Beautiful Summerville

Over all we enjoyed our stay. We were somewhat surprised by the small space. Could have used a second comfortable chair as the rocker was pretty but not at all comfortable. Also there was no hot water to the bathroom sink. We appreciated Linda's caring attitude with us and the other guests that included prayer. Enjoyed the pool and property very much. Gorgeous!

Summerville break

Linda and Enola were wonderful hosts. Everything was just as I expected and more so. It was a lovely touch when we arrived to find the welcome coffee and bread! The grounds were beautiful and we will be back at a later time of the year next time so we can experience them in full bloom.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Shelbourne

Peter and Linda have lived at LINWOOD for forty years. When their sons purchased their own homes near by, Linda developed the stately, Victorian house (1893) into a B&B. After 20 years of success and many awards, their concentration is now on the unique, comfortable, beautiful cottages which are in the grounds of the small, historic estate. We have a heart for hospitality, history and horticulture and love sharing all that with our guests. Guests come as strangers and leave as friends especially our winter folks who stay three months, enjoying the warmth of the Carolinas. It is particularly nice to have extended stay guests which is why we give very good rates to those staying longer.

Why they chose this property

Not only is "The Private Guest Quarters" a unique, comfortable and charming accommodation, it is very conveniently located to historic Charleston, Dorchester and Berkley counties for temporary work, relocating, or visiting.

What makes this property unique

This charming and comfortable, small accommodation is a great place to use as headquarters while working in or exploring the beautiful SC coastal region. You may drive north to Myrtle Beach and south to Hilton Head and Savannah. Wonderful to come home to this self contained, fully furnished abode after a busy work day or vacation in the area. Relax and walk to town for a drink and dinner if not in the mood to cook your own in the " Quarter's" kitchen.
