South Carolina Bed and Breakfasts
Thinking about heading down (or up, depending on where you live) to the spectacular state of South Carolina, the land of smiling faces and beautiful places? South Carolina has plenty to offer the traveler, whether you’re in the neighborhood for business, pleasure, a family vacation, visiting relatives, a romantic getaway, or an activity-focused getaway with colleagues or friends.

South Carolina offers a rich, diverse, and interesting history and culture steeped in European, Caribbean, and African traditions and influences. You will also find gorgeous and breathtaking scenery and views (of the foothills, magnificent mountains, valleys), natural forests, golden, sunny, and sandy beaches, crystal-clear lakes, and magnificent mountains. You’ll also find resorts, amazing golf courses, fantastic water sports (scuba diving with alligators, anyone?), scrumptious dining options, amazing historic sites, such as sites of the Civil War and Revolutionary War, natural wonders, and much, much more.

Consider South Carolina bed and breakfast accommodations for your trip or vacation for something a little different from the traditional hotel or motel experience. South Carolina bed and breakfast inns offer a more personal, hospitable, homey, and relaxing touch and experience you won’t find with other types of lodging. Not only will you find peaceful, comfortable, and cozy accommodations through a typical South Carolina B&B, but you’ll also be able to take advantage of the friendly and full-of-hospitality owner or innkeeper’s helpful information about the area, including folklore, little tips on the local life, the best places to shop and eat in the area, ideas of activities for the whole family or romantic options for just the two of you, and little-known sights you won’t want to miss that many tourists don’t know about.

If you’re hanging around one area for your stay in gorgeous South Carolina, you can stick with one particular bed and breakfast or rotate between several in the area. On the other hand, if you’re traveling throughout a lot of South Carolina for your vacation, you can make pit stops along the way at night at many of the state’s fabulous bed and breakfast inns, allowing you to get a comfortable and relaxing night’s sleep in some quaint and charming accommodations, and waking up to a delicious and energizing breakfast to get you going again.

Each South Carolina bed and breakfast is unique, offering its own distinct flavor and charm, but they all offer a part of what makes South Carolina such a great place to visit. Each B&B will have its own “theme,” such as Victorian elegance, a more modern, city look, Western design, a nature-focused B&B, and so on. Some owners have turned their farms and old plantation homes into very unique bed and breakfast accommodations. There is something for every style!

Different South Carolina bed & breakfasts also cater to different tourists and their needs.  For example some are family-friendly and pet-friendly, some are conducive to couples on romantic getaways or on their honeymoon, and some are more business-oriented, geared toward professionals on business trips, and come with desks, wireless Internet access, and sometimes business conference rooms.

Further, South Carolina bed and breakfast inns will also vary according to price, amenities, or features, as well as the type of breakfast they serve. Generally speaking, the pricier a room at a South Carolina B&B, the more amenities and features that particular bed and breakfast will offer, and the fancier the breakfast will likely be (continental, plus cereal and fruit, plus hot food like bacon and eggs, for example). At the same time, bed & breakfast that only charges around $40 or $50 USD for a room at night will be a lot simpler and offer less features. The breakfast will also be more basic, such as muffins, fruit, coffee, and juice.
