There are many reasons I wish to recommend the Bloomsbury for your next visit to Camden, SC.
First of all and most importantly the innkeepers Bruce and Katherine Brown are very professional hosts that pay very close attention to all the details to ensure your stay will be a perfect one. It is easy to see why they are award winning hosts and why this is one of the top 10 bed and breakfasts in the nation. Bruce has a million stories from his military career as well as the history of the beautiful home that he shares with the guest during the evening hospitality hour. Katherine’s creativity and attention to details during the meal in both presentation and southern culinary delicacy a real treat. The food is absolutely delicious and the conversation during the meal was just as enjoyable.
The home is a living history of the old south and has been lovingly restored to period standards. The big front porch and large entrance with the beautiful staircases reflect the plantation style homes that were prevalent in the mid 1800’s. The home is exquisitely decorated with very interesting pieces from all over the world and Bruce has a story behind each of them which too is very interesting. The grounds are lovingly manicured and tended and no matter what time of the year are beautiful. I could only imagine how beautiful Bloomsbury would be in the spring when the azaleas are blooming.
The specific history of this home is rich. Mary Chestnut wrote parts of her diary in this home which links this home to the Pulitzer Prize winning works of this amazing lady. One can picture the confederate officers and ladies in antebellum dress drinking mint juleps on the front porch and Mary sitting in the study writing her memoirs.
Finally the town is Camden is a beautiful and historically rich place to visit. There is much Civil War history as well as the site of the famous Battle of Camden. There are many sites and interesting things to visit in this town. Bloomsbury seems to bring all of this history to life.
Kim and I certainly enjoyed our stay at Bloomsbury and will be back. We highly recommend you visit Bruce and Katherine. Five stars from us.
