Finding yourself in need of a little getaway as a pick-me-up? In the heart of historic Camden, South Carolina (the state's oldest inland city), you'll find the welcoming and romantic Bloomsbury Inn, built in 1854. Named one of the most romantic inns in America, Bloomsbury Inn is a must-visit. If charming and historic old homes are at the top of your list for adventure, you'll love the Bloomsbury.

The stately former single family home was renovated and opened as a bed and breakfast in 2004 by Katherine and Dr. Bruce Brown, who continue to operate the inn today. The Browns have twice been named the Innkeepers of the Year by BedandBreakfast.com.
