5 out of 5Simply the Best!!
May 27, 2013
Our first visit to the Brampton was in July 2011. I took my then fiance for a surprise get-a-way for his birthday. I booked the Mulberry Cottage because on the website it seemed to everything that I was looking for, and when we got there it was simply perfect!! We loved our stay at the Brampton so much, that when we got home from our first visit there we cancelled the trip we had booked elsewhere for our honeymoon and booked our honeymoon in the Olivia Cottage at the Brampton. As soon as we turned into the driveway, we knew that we were someone very special. The main house is simply stunning and so beautifully restored and decorated. The Mulberry and Olivia cottages are further back on the property, private and secluded, which is exactly what we wanted on both trips. They are both extremely well appointed, very spacious and comfortable with great furniture and decor. The steam shower, spa tub and Japanese soaking tub on the screened in porch are all outstanding! Most mornings we had breakfast in our cottage and a few mornings during our honeymoon we actually ventured inside the main house. We really appreciate the flexibility of breakfast times and choices at the Brampton. Each morning- the food was truly delicious and scrumptious! The use of homegrown, homemade and local foods are such a special touch and you can tell that the food is made with love. The afternoon goodies and tea and homemade cookies are such a wonderful treat! The hospitality at the Brampton is hands down, the best! Danielle and Michael are so gracious, accommodating and welcoming. As is Rita, who took such extra, special care of us during our honeymoon. They are exactly what you would want in innkeepers, they are there if you need them, they are extremely friendly and helpful but are never intrusive. We simply love the Brampton Inn and cannot wait to unwind and relax again there in the future!!

February 29, 2012
My husband and are locals. We recently spent our Anniversary at the Brampton Inn in Chestertown. The cottage was elegant and inviting, with the most wonderful amenities. Danielle, the Inn Keeper, was so warm and friendly, making us feel right at home. She made a us a tasty breakfast that was served right to our cottage. We have stayed at many other B&B's but now know that we have found our favorite!! We are already planning our next stay. Although we are locals, we felt miles away. I happily encourage others to plan a stay...you won't be disappointed! Shannon and Mike Hertz
4.4 out of 5Reliably our best weekend of the year
February 21, 2012
My wife and I have spent Valentine's day weekend at the Brampton for 9 years. It is, reliably, our best weekend of the year. Danielle, Rita and Michael have thoughtfully prepared the Inn to ensure that their guests are able to relax and enjoy themselves. We plan to arrive in time for afternoon tea, which always includes sweet and savory options -- the leftover sweets usually accompany the normal array of home made cookies, candies and biscotti which are available with coffee/tea in the sun room at all times. Since our annual visits are in cold weather, we look forward to the lighting the fires that Michael has carefully laid in our hearth. He's adept enough at this that it NEVER requires more than one match to set it ablaze, and there is always enough wood to ensure we're able to enjoy a fire as long iinto the night as we choose. Breakfasts are made to order from locally sourced ingredients, and the offerings usually include an omlette or fritatta, pancakes or waffles. There's always a breakfast bread of some kind along with lovely spreads -- trust me, you'll be very happy that Danielle and Rita are at work in the kitchen on your behalf. There are puzzles/games/reading materials and current/classic DVD's available. Recently the Innkeepers installed wireless internet access throughout the property -- though, frankly, we go to get AWAY from the electronic balls and chains. If you like B&B's you'll LOVE the Brampton Inn and its charming and accomodating Innkeepers. If you're new at the B&B experience, try the Brampton...you'll be a quick convert, but be warned. They set a high bar.

5 out of 5Perfect Weekend Getaway
February 21, 2012
We found the Brampton Inn on line and booked the Olivia Guest Cottage for the weekend 2.18.12. It was our first stay. We were very excited to find that the online description of the cottage lived up to the pictures and what was written. Not many B&B's in our area have the full fireplace that is maintained and kept well stocked during your stay, in room 2-person jet tub, 2-person steam shower and 2-person Japanese soaking tub, refrigerator, huge king-size comfy bed and wet bar...all under one roof! Very secluded, well away from the main house and very relaxing. Breakfasts are fresh, made to order with a great variety and Owner participation at every level. We look forward to another stay in the future. Mike & Jen
5 out of 5Just the best B & B ever for us
December 20, 2011
This B & B was and is the best experience ever for us. We loved the quiet serenity and the service was wonderful. We've been here in the Spring and Winter, and we loved both our visits to the Green Room at Brampton Inn.
4.8 out of 5Antellum Beauty
July 29, 2011
My wife and I recently spent one evening at the Brampton Inn, and we are already checking our calendars to see when we could "sneak away" again to visit. Key to our enjoyment was the beauty of the estate, but the accommodations were luxurious, and our stay was certainly made the more enjoyable by the innkeeper's efforts - we felt pampered and spoiled during our entire, brief stay. Definately 5 stars.
4.8 out of 51st Anniversary Bliss
April 28, 2011
We stayed at Olivia's cottage in October, 2010. These cottages are private and beautifully decorated. Can't say enough about Danielle's cooking. What a perfectly beautiful experience. Thank you Brampton Inn!
