Brampton 1860 is one of those rare places that actually delivers on the promise of escape. From the…read moremoment we arrived, the world outside faded away. We stayed in Marley's Cottage and it was incredible. The red door entrance from our parking space felt like stepping into a secret hideaway. Inside we had a fireplace, a tub on the screened back patio, and a porch swing where we enjoyed our morning coffee. It was private, quiet, and felt like our own little world. Breakfast in the Manor House was outstanding with fresh eggs from their own chickens, and the daily afternoon tea became one of our favorite parts of the day. We met other guests, enjoyed fresh pastries, and had great conversations with the owners, Dave and Hilari. They are warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about both hospitality and preserving the history of this place. Talking with them about Brampton's story and their vision was a highlight of our stay. Definitely try their Steampot dinner! It's loaded with fresh local seafood and felt like a true taste of the Eastern Shore. The property itself is beautiful to walk with gardens, meadows, and wildlife everywhere. Evenings by the fire pit were relaxing and made even better by Squeaky, the inn's charismatic cat. Brampton 1860 is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway or just time to slow down and recharge.

My fiancé and I had a terrible experience with the Brampton Inn as we tried to arrange an elopement…read morepackage there. The transaction should have been simple and straightforward. We were trying to solidify the plan in April/May for a mid-October elopement along with a several night stay in one of the cottages. What we received was lazy communication and terrible customer service. Nina is the employee to steer clear of. She alibied her piss poor responsiveness by saying the Eastern Shore culture just moved at a very slow pace. It took three attempts to receive an error-free contract. We had questions about the photographer that went unanswered for weeks. After nearly a month of trying to lock in our dates and address some of the finer details we received an email from Nina suggesting that we seek out another photographer or another venue altogether if they weren't moving fast enough for us. We did just that, refusing to beg anyone to take our money. Then today, three months later, we received an email from Nina asking us if we'd like to proceed. I responded to her email telling her we made other arrangements and that I'd be leaving feedback online about our experience with her. Attention David and Hillary Rinehart (owners), Nina is poorly representing your establishment and costing you money and your reputation.

Watching the sunset on the Chesapeake was breathtaking. Our host regaled us with the history of the quaint town of Chestertown and of Great Oak Manor itself. Dinner and service were impeccable, as was the conversation! I am appreciative and grateful for the invitation. My friends and I had a once-in-a-lifetime memory and will be back to create many more!

The town is sweet, and not far from Easton/St. Michaels if you need a little more "action". I would absolutely return and will recommend to my friends and family. Thank you for a lovely vacation!

When I rejected him this drug addict was ready to fight. I got a new room the next day. The room was better, but Im never going back. In the second room strangers still knocked on my door. Scared my dog so much she peed herself. I used one of their dingy towels to clean it up. It was my silent protest. Besides, I was not going to use those dingy towels on my body. Im so sorry I exposed my pets to that ghetto environment. They are not used to that. I was scared to live them in the motel. I rather pay triple than ever step foot in there again. Drug addicts everywhere. This place was scary and I stood out like a red thumb. It simply was not safe or clean. It was worse than the bates motel. Also the owner was a weird man, but he even looked at me like "why are you here". No other hotels were available. I should have driven to another city. On a positive note they are walking distance from the courthouse. Frankly, this place is a drug den. Never again. Trafling

When we checked-in we learned that there were three weddings happening that weekend. The people working the front desk were beyond kind and helpful. We ended up with a highway view room, but we didn't mind because there were enough common spaces to see the water. We had a delicious lunch at Fisherman's Crab Deck next door. My dad then picked us up at the docks at this Hyatt on his boat which was so easy an amazing. The room itself was just what we needed. It even had a pull out couch. The only complaint was that the bathroom didn't have a fan and steamed up really quickly and the AC was a bit weaker than expected. The water pressure was really strong and nice. It was enough space for four people for a night. Parking was easy to find. And the morning breakfast had a lot of great options. I especially loved that they had oak milk. I would stay at this Hyatt Place again and recommend it!

Inside a mansion that feels like a scene out of the Great Gatsby, Great Oak Manor was my home for a one-night stay on a Sunday to Monday. Here's my experience. 1) Check-In: Once you roll up, a sign directs you to their grand entrance. Park your car, check in, and someone on staff moves your car to the parking lot. Check in is smooth and comes with an old school room key and a card to access the wine area where you can enjoy several kinds of white and red wines. 2) Rooms: There are twelve rooms and suites inside the manor and one carriage house attached in the newer addition to the manor. I stayed on the second floor in the Marmaduke room with views of the water. It's a spacious room with a comfortable king bed, plenty of storage, strong WiFi, outlets everywhere, an iron, robes, and toiletries like mouth wash. The room lets in natural light and the blinds keep the light out at night. 3) Property: The manor comes with a library with many good reads and games. There's a bar and a dining room run by an award-winning chef that creates delicious breakfast, lunch, and dinner for guests. There's a snack area with coffee, snacks, chocolate, wine, and more that's open 14/7. Outside is a large lawn with outdoor games, a hammock, a fire pit, chairs, and a private beach. It's a perfect place to watch the sunset. 4) Service: Everyone I interacted with was professional, friendly, and remembered your name and story. I felt like family. 5) Area: Chestertown is 15 minutes away with lots of history, stores, and restaurants to explore.
