Day One: Soak Up the Sun

After a restful night’s sleep, wake up in your charming cottage or suite and get ready to spend the day at the beach or at the picturesque haven-like Betterton Beach. The Chesapeake Bay sets a stunning backdrop for sunbathing, taking in beautiful views, and exploring the sparkling seas. Whether you’re up for swimming, boating, birding, or simply walking along the sand, you’re sure to enjoy your time outside. When you’ve worked up an appetite, head to one of the fabulous nearby restaurants we love and get a taste for what Chestertown has to offer.

Day Two: Shop ‘Til You Drop

After a hot cup of coffee and a delicious complimentary breakfast, head downtown to visit unique shops and peruse local art galleries. Start by admiring the work at The Artists’ Gallery and fuel your appreciation for creativity with fresh inspiration. Then stroll through some of Chestertown’s stores that pique your interest to purchase a new book to read during your vacation, a souvenir to take home, or hunt down a special treasure at the Dixon’s Auction Sale and Farmers Market. There’s truly something for everyone!

Day Three: Explore the Great Outdoors

It would be a shame to let your Maryland vacation come and go without some dedicated time immersing yourself in nature. Get out and explore the great outdoors with an energizing hike on one of our recommended trails or enjoy some time admiring the gardens and gorgeous landscaping that blankets our own 35 acres. For more fun in the sun, set sail with our curated Sailing Package and enjoy a romantic cruise and delicious dinner. After a long fulfilling day, you can retreat back to your home away from home for another peaceful night at our luxurious bed and breakfast.

Day Four: Sip, Savor & Luxuriate

While your fourth and final day at Brampton Inn may be bittersweet, make it one to remember. Spend the day together unwinding with a relaxing in-room massage by our preferred Massage Orbit provider or ask us for more recommendations. Then meander over to Crow Vineyard and Winery where you can become a wine connoisseur and delight in tastings and a romantic dinner for two back at the Inn. If you’d rather stay close to home you can sip and savor in the comfort of your room while watching the sun set on your last day at our historic inn.
