If you're considering a trip here, you are in for a treat! The inn's gracious hosts, Barbara and David, will welcome you each morning with a delicious, generous, multi-course breakfast the likes of which is very unusual for a bed and breakfast in both quality and quantity. Typical fare includes fresh fruit salads with yogurt toppings, assorted scrumptious homemade breads, and a hot egg dish (such as Barbara's "world famous eggs"). Weather permitting; breakfast is served in a 3-season room off a beautifully maintained garden where plants, butterflies, cats and ducks coexist in harmony. Afternoon tea is offered most days, and is an impressive affair with tea sandwiches, homemade cakes and tarts, and the most amazing freshly baked scones, still warm from the oven.
One of the things that we love about the area is that there is as much or as little to do as one pleases. The Inn has bicycles available for the more energetic guests, as the area is relatively flat and great for biking. They also have sand chairs for those bound for the expansive beach on the adjoining Assateague Island. The nature refuge on Assateague can be explored by foot, car, or bicycle, depending upon one's inclination, and kayaks can be rented in town for one's water explorations. If you enjoy shopping, The Channel Bass Inn is within close walking distance to the eclectic mix of merchants on Main Street, as well as several wonderful restaurants. The back garden of the Inn beckons for your morning mediation, to slip into with a glass of wine in the evening, or to enjoy a good book before twilight falls.
The rooms are all charming, comfortable and immaculate, but each one is appointed differently. Some have small refrigerators, and the room we normally stay in is a suite with a separate sitting area.
This review would not be complete without a warning: be forewarned, this place can be addictive! We've just returned from our yet another visit – our 16th over the past 13 years!
