Cozy fire/bar area
Jason C.

Went here for a romantic weekend with my fiancé. This is a great place to stay if you are looking for a cozy beautiful hotel with great views! It was cold so we didn't go outside much. The people that work here are so nice and helpful! From booking online (they called is a bit after) to ideas of things to do around town. If you want a new fancy hotel with all the amenities, this is not for you. The room did not have a tv, but plenty of signal for our phones. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! Included with our stay was breakfast! The food was amazing and the staff was super nice! All in all, I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We are staying overnight in Easton for an anniversary, and I made our dinner reservation at the Robert Morris Inn in Oxford. It was a perfect evening. I love history. The drive through the countryside from Easton to Oxford is lovely. The Robert Morris Inn is at the very end of the road, right on the water. They do have outside tables on the patio, but it was threatening rain, so we ate inside. It is a historic tavern. The food was excellent, from start to finish. Our server was pleasant and the food came out promptly. My husband ordered a mixed drink, and I had a glass of wine. We shared the Eastern Shore crab salad, which is lump crab wrapped in paper thin cucumber slices--a very pretty presentation. My husband had fish & chips, which he demolished. I ordered the shrimp curry, which was really delicious. I almost licked the sauce off my plate. We shared a slice of Smith Island cake. It was a very memorable anniversary dinner, and we walked down to the water to enjoy the sunset afterward. Perfect. This place is a gem.

Lovely fireplace

Patrick Kane, bartender extraordinaire and super server made our night! From the beautifully crafted Elderflower Pear Martini to the perfect menu guidance, the evening was lovely, due in no small part to Kane. The oyster pot pie was perfectly balanced with sweet oysters and rich "gravy". It's common knowledge that the Robert Morris burger is a keeper, but the fries...crispy outside, soft interior, salty...exactly what fries should be. With spirited live music in the background and the glow of the fireplace, ambience was en pointe! Thank you to the wonderful Robert Morris Inn!

Comfortable bed: King size

My wife and I stayed at RMI in early April, so very out of the tourist season. If 3 and a half stars were an option, I'd pick that but I rounded up here. I really want to empathize the positives here because the negatives are nitpicky things but are notable. The pros, in no particular order: The room was clean The bed was very comfortable Staff was friendly and very responsive Great view of the bay, Chesapeake that is. Breakfast was a great value ($20 credit use or lose) Parking was easy There is a tavern/restaurant attached Free WiFi The cons, also in no particular order: No Kleenex in the room No Mini fridge, ice was only available from the office Ridiculously small bathroom (see photo) Stuffy room, even with the windows open but they did provide a small fan No elevator, so I hope you're okay with stairs Spotty WiFi service but it's free Also, no tv is provided in the room, which they advertise, so personal preference if that is good or bad. There are a number of B&B's in the area, so choose wisely, but RMI will do their best for you.

