Absolutely fantastic property and the location is perfect to Forsyth Park close to the main fountain (just a small walk away) - we arrived at night so the front entrance was tricky to find, however there is a rear entrance to the hotel property down an adjacent rear alley/street (E Gaston Lane) with a very convenient area to load and unload luggage, step through the courtyard and up the steps into the rear entrance of Bellwether. Room Four was amazing.

Another great stay at the Bellwether. The room was charming, food was amazing and the service was great. You get good value when you realize that your overnight stay includes a late day high tea, glass of champagne and a delicious breakfast. We will be back!

Historical, Heaven sent stay in Savannah!
Our stay at Bellwether was truly amazing. It was our first time ever at a B&B and it far exceeded any expectations. The property was beautiful and immaculately kept. The staff were all so wonderful it felt like we were staying with friends. We plan on returning and making this our go-to place to stay when in Savannah. Our one regret was not making it to afternoon tea during our stay! But we know we will be back. Thank you, to all of you at Bellwether for a memorable and relaxing stay for my husband's birthday!

Charming but not for bad back or light sleepers
The place is charming old Victorian style house. Therefore, stairs are everywhere. Although, they helped carry my luggage, I had to leave one of my luggage on the street to get a help as there are stairs to enter the place. Not friendly for a solo traveler with bad back. I arrived early and had to wait for the room to be ready. It’s not that they were unfriendly, but nothing was offered or said. I would have been impressed with their customer service if they offered me tea or coffee while I waited at the foyer and porch, and reassured that they are working on my room. Maybe they were going with casualness, but I chose this hotel because of the top rating.. I was disappointed. Next door came back in the middle of the night waking me up and I thought they were in my room. I could hear their conversation. Noise was something can’t be helped with this kind of building. But it was noisy.

What a special place! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The tea time was so fun. We really appreciated the free, convenient parking. The location couldn’t be better, walk two minutes to the famous park and turn down Bull St to walk all the way down to River St passing through all the beautiful squares along the way. Highly recommended!
