    I absolutely loved my stay here! Everything about this place was fascinating. The Inn is absolutely beautiful, historic and the rooms are huge. I stayed in a queen room on the first floor. The bathroom was very spacious and clean. My bed was fantastic. It was probably the best bed that I have slept in for a long time other than my own. I enjoyed meeting Mary and John. John made me a nice breakfast and we chatted while I ate it in their lovely dining room. All of the rooms have so much history and the area is very nice. I would love to come back again and stay here over any hotel any day.

    What an amazing view and beautiful historic home/inn. We enjoyed our two nights here. Very clean, and quiet, nice breakfast. John was a wonderful host, telling stories of the history of the home and the area. Convenient to get into Augusta or North Augusta. I'd definitely recommend when you're in Augusta a stay across the river.

    From the feel of the 1800's to breakfast served daily and the hospitality of John, the Inn-keeper.

    Looking for an amazing get-away???…read more 2nd stay at The Farm and shocked at what all has changed in just a couple of months. Landscaping, new trees, a small garden and a brand new driveway! Again, the best service ever. The sweetest host(ess). And AMAZING food! I watched our host climb a ladder and hang tree lights which scared me to death but wine and the cheese board on the patio became that much nicer as a result. I can't say it enough... BOOK NOW!

    Last weekend, we attended an event in the historic horse, town of Aiken, South Carolina. While…read moreAiken is described as a charming town with many attractions, the charm began for us as soon as we reached our bed and breakfast, Burrell and Flynn's Farm . When I say they thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable , I Mean everything . The historic charm of Aiken is carried throughout the home with an updated style sure to make every visitors stay feel like a retreat! When we arrived, we were greeted with a huge hello and smile by the host and given a tour of the home. I already felt at home ! The tour lead us through the beautifully decorated living rooms to the bed rooms that were filled with everything from snacks to cold drinks in the fridge to a Nespresso machine. The immaculate bathrooms have every amenity you could possibly think of with a five star hotel feel. Best of the best of everything from the hand soap to the professional grade blow dryer . Oh and if you are a TV watcher, no worries. Each room has a large TV! As the tour continued to the rear of the home, we walked past a "reading nook or meditation room " and through the "workout room" which opens up to a beautiful back porch that overlooks a beautiful in ground swimming pool . The deck is huge with a lot of comfortable seating and table top fire pit. This is where we enjoyed the "charcuterie and wine hour "after we enjoyed a polar plunge in the salt water pool. In the morning we enjoyed a Delicious gourmet breakfast prepared by the chef, our host! While over filling our bellies we enjoyed the tunes coming from the record player that was turning old vinyls ! There is so much more I could say but I'll leave it with The attention to detail is unmatched! There is something for everyone here . When our stay was over we left with a gift from the host and her precious sidekick Georgia Bean who gave us a little farewell bark! Thank you for your Southern Hospitality. It was a wonderful weekend ! We can't wait for our next visit !

