Today, I was emailed this very kind review from a former guest via Tripadvisor.com. Sadly, I cannot recall who they may have been yet I am thrilled to read that they loved their stay at The Combsberry Inn. We strive to ensure that every one of our guests is treated like family, and that they enjoy their stay as much as this couple. We hope that you will come visit us soon.
"My husband and I stayed at Combsberry in August of 2010. We had been in correspondence with the Innkeeper, Abby, for weeks prior to our arrival. She was so pleasant on the phone and via our email correspondence, that we were not surprised that she was just as lovely in person. We stayed in the Oxford Cottage, a free standing house on the property. The Cottage is gorgeous - with a wood fireplace, kitchen, jacuzzi, queen size bed and the most amazing view around. The shelves of the cottage are stocked with various books, games and Abby left us some fresh baked cookies in our kitchen. My husband and I only left the property in the evenings for dinner in Oxford. Otherwise, we were content exploring the houses and grounds, crabbing on the dock, watching the ospreys nest, playing with the resident Cocker Spaniels or reading in the hammock by the water. Breakfast was served in the Main Manor House, built in 1730!!! The house has original hardwood floors, fireplaces, etc. It is absolutely stunning and for history buffs such as us - we couldn't get enough of it. Now, not only is Abby a complete charmer but the girl can cook! She whips everything up from scratch and does so with a shrug of the shoulder. Our first morning she treated us to Sweet Potato Biscuits and Gravy, Locally Grown Berry Smoothies and Cinnamon Steusel Muffins. Day two - Cranberry Rhubarb Crisp with Honey Cinnamon Frozen Yogurt, Brown Sugar Bacon Twirls and Fruit Salad with Lime Ginger Dressing. Even though my husband and I have been married for 30 years, this felt like a second honeymoon for us and we often talk about the weekend there with much nostalgia. Everything that could have been offered to us, was, and Combsberry exceeded our wildest dreams. We will return soon, and we are hoping Abby will still be there to make us laugh with her various tales of life as a newcomer to the glorious Eastern Shore." Read for yourself, here...
