“Cozy, quiet getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We spend a long weekend at the Brampton Inn for our mini-moon, and we couldn't have been more happy with our stay in the Camellia Cottage. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, with a wood burning fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen. Probably our favorite part of our stay was the food, tea every afternoon at 4pm and a delicious 3-course home-cooked breakfast every morning with fresh local ingredients. They were especially accommodating of my food needs (vegetarian and gluten-free)--they had delicious gluten-free muffins for me every morning! I highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a cozy, quiet getaway in a beautiful setting. We will definitely be back!

Room Tip: We stayed in the Camellia cottage, a cozy 1-bedroom with a wood-burning fireplace.

“If you're looking for a cozy, old-world getaway, this is the place for you!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

My husband and I booked the Sunrise cottage for our 2-year anniversary, and we couldn't have had a better time! From the moment we stepped inside the main house, we knew we'd chosen a great place - Christmas decorations were everywhere, and the house itself, while ginormous, is just plain cozy. Danielle gave us a quick tour of the main house before showing us to our cottage - "quaint, yet elegant" is the perfect phrase to describe it! The bath amenities smell heavenly, the whirlpool tub is spacious enough for two (and has a built-in "heater" to keep your bath water warm - ingenious!), and the bed is easily one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. We chose to eat at O'Connor's Pub (not listed in the Brampton's restaurant guide, but they have delicious food and great service!) and followed that up with a late-night, bundled-up walk around the property under the full moon. And breakfast...wow! I'm not usually a morning eater, but the pancakes with baked apples were amazingly tasty! (My husband thoroughly enjoyed his crab and leek omelet, too.) We will definitely be back to stay at the Brampton Inn again - couldn't have had a better anniversary!

Thank you for the lovely review. The last full-moon was indeed amazing. Thank you for mentioning O'Connors Pub. They are less than a mile from the inn and it's a fun place to go for a very casual meal.

“I would recommend to a friend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2011 via mobile

We got a warm welcome from Rita when we arrived and a short tour of the historic house. Tea and cheese and crackers were served 4-7 pm. Complemtary sodas and cookies are available 24/7. The coconut macaroons were too good resist !! Rooms were large and fireplaces ready to light. Very quiet and peaceful place to rest. Breakfasts were 5 star and delicious!! Chestertown and Rock Hall are minutes away for excellent restaurants .

“The perfect spot for a honeymoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I recently stayed at the Brampton Inn as part of our honeymoon. We arrived quite late on our first night, but Rita got us checked in quickly, and gave us a list of restaurants that would still be open, as well as a map of the area. We had a wonderful meal at The Blue Heron as per her recommendation.

We booked the Mulberry Cottage for two nights, a recently-built facility which offered the perfect blend of old world charm and modern convenience by combining rich brocades and drapes with clean warm wood finishes. This cottage included a very private fenced-in yard with a hammock and a porch swing, and inside it had such amenities as a kitchenette with complimentary beverages, a real working fireplace, a large bed with the softest sheets I have ever slept on, a Whirlpool jacuzzi tub, a shower with multiple controllable side jets, a heated towel bar, plush robes, and a TV you can watch from either the bed or the bath. Attached to the cottage was a screened porch with a Japanese soaking tub, as well as an outdoor shower for use during the summer months. The layout of the cottage was practical and efficient; with plenty of room for comfort, but not an inch of wasted space. Additionally, the inn seamlessly incorporates its historical facilities with its modern additions, so we had our own designated parking spot in what had once been the carriage barn for the property.

When I made my reservation, I was given the option to add on romantic touches such as a bouquet of roses for the room. I decided to surprise my husband by ordering a dozen orange roses, his favourite. When we arrived at the cottage, there was the most beautiful arrangement of fire-orange roses we had ever seen resting on the table. It was definitely worth splurging on, and it made the room that much more special.

In the morning we had a lovely breakfast up at the main house which included glazed cranberry muffins that were to die for, pineapple and kiwi in a mint syrup, fluffy cheese and onion omelettes, and herbal tea. Each morning they give you three entree options, so there is bound to be something to please everyone. Also, they were very accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Some other examples of what you might expect to be served are waffles, eggs prepared any way, Greek omelettes, raspberry cream cheese filled pancakes, lemon french toast, fresh grapefruit, cherry scones, and spiced apple tarts. Their baked goods are truly heavenly.

We actually spent a good portion of our time up at the main house. They have a cozy den that is open 24hrs/day with complimentary fresh home-baked cookies, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, popcorn, soda, and libations. Also, they have a library where you can borrow movies, books, or board games at any time. Rita and Danielle both came and sat with us and talked about the wedding and how our honeymoon had gone so far, making us feel welcome and at home.

Brampton is in a great location for anyone visiting the area. During our stay we visited the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michael's, stopped for fresh Kilby's milk at Higgie's market, toured historic Chestertown where we ate at Play it Again Sam coffeehouse and browsed through used book stores, then continued up north to visit Winterthur and the Delaware Art Museum.

Brampton also has a large property that includes acres of land to walk in and explore. At night there is almost no light pollution, so it is perfect for star-gazing.

Between the amazing cottage, the amazing food, and the amazing service from our hosts we decided to extend our stay and add on an extra day to our trip. We truly cannot recommend a better B&B than this!

Room Tip: The cottages are private, quiet, and modern - the perfect spot for a romantic getaway.

“Felt like home.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011 via mobile

We stayed in the Mulberry cottage and it was amazing. The room was very spacious and clean, even the fireplace was prepared and lite using only 1 match. The breakfast was delicious, especially the french toast with homemade sausage. I highly recommend the Bramton Inn, we had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning.
