Scarborough Fair Bed & Breakfast is perfectly situated for business and pleasure travelers. Located in the heart of the historic district of Federal Hill, only 2 blocks from the Inner Harbor, 4 blocks from the Convention Centers and central business district, and a short walk to the sports venues. Scarborough Fair is a Georgian-style building. Its gabled and dormered roof and bricks laid in Flemish bond indicate it is one of the oldest structures in the neighborhood, dating to 1801. A block east on Montgomery, one can view the original cobblestone paving typical of the area in the 1800's. One block further, the visitor who climbs the steps to Federal Hill is rewarded with the best panoramic view of the Baltimore harbor. Also nearby in the Federal Hill community are wonderful small bistros, quaint shops and the renowned Cross Street Market, where residents and visitors shop for fresh meats, produce and seafood. Relax in your room upon arrival and take with you a complimentary beverage from the dining room cupboard, where ice in abundance is always available. In late afternoon, you'll find sweet treats in the dining room as well. Pull something from the shelf of the cozy library/gathering room - perhaps a volume which tells you the history of Federal Hill, or a brochure suggesting activities for your stay.

Located just two blocks from Inner Harbor, an easy and safe walk. Purple bus stop just 1/2 block way. Parking very convenient, located at an off street lot. Many restaurants within two block area. The breakfasts were excellent and different from the normal breakfast menu. Rooms nicely decorated and clean. Sheets and towels were the highest quality. Owners very helpful in making the most of our Baltimore two night visit. We definitely plan on staying here again!
4.8 out of 5Great Experience - Incredible Breakfast
November 26, 2012
I stayed two nights at the Scarborough Fair B&B and it was great. I had an incredible room (The Hickory Vale room) with a giant jet tub. It was really nice. The overall feel of the place makes you very much at home. I arrived late the first night and there were cookies waiting for me when I got there. And the real show stopper is breakfast. The continental breakfast is amazing on it's own, but the full breakfast is worth every penny. One of the best breakfasts I think I have ever had. Everything is made fresh on site and it tastes that way. I want to go back just for breakfast.

This is our second visit to Scarborough Fair and again it did not disappoint us. It is such an ideal location just a few blocks from the inner harbor and a short walk from the Light Rail that you can pick up at the airport. We were warmly greeted by Lauren and the smell of fresh baked cookies filled the bottom floor. We like a room on the first floor which allows us to get in and out of our room from Montgomery Street. Breakfast is always a delicious adventure. We love trying new recipes and we have never been disappointed here. Breakfast is also a great opportunity to meet all the interesting guests. Each morning we lingered longer than usual at the breakfast table. There are the usual amenities like daily newspapers, juice, ice, fruit, DVDs, etc. but it is the personal attention that makes Scarborough Fair so special.

I have stayed at this lovely, charming B and B twice and both times it was just a pleasure. The rooms are immaculate. The bathroom, spotless and I am fastidious. I came for business but it was just so comforting to know that there was a nice place to stay in after a long day of meetings. Parking is easy, you can come at any time they will leave you a lock box with a key. You can even get a business rate at certain times of the year. I have many diet restrictions and left very early for my meetings so Barry made sure that I had a "to go" breakfast that included, nuts, fruit and berries, non dairy yogurt and soy milk for my coffee all organic and amazing. They really go out of their way to make sure your needs are met, which is so important when you are far from home and I can easily get sick on food that you are not used to. Oh and the chocolate crabs on your pillow is a nice little treat! It is just nice to stay at an establishment in which the people are so kind and make you feel so comfortable. I would never stay any place else while in Baltimore.

Loved our stay in Baltimore that was only enhanced by Scarborough Fair. Great location with outstanding breakfasts and a nice clean room with all the little extra things that can't be beat.
5 out of 5Amazing Stay
August 19, 2012
We could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Attention to detail from start to finish was incredible. Barry, one of the owners, even called our cell to provide assistance with directions when we were later than anticipated for arrival. Room, inn, staff, hospitality, and amenities were absolutely wonderful. The neighborhood was easy to navigate, parking was a breeze, and the location was easily accessible. One could not ask for a more welcoming, relaxing, hospitable stay.
5 out of 5The easiest part of my trip planning
August 05, 2012
There is one thing on my frequent trips to Baltimore that I can count on. Scarborough Fair being the smoothest part of the trip. Barry and now Conor always handle my requests seamlessly. Last minute bookings, very late night check ins, are standard with my schedule and they handle it without hesitation. The location is perfect for the sports arenas. I walk. And also to Federal Hill while being far enough away to be out of the noisy zone. The tub alone is worth the price but the breakfasts are sumptuous!