    We decided to avoid the interstate motel roulette wheel and spend the night at the Partridge Inn…read more Pulling up, things looked promising. The valet folks were friendly, everybody smiled, and for a moment I thought we might have stumbled onto one of those places where Southern hospitality still gets practiced instead of just printed on brochures. The inn itself has that old-school charm. The front porch alone looks like it has stories to tell, and most of them are probably better than the ones you'll hear at the average chain hotel breakfast buffet. The room was nice enough, though getting to it felt a little like a low-impact obstacle course. After stepping off the elevator, there were three steps to negotiate before reaching the room. No big deal. I shuffled the luggage and carried on. Then I discovered the room itself was split-level, complete with three more steps. That arrangement seemed perfectly reasonable until the 3 a.m. trip to the bathroom, when those same steps suddenly became an adventure sport. One suggestion: every room ought to have a proper nightstand and a place to charge the electronic gadgets that have become attached to modern Americans like an extra limb. We may not all travel with a typewriter anymore, but most of us carry enough electronics to launch a small satellite. Things got a little more interesting when hunger arrived. We tried to make restaurant reservations through the Resy link on the hotel's website. No luck. The restaurant wasn't listed. Fine. Technology fails. It happens. So I called the restaurant. No answer. Turns out the restaurant number appears to be the same as the front desk. I left a message and waited about 45 minutes for a callback. Never got one. Again, no big deal. DoorDash and an Indian restaurant came to the rescue. While pondering the mystery of the missing callback, I found myself staring out the window. That's when I noticed the paint splatters and streaks all over the glass. Now, I don't know who handles maintenance around there, but somebody needs to explain that painting a window and cleaning a window are two entirely different activities. And that's really the story of the Partridge Inn. Nice people. Pleasant room. Plenty of charm. But charm can only carry you so far when attention to detail keeps missing the bus. The little things matter because they add up. The unanswered phone, the broken reservation link, the paint on the windows, the awkward room layout--they're all small by themselves. Together, they're enough to make me appreciate the stay but probably not enough to make me come back for another one.

    We chose this hotel to get away from the chain hotels, and try something more southern-charm-y…read more Looked great online, we were definitely excited, and looked forward to something more bougie, as we were in town for a wedding. The staff member (woman) who greeted us showed none of the southern charm we hear so much about. We felt like we were a burden during check-in. We saw her one other time, and she didn't ask how things were going, and walked away from the desk when we walked toward her w a question. She was not present when we checked out. Aside from the blasting AC--joy to our northern ears--we were really disappointed with our room (the one at the top of the stairs in the main building) and generally underwhelmed w the hotel experience. Upon closer inspection you see that the hotel is shabby and in need of some attention. The issues w our room included: the dresser drawers having improperly long bolts/screws which snagged clothes multiple times, nearly ripping items. The room didn't look clean; stained carpet, as well as areas of carpet w water damage, as the AC unit dripped nonstop. It's safe to assume the staff is aware of the problem, as there is noticeable staining on the wall under the drip. All of this extra moisture left the carpet soggy under the AC vent, and the room smelling musty. There were stains from, god only knows what, over our bed. And the cherry on the cake was the cockroach we saw running around our bathroom on our last night. We've stayed in loads of hotels in the south and have yet to have had that happen. The one saving grace was the kind cook. Suffice to say we won't be going back.

    Need needed to cancel my reservation in plenty of time. Kept getting on a phone tree with just…read morerobots. Couldn't get through. When I did talk to someone in reservations, they were rude arrogant, and wouldn't let me talk and hung up on me. Our confirmation email indicated that we had a refund. The woman robot I talked to in canceling reservations said we had a nonrefundable rate. Not tru, we did in our email confirmation. She also disconnected me. This is a terrible way to run a business and I will never go back and never recommend it to anyone.

    We came for the B&B and stayed for dinner instead of going into Dublin. So glad we did!…read more The hosts were amazing and fit us in at the last minute when we found out there was a restaurant on-prem. We were seated at 7pm and both the service and food were amazing. We felt like family. The owner stopped and chatted with each table for a few minutes after the main course. The B&B was also a pleasure. We had a special need and the owner was more than happy to accommodate us. The room was cozy and had a couple of easy chairs that you could watch TV from. There was also a couple of bags of snacks and a fridge stocked with sodas and water, all complimentary. If you love animals, there is a resident cat who makes his way along the outside porch as an ambassador to all the guests. There are also some donkeys and horses on property who love to get their heads scratched.

My breakfast was a beautiful omelette, fresh fruit, buttered toast, tea, juice, or coffee, fresh jams, and all delicious. The farm is cute and quaint and not too far off the main drag. The friendly kitty was a treat as well. I will tell you, the night I stayed they were feeding a book club and the smell of the food was making me salivate from my room! I was offered but declined and now I regret it so much! Planning on going back with my husband when we can eat dinner as well! Can't wait!
