Cuthbert House

Everything about our experience at The Cuthbert House Inn was extraordinary. We arrived just in time for the evening hors d'oeuvres hour and were warmly welcomed by the charming owners, Chris and Suzanne, whom we saw regularly throughout our stay. Their hospitality, along with the kindness and helpfulness of Robert, Karen, and Evette, made us feel truly at home. Our room was pristine—immaculately cleaned and beautifully decorated with a thoughtful blend of antiques and modern comforts. Upon entering, we were greeted with chocolates from the very store Tom Hanks frequented while filming Forrest Gump, as well as a personalized note with the next day’s weather, sunrise, and sunset times—such lovely, thoughtful touches. The inn itself is a stunning example of preserving historical integrity while incorporating modern amenities. Built in 1790, the house retains its original charm with period furnishings, yet feels comfortably updated. Attention to detail is evident in every corner. Breakfast each morning was a real highlight—a delicious buffet with a rotating hot item, all served in the beautiful main dining room. The pastries, made in-house by the chef, were incredible, and he kindly accommodated my dairy allergy without hesitation. And the French press coffee? Amazing. I loved it so much, I brought home a bag of their custom blend for my family. For those traveling with someone with mobility issues, be aware that most rooms are up a flight of stairs, though there are three rooms on ground level. Breakfast is served on the main floor, which is accessed by stairs at the front or back of the house. My 80-year-old mother chose to climb the stairs each day, but I’m sure the staff would have allowed us to bring a tray to her room if needed. The views from the house are absolutely breathtaking—directly overlooking the bay with sailboats drifting by, framed by live oaks draped in Spanish moss and resurrection ferns. At times, it truly felt like we were looking at a painting. Another bonus: the house is within easy walking distance to Beaufort’s charming downtown, full of great restaurants, shops, and galleries. You can leave your car parked and soak in the local atmosphere on foot. If you're considering a stay in Beaufort, The Cuthbert House Inn is an unforgettable choice—gracious hospitality, incredible food, thoughtful accommodations, and picture-perfect surroundings. Highly, highly recommend.

Booking a room at Cuthbert House Inn for our recent road trip was the best decision we made. What a fabulous place to stay in beautiful Beaufort. From the warm and friendly welcome we received to the spotless and well equipped bedroom, we couldn't have asked for more. The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed the 'social hour' when we were able to meet other guests for a chat. It was lovely to meet with the owners, who obviously take immense pride and care in their business. All the hotel staff were friendly, courteous and welcoming. Beaufort is a pretty little town and very walkable. We would return without hesitation.
