“Close-In Annapolis Country Oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Less than five minutes from the heart of Annapolis lies The Taylor House in a peaceful country setting that is a world apart from the dense, colonial town so near. Innkeeper Sophia Taylor Gibbs is descendant of a colonial Annapolis family, and her knowledge of the area and its history is most helpful.

The spacious rooms are well-furnished in Colonial style. They are immaculately maintained. Sophia offers a wide variety of breakfast options, as well as snacks and beverages during the day. When not enjoying Annapolis, the immense grounds and front porch rocking chairs provide welcome opportunities for relaxation. If you close your eyes, you can imagine the days when George Washington used to race horses in this area.

Anyone seeking interested in the Naval Academy, colonial Annapolis, or the legendary seafood of the area will find The Taylor House a delightful and convenient base from which to explore the area. And on crowded weekends –such as Homecoming Weekend when I was there- the peaceful country setting will be a welcome relief from the crowds.

Room Tip: If you have mobility issues, request a first floor room. Otherewise, second floor offers scenic view...

“Very accommodating, spacious, nice & homey.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011

I went to Annapolis to stay at The Taylor House with the purpose of getting my grad paper finished. I had writers block and hadn't made much progress, so the weekend before it was due I decided to make a change of scenery and spend the weekend working. They were very accommodating and friendly. They made sure the room had a desk and adequate light, as well keeping the noise down and intentionally not "bothering" me. She even left me some chocolate to keep my energy up! The room was comfortable and the accommodations good. The breakfast was mainly a continental breakfast, but there was a wide variety and it was all good. She also gave a wonderful recommendation for a restaurant. From beginning to end, it was a great working "getaway" and an excellent value. I highly recommend.

Room Tip: Upstairs rooms are a little more

“What a pleasant surprise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010

person found this review helpful

Sometimes you stay at B&Bs and they are nothing like the visuals you see on the website. In fact some are such a disappointment that it makes one not want to have the B&B experience. BUT this place... the website does not do it justice. This place is fantastic. The Sophia (s) experience is so worth it as well. What gracious gals and the hospitality warms your heart. Located on 8 acres surrounded by horse farms, my brother, his wife and I had the time of our life. You will too.! Wow, the price???? Amazing!
