Welcome to Combsberry, a historic waterfront estate nestled on a secluded cove on an inlet of the Chesapeake Bay. This elegant English Country Manor Home is reminenscent of The Inn at Perry Cabin, also known for its attention to detail and service but at half the cost. It is a hidden jewel located just an hour drive from Annapolis, Md and 90 minutes from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Md. While The Parsonage Inn and The Old Brick Inn are also favorite places to stay in St. Michaels, it might be time to try some place new and different.
Oxford, Md is home to The Oxford-Bellevue Ferry, believed to be the oldest privately operated ferry in the U.S. Service has been continuous since 1836. The Robert Morris Inn is also steeped in history, built by Robert Morris around 1710. His son, Robert Morris, Jr. was known as the "financier of the Revolution". Alas, the restaurant known through the years for its famous crabcakes is no longer in operation but Oxford offers excellent alternatives with Pope's Tavern, Latitude 38, and The Masthead. Outstanding restaurants are par for the course in Talbot County.
Come and celebrate Tabot! Sample, Sip and Savor! This tasting event will feature 17 different restaurants in the surrounding areas. It will take place at The Oaks in Royal Oaks @ 7:00 p.m. Enjoy the bounty of the Eastern Shore and come back to Combsberry Inn to savour that romantic weekend only found at the end of a well travelled road.

You don't need luck to enjoy a romantic weekend getaway on Maryand's Eastern Shore. Welcome to Combsberry Bed and Breakfast, a historic Manor home situated on a tributary off of the Chesapeake Bay. In 1649 Josias Cooper was awarded a grant of 100 acres to transport himself and a woman to Maryland. By the time John Oldman and his wife, Mary, bought the property in 1718 at a purchase price of 21,000 pounds of tobacco and siver, it included 150 acres and some run down tenant houses. He immediately set about building an imposing brick house complete with a stair tower and its winding steps. This stair tower is the ony original structure of this style in Talbot County. Combsberry is one of the earliest two and a haf story houses to be built in the county. Combsberry is located outside of Oxford, Md, one of the first deep water seaports established in the America. Oxford is home to the Robert Morris Inn/Sandaways, as well as Pope's Tavern, nestled in The Oxford Inn.
The Oxford Ferry is one of the oldest known ferries still in existence and makes the trip to St. Michaels memorable. A day trip to St. Michaels includes visiting The Maritime Museum, as well as The Inn At Perry Cabin. But, at the end of the day, one looks forward to returning home to a roaring fire, a Jacuzzi tub and the peace and romance that characterizes the Combsberry Inn. Make that short drive from Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadephia and discover this hidden jewel for yourself.