Oxford is a protected harbor for watermen who harvest oysters, crabs, clams, and fish once Maryland's largest port of call and is still an important center for boat building and yachting.  Sailboats and yachts gently pass by well-manicured landscapes of the stylish historic homes.  With approximately 700 residents, the town's charming and unique characteristics give you a glimpse of small-town America.   Staff at the Robert Morris Inn have made changes in their day-to-day operations and are following CDC guidance for your safety. Built-in 1710 and operating as an Inn since 1800, this is the oldest full-service Inn in the United States. Important historical figures such as the First President of the United States, George Washington stayed in their 310-year-old rooms.   The first floor houses the formal Dining Room, Salter's Tavern, and the Tap Room, seating up to 170 customers; the 14 historic bedrooms are located on the second and third floors. Adding to the historical value the original wood paneling, red brick fireplaces, and oak timbers are all as they were 310 years ago, hand-built by ship carpenters from locally acquired materials and the red bricks used as ships ballast from England. The Inn has been enlarged several times since its first use as a private home. The staircase which leads to the guest rooms is the enclosed type of the Elizabethan period and was built before 1710. The flooring in the upstairs hall is Georgia white pine. The nails were hand made, and the 14-inch square beams were fastened with hand-hewn oak pegs. Four of the guest rooms (rooms 1, 2, 15 & 17) have handmade wall paneling from earlier periods, and fireplaces built of brick made in England, and the Tavern's slate floor came from Vermont.   Now I have read several accounts of guests saying that the Inn is haunted. I can tell you I'm a skeptic and don't believe in ghost stories and we didn't experience anything out of the ordinary. The house is old and if you like old historical buildings like me then you know they creek, make weird noises and have strange smells occasionally. This historic home is just like all the others in that sense and I love it. My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Robert Morris Inn, now it could use a bit of updating but then I would have to say you would lose that historic feel. If you want all the conveniences of the modern-day then go stay in a fancy hotel with elevators and motion sensor lighting. If you want that down-home country feel with that experience of staying in a historic home from the 1700s then this is the place for you. Don't take the lack of modern conveniences for a place where you won't enjoy your time. We loved every minute of our experience.              We had a delightful experience staying at the inn with a wonderful dinner and breakfast. Chef-Partner of the Robert Morris Inn Mark Salter knows what he is doing! Chef Salter can be found in the kitchen focusing on all the fresh seafood the Chesapeake Bay has to offer. I had the Robert Morris Inn jumbo lump crab cake, sautéed zucchini, and squash with French tarragon, tomato, and lemon butter sauce. My wife had the tenderloin of beef with sautéed spinach, butternut squash, caramelized onion mashed potatoes, and burgundy sauce. We also had breakfast the next morning we both had the Grand Marnier French Toast with powdered sugar and strawberries, I had a side of scrapple and she had the bacon. Both breakfast and dinner were fantastic and we would recommend that if you are in the area or are staying in the area that you try the food here.

I love this place. We come here every year for a couple days. The Inn is very historic. The food is very good at the restaurant located on the premises. Bike rentals and kayak rentals on location. The location is wonderful on the Tred Avon River

I love the Eastern…read moreShore and whenever I see a beautiful, historic, pet-friendly B&B - all the boxes are checked for an excellent getaway. I had visited St. Michaels before and Oxford is a few miles down the road and is a much quieter gem of a place to visit. Combsberry Inn has a long, tree lined driveway which is the first indication that you are visiting an old, special place. The house was built in the 1700's and all of the rooms have a beautiful view of the water. We stayed in the Oxford Cottage which is a separate building aptly nicknamed, "the dollhouse". It is the only pet-friendly accommodation but I am happy that's where we stayed because it was adorable and classy at the same time. We had a wood-burning fireplace with a starter log and more wood on the patio. There is a nice jacuzzi for two and vases with fresh flowers throughout the cottage. The bedroom is in the loft so it's only a full size bed but it's cozy. My only minor gripe is that the bed was too firm for my tastes, but my husband had no complaints. There are windows everywhere for great breezes. There is also a kitchen with a stove for any cooking you may want to do, a small fridge, and a microwave. You can sit on your patio and gaze at the water or walk down to the dock to look at the nesting ospreys (really!). Our dogs really loved running around the backyard and sleeping by the fireplace. They also have some books that we used and it was nice to disconnect with no tvs around. Best of all, breakfast and coffee is delivered to your doorstep at 9 am so you have no reason to get up early. We had homemade cinnamon buns, yogurt, and fresh fruit. I hope to come back sometime when the canoes and kayaks are ready for use to check out the beautiful waterways. The Robert Morris Inn is only a 5 minute drive away and is a great place to grab a romantic dinner. FYI - if you hear any crazy "screams" in the middle of the night, you are hearing the foxes! We saw a fox jump in front of our car too - so be careful driving around at night.

First off the staff is wonderfully pleasant - happy to answer any and all questions and very accessible without being overbearing. Because there was no one else at the inn they upgraded us from the one-bedroom cottage to the two-bedroom carriage house, free of charge. They are pet friendly and our little mutt certainly loved running around the extra space as well as the huge grounds. The house itself was the perfect eastern shore experience; country-quaint meets modern convenience. There was a fully upgraded kitchen, a large living room with gas fireplace, half bathroom, and a formal dining area. Each bedroom (which are located on opposites sides of the house, great for couples or families!) has it's own gas fireplace, four post king bed and bathroom with jacuzzi tub. The highlight, in my opinion, is the floor to ceiling windowed doors across the living room that give you a beautiful view of the grounds leading right up to the water. The technology offerings are low (an old tv without cable and dvd player provide the living room entertainment while their is only wireless internet available in the main house library) it is absolutely perfect for a "get-away-from-it-all" style vacation. In the morning the staff brings a basket with breakfast - muffins, bread pudding, smoothies and orange juice. While we came here on a deal, the regular prices are great for the experience and privacy you get (395 for the cottage or 700 for the full carriage house). We look forward to returning when the weather picks up a bit so we can take advantage of swimming and kayaking right off the property.

