We spent a night in Savannah on our way back from Florida. We loved our stay here. The property is beautiful and the rooms have everything you need. There was complimentary champagne our first night and the complimentary breakfast was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this b&b and we will absolutely be back next time we are in the area.

I can’t say enough nice things about our stay at the Bellwether House. Staff really took care of us. It was very quiet and comfortable. The room was clean and spacious and our bathroom was giant. All the food and drinks served were delicious. Really walkable to a lot of places in the historic district in Savannah and to the park. A great stay!

Amazing stay in Savannah!
We loved the Bellwether! The house is beautiful and the staff are amazing. We stayed in suite 14 off the patio and had the perfect amount of interaction and privacy. My husband kept raving about how much he enjoyed the stay. Every night there is complimentary brut and the bar stays open until 11. The location is perfect. The Bellwether also offers breakfast and adternoon tea amd sandwiches. We didn't partake in either but the next time we will because we plan on returning. If you are hesitant to book a suite, dont be, just do it!

We had an enjoyable stay at the Bellwether House even though we had a hurricane hit while we were there. The staff was very accommodating, and even let us book a second room due to a power outage at our daughter's house. Loved the extra touches of champagne, cookies, tea time and breakfast. The friendly staff was the best!
