Had a great visit. The grounds were amazing. Staff at house were very knowledgeable. I ended up dropping my phone in the pond and a staff member Dave went in the freezing water and got my phone. Wow! Thanks Dave, you saved the day!

We bought the combo tickets for the Middleton Place & Edmondston-Alston House. We first visited the Middleton Place on the outskirts of Charleston. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking! The entire property is very well kept and maintained. The main house tour was short and interesting. It had about a handful of courteous and very informative ladies who were ready to assist you with all your questions. My favorite spot was the area around the carriage house and home to most of all the animals. You get to pet the sheep, Lily the cow and some of the horses used to pull the carriages for reserved rides. The horses were majestic indeed and sweet when approached. We had the pleasure in meeting this very nice gentleman who worked in the section that exhibited many of the equipment used to run the functions of the house and barn area. He was very informative and attentive to our questions. We also got to meet a nice young man who represented a blacksmith, and who showed us how he actually made and welded pieces together on sight. There was another gentleman who played the part of one who worked back then forming different kinds of wooden barrels for more than one use. There was also still standing, a home where one of their many slaves lived and continued living, even after she was freed. Note: My review doesn't include the Middleton restaurant, that one has its own rating.…

Beautiful, spacious property! It is well maintained and the gardens are kept in their original designs. Lots of walking! Only one part of the original house remains due to the destruction of the Civil War but this property is definitely worth checking out. Great house tour. Lots of original heirlooms from the family are on display at the house. We went there for a morning tour on a weekday and we had the place pretty much to ourselves until around noon. I would recommend staying for lunch too! Surprisingly it was the best Southern food we had during our entire trip to Charleston! Awesome Shrimp and Grits and Fried Chicken!! Get the pecan pie with praline ice cream too!!…
