ONE OF OUR FAVOURITES

Featured Stay

Where you stay can be just as memorable as where you go. Sometimes the right accommodation changes the shape of a journey entirely, turning an overnight stop into a highlight.

This is one of the standouts for us, chosen for the character, atmosphere and small details that make it worth sharing. Keep exploring below, you may find a new favourite of your own

Cuthbert House Inn

Beaufort, SC

There’s a warmth to Cuthbert House Inn that goes beyond good service. The staff exceed expectations, with special inclusions like evening canapés and drinks and turndown service with chocolates from the local shop that supplied those eaten by Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump. Combined with 200 years of history overlooking the Beaufort River, it feels less like a hotel and more like being hosted by old friends. We visited for a birthday and found chilled champagne waiting in our room, the perfect finishing touch to an already memorable stay.

Select stays include a complimentary extra, just mention us when you book.
