentive. The complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, and champagne toast were the “cherry on top” to our stay.