Window of the the water with a great view from our room. Room was neat and bed was comfortable. Stayed for the weekend, breakfast both days was good. French toast, eggs and sausage morning one. Morning two eggs or pumpkin pancakes. Both were great. Only negative was the shower in our room. It was a stall shower, which we knew, but the water pressure was terrible. It also took about 10 minutes to come to a warm temp, I felt bad running the water that long. All and all great stay. I'd 100% suggest this place for a weekend getaway.

Before we left I planned a surprise sailing cruise for my fiancé and Aida left a sweet note about the gift from me and vouchers for complimentary gelato around the corner for us. She is so accommodating even when a few little things didn't go as planned for us. (Car trouble, weather... not her doing at all but she made them easier to manage.) She has great suggestions for what to do in St. Michael's. Breakfast was set up beautifully in the morning and cooked to order. Portions were huge if you wanted them. We are lighter eaters and once I told her that she gave us perfect smaller portions, but if you want a big breakfast you will not be disappointed here. The inn only has about eight rooms, and each is different. Ours was very comfortable with flowers, art and antiques wherever I looked. There's central air and the softest towels I think I've ever used. She lets you keep stuff in the fridge and even said we could use her laundry when my fiancé sat on something and messed up his pants. We had leftovers when we needed to leave and she gave us a styrofoam cooler to take with us... that will be used a lot this summer, I'm sure. The location is walking distance to most things in town, so while there is off street parking, we walked most of the time. You can't go wrong here with Aida's Victoriana Inn! Note, though, a lot of businesses and restaurants in town are operating at partial capacity or reduced hours, or are closed due to Covid 19. This has nothing to do with the Victoriana Inn, but it is worth calling ahead if you have specific things you want to do while in town to make sure they're available. We had to shift some dining plans but it was a last minute getaway and we didn't care all that much. It a worked out but if you have your heart set on something, check in advance to make sure you'll be able to do it.

Sat outside in the early morning and watched the sun rise over a cove. Took out kayaks and paddleboards in the afternoon, and then had a drink. Ate dinner one night at the restaurant, and it was good. The breakfasts were fresh-cooked each morning, and substantial. They have a Keurig and other free drinks 24/7, which is good for me because I wake up before dawn. We did have a couple of minor problems, but the staff took care of them immediately and without any fuss. I really appreciate that type of service because often you get a reluctant and slow response, or the hotel doesn't have the resources to fix the problem. If there's one thing to warn about, it's that The Oaks is heavily into the wedding business, and that drives its entire strategy. So you can't get a room on a weekend if there's a wedding booked, and you can't get into the restaurant for dinner, either. And thus on the nights when you can get into the restaurant, it's typically full because folks from the nearby towns like to come, plus the hotel guests. If you see a complaint on Yelp, most likely it's due to the rather limited access to the restaurant and the weird rules about when it's available. In sum, this is an expensive place, but it's worth it for a quiet, romantic, scenic getaway.

Upon arrival we were given a tour of the hotel which included the bar and restaurant. Room was very spacious and clean, plenty of drawer storage space but not a lot of closet space. Bathroom was gorgeously designed, opened, and had very nice heated floors! The bed was also super comfortable. Can hear music from the restaurant downstairs, would definitely recommend bringing a white noise machine. Breakfast is chef made & included in your stay, which was so convenient & delicious!! The hotel is around a 10 min drive to St. Michael's. On our last night we got stuck on the western side of the Bay Bridge & had to detour around the Chesapeake. We called the hotel & they graciously gave us a late check out the following afternoon. Staff is very attentive & kind! We will definitely be back in the peak season!!
