Bellwether House

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful neighborhood. However, for the 3 mornings we had breakfast, we wasted over an hour each morning waiting for breakfast. The wait staff never apologized or acted like this was unacceptable. Coffee and orange juice were readily served but waiting for food took more than an hour each day.

If you want to feel spoiled and really soak in all the southern charm Savannah has to offer, stay at Bellwether! We had an absolutely wonderful time! Our suite was beautiful, comfortable bed and pillows, soft towels, awesome bathroom, and private entry! Sitting on the front porch with a drink was so peaceful and a much needed break from everyday life! The staff was so pleasant and willing to help in anyway they could. The house is so charming. Location was perfect. We utilized the free trolley several times but also walked all the way to Riverstreet! The cookies at night were a nice bonus. I couldn’t recommend this place anymore. We didn’t want to leave!

Bellwether House is located on a charming street in Savannah’s historic district. It is a beautifully restored mansion with all the modern conveniences. The staff here couldn’t be more welcoming or accommodating. We enjoyed meeting everyone, including manager Victoria, chef Izzy and helpful staff members Emily, Tyra and Kobe. We didn’t get everyone’s name, but every staff member was delightful. Breakfast and exotic teas, coffees, and lemonades are included in the tariff, and they are original and delicious. Chef Izzy makes a dish called syrniki, a cross between a crumpet and a pancake garnished with whipped creamy cheese and pineapple chutney. Never had such a delicious breakfast dish. Unlike many b&b’s, there is an actual menu, and it is a nice one. Try some of the exotic coffees and teas, such as a matcha latte with honey, or espresso with rose water. So imaginative. I can’t conclude this review without high praise for the quality linens. The beds are very comfortable and the sheets are silky soft. This is a perfect place to relax, and my husband and I were sad to leave.

The Bellwether House is a beautiful place in a very convenient location. We were able to walk to most places we wanted to see (although a bit too far to walk to the riverfront). For the sake of context, we got this stay via a charity auction. As such, we paid considerably more for this stay than we would have otherwise. That said, we were still pretty disappointed in the room we were given. They use the term "suite" but that's a real stretch. The room didn't have any drawers for clothing and the armoire had two (2) hangers to hang clothes. The room itself was fairly drab and sparsely decorated and required going up and down 22 steps to get to it (we are an "older couple" and pretty used to stairs, but that was a bit much). The room had a nice upstairs porch available, but, unlike other rooms around us, it was not accessible through a door, but, rather, a large double-hung window. We very much enjoyed sitting on the porch our first evening, but subsequently, a rope for the counterbalance apparently was broken and prevented the window from being opened at all. We reported this right away, but nothing was done. Very disappointing as the porch was nicer than the room itself. The breakfast that was served was pretty good but fairly limited. The fresh fruit was very good and the sausage was tasty, but other options were just "OK". The afternoon tea was very nice. The big question is: would we stay there again? Probably not. If the stay was donated to the charity which we supported in the hopes of creating a positive impression and recommendation, it fell short.

This was a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable bed, and a beautiful room. The food was amazing! Delicious afternoon tea, and the breakfast was wonderful. I loved the cookies at night. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Having free parking very close by was a lovely bonus. The close proximity to the attractions we wanted to participate in make this the perfect place to stay. I highly recommend the Bellwether House.

Our stay at the Bellwether House was amazing. The staff was great and friendly. Taylor was especially fun and friendly! The room was very unique, the bed was so comfortable, The bedding and towels so soft. There is a large selection at breakfast and everything we had there was great. I would 100% stay there again. The ambiance is perfect for Savannah. ❤️

Le séjour que nous avons passé au Bellwether House fut le plus beau moment de notre voyage dans le sud des USA ! C’est un merveilleux hotel dans une maison historique où il fait très bon vivre. Les petits déjeuners étaient délicieux et le personnel était très sympa et attentionné! Notre chambre était ravissante.. Tout ici nous a véritablement laissé sous le charme

L’hôtel est magnifique , très bien situé, le personnel est gentil et accueillant. Le petit déjeuner, le tea time ainsi que l’happy hour font de ce lieu un incontournable. Seulement voilà ! ….. Nous avions réservé une magnifique chambre pour nos 40 ans de mariage belle , lumineuse , à l’étage avec une terrasse et à l’arrivée lors du Check in on nous dit que oups , on ne trouve pas notre réservation, pour laquelle j’ai déjà payé une partie, et pour laquelle j’ai échangé avec l’établissement vu que évènement spécial. Et en plus , pas de chance l’hôtel est complet. Cet hôtel je l’ai réservé depuis des mois , je rêvais d’y séjourner. Nous étions sur le point de repartir quand on nous annonce qu’on a peut-être une solution pour nous. …..et on nous conduit au sous sol vraiment cf photos , dans une chambre sans fenêtre, toute sombre , obligé de mettre l’éclairage artificiel sinon noir complet. Nos 40 ans de mariage à la cave !!!! Et on nous a dit que nous étions surclassé ! La belle blague. Quelle déception, séjour gâché, alors que nous n’y sommes pour rien , on a juste perdu notre réservation, nous subissons ce manque de professionnalisme. J’ai plus tard envoyé un feed-back a l’hôtel ainsi qu’à la plate-forme de réservation. Cela n’a semblé émouvoir personne , ils se sont rejeté la responsabilité. En attendant c’est nous qui en avons fait les frais au sens propre comme au figuré car nous avons quand même payé pour cela. Et cher $618. On nous a chichement dédommagé de $75!!! De qui se moque t-on? $618 VS $75 Une sacrée mésaventure dont nous nous souviendrons longtemps et qui nous a coûté cher. C’est dommage car dans des conditions normales nous aurions adoré cet endroit.
