HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!…read more My Sir (yes, I literally call him that because he is such a sexy Sicilian gentleman and always dresses to the 9's!) is taking me away here for my birthday. It's my first one with him in my life :) I was blown away when we walked up to the main house, toured inside of ours, had tea, a cozy night and breakfast. He breakfast was nithing shoet of amazing! The star was the Blueberry Stuffed French Toast casserole - like OMG insanely delicious!!! I kind of had three servings! Many other perfect choices too, like English muffins, fruit, yogurt, granola). Our room is done in dark reds and boasts cherrywood. Also, beautiful prints and furniture. We had a romantic evening with the jacuzzi, (gas) fireplace and cloud cozy King sized bed! Stellar service from all - Sam and Amanda in particular. They do A LOT here! We MAY leave the room today, lol. Walking Washington Street is a possibility. MAYBE the Zoo... I lived in Cape May many moons ago. A definite place to visit- you will always have somewhere to go and somewhere to eat! Splurge on the decadence of The Queen Victoria!!! You're worth it!!!

This was our first visit to this charming B&B and it was truly a positive & memorable experience. It's located within the heart of Cape May, so walking distance to a myriad of restaurants and shops and only one block from the beach. The amenities are unbeatable - beach cruiser bikes, beach chairs and towels, lots of outdoor porches to relax on and read, and an outdoor shower. The breakfasts are delicious (we had an egg/cheese entree with ham the first day & a stuffed French toast with sausage patty the 2nd day) The daily morning and afternoon baked goods were delicious (especially the assorted breads with homemade strawberry jam!) The owners (Doug & AnnaMarie) are extremely warm and welcoming and go above and beyond & to ensure every guest felt safe during the COVID pandemic (great social distancing, mask awareness, plastic shields as needed & hand sanitizer). A well stocked 24 hr kitchen with plentiful bottled water as well. Lots of extras that you don't find in other B&Bs. They also immediately alerted us when my wife left her pocketbook behind at breakfast. You can tell that the management truly cares about making this place a great experience for their guests without cutting any corners. It's truly a beautiful property with lots of outdoor space and charming rooms each unique & all very well-maintained, extremely clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing but wonderful things to say about the Queen Victoria & we hope to be back again soon!

We stayed in the "Sussex" room which had plenty of space, a clawfoot tub, and a huge king sized bed. There is a very loud fire siren, and a train that go nearby so my first night's sleep wasn't the best - however, I don't want that to be a reason for a lower rating. The mansion is beautiful inside and out. Antiques everywhere, so much history. And the breakfast was so much better than I could have ever imagined! Jan really gets the guests to mingle, and socialize - he is a great guy. His husband, Joey, is also a fantastic host and made the delicious breakfast for us each day. Staying in October meant that we were able to enjoy some of the fall foliage, and even ate breakfast in the courtyard. If we ever come back to this area, there is no doubt in my mind that we would stay at Causey Mansion - it is a gem!

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.

Round corner past hammock to outdoor shower w/ footpath to screened-in porch housing Japanese soaking tub. We enjoyed strolls on property with chickens, a friendly cat, & a mini forest of bamboo. Main house has wrap around porch perfect for afternoon tea & socializing, but it was difficult to leave our little oasis with King bed, above mounted TV, peek-thru to bathroom with steam shower & jetted tub. Wood burning fireplace, wet bar, & seating area. Windows and ceiling fans abound for comfort. Breakfast delivered to door for which we were demanding gremlins always asking for more. Non-intrusive staff drops & retrieves. In-room massage was among best I've had. Not a ton to do in area, but nice walkable downtown with specialty shops. We visited during Sultana Downrigging Festival & were plenty entertained. 30 min drive to Chesapeake City will get you waterfront dining & New Orleans inspired steak house.

During a Sunday drive on route 9, came upon Augustine Tavern. SO. INCREDIBLY.PERFECT. First: historic vibe without pretension. It's not oh-so-Annapolis touristy waterfront. It's more "been here since 1814 and still serving a good drink to travelers and locals." Food is varied and delicious. I prefer briney oysters, so their freshwaters were not my favorite, but the French Onion soup was rich and thick with cheese and bread. Their martinis were icy top shelf, and their happy hour was fabulous prices. I almost hesitate to advertise how good this place is. I don't want you to go because I like my seat at the bar. But, hey, it really is that good. Go for the Sunday drive. You won't regret it.

From the very first lesson, Ms. Renee created a warm, supportive, and professional environment that helped my girls build both skill and confidence. Her teaching style is patient and encouraging, yet she challenges them just enough to help them grow as riders and competitors. They've recently started competing, and the transformation has been incredible to watch. Not only are they developing as athletes, but they're also learning discipline, focus, and responsibility--life lessons that go far beyond the barn. Most importantly, they absolutely *love* every moment they spend with Ms. Renee and the horses. It's clear that this is more than just riding lessons--it's a passion being nurtured with care and expertise. We are so grateful for the joy and growth this experience has brought to our daughters!
