Innkeeper Response
We always appreciate when guests inform us of ways we can enhance their stays. And many have had wonderful stays, as can be seen by the large amount of nearly perfect scores we have received here. The only complaint this guest had was when calling us at 10:30 PM to grumble that the homemade cookies we have out every day were all eaten and he wanted some. I explained that I would be baking more the next day but that did not seem to satisfy him. (I hate to think this is all due to his staying out late and not getting any cookies. Perhaps he was upset that we expressed our difficulty with accepting a Large Amount of loose change from this a son's dresser top as partial payment of the bill. In the end we did accept this since he did not have time to go to a bank.) Our coffee and breakfasts are fantastic. Other guests eating the same meal, drinking from the same pot of coffee all expressed their great joy with our offerings. When staying in a city, there is a definite rhythm and background hum of activity. In any home that is at street level, you will have a bit of that sound. Most guests are surprised at how quiet their rooms are. As part of being more eco-conscious, we replace shampoos, conditioners and body butters only when less than half is remaining and his were very much at least half full. If a guest needs more of anything, we are always happy to accommodate. It is very sad for us when a guest will not give us the opportunity to make their stay a delightful one by not communicating his or her needs even when asked, but prefers to make venomous reports on TripAdvisor.com and Bedandbreakfast.com to satisfy their bullying nature. We hope you will continue to read our many, many reviews and see that it is our guests that have made us what we are today, thanks to their praises, ideas and constructive criticism. We know that you will have a great stay when you are here as so very many other guests have had.

Innkeeper Response
We are very sorry not only that this guest did not enjoy our inn as much as many others have, but also did not tell us in person of their feelings in order to give us the opportunity to resolve them. Firmness of mattresses, pillows, etc is a very objective and personal thing and many of our guests have commented to us in person how very well they slept and how wonderfully comfortable their bed was. (You can read in many of our reviews here and on other travel review sites about how comfortable their rooms/beds are.) We appreciate this guests input as we always strive to meet everyone's needs both now and in the future.

Photo Album

One of our many freshly prepared breakfasts, using only the finest produce available.  How does a Mediterranean Omelet with Sweet Potato Biscuit sound?  Or maybe our menu will feature Rosemary Sweet Potato Waffles, Breakfast Bruschetta, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes or Breakfast Break Pudding.  And we always take your special dietary needs into account.We use the freshest local and organic foods, whenever possible.
A surprise of fresh indulgent strawberries and palette pleasing wine,added to any reservation, only further enhances the romantic atmosphere of your stay at Scarborough Fair Bed & Breakfast.Home made sweet treats and beverages are available every afternoon.
The Hickory Vale Room, one of two room swith a private entrance.  This room also has a gas fireplace and double person whirlpool tub/shower.The Round Hill Room, one of two rooms with a double person whirlpool tub/shower and one of four rooms with a gas fireplace.
The Franklin Room, our quietest and coziest room is the ultimate haven in comfort.  It is one of two rooms with a completely private bath across the hall.  Bath robes are provided with this room.View from your bed in the Potomac Room.  One of two rooms with a private entrance.  This room is constantly requested by our many business guests.
The beautiful Baltimore Inner Harbor skyline at night as taken by Cary Werner from the historic Federal Hill Park, just down the street from our bed & breakfast.Boating, long a part of Baltimore's history, continues to play an integral part in the daily life in the Charm City.  You can now start your vacation on Cruise Lines that depart a short distance from the B & B.
Just 6 blocks away lies Oriole Park at Camden Yards.  Another short walk away lies the Ravens' home,  M&T Stadium; as well as the Baltimore Convention Center, Inner Harbor, National Aquarium and many other of the city's most popular attractions.Two of the many ways to tour and experience Baltimore.
