"What a treasure! While we thoroughly enjoyed looking at the beautiful handicrafts in each room, we were absolutely wowed by the gourmet breakfasts. From the homemade jams and muffins to the hard to choose from entrees, everything was delicious and we regretted we could not stay another day just for the food! We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the warm hospitality. We shall return."

"We so enjoyed our first stay here on the Maryland shore. Delicious seafood, beautiful water vistas, and two days meandering to Oxford, Cambridge, the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and St. Michaels, fuelled by your hearty breakfasts."

"What a wonderful discovery Sinclair House is for us. The room was both unique and comfortable. The breakfasts were so varied and truly magnificent - the best ever in our experience. Then everything was enriched by the always interesting and informative conversation. It is hard to imagine a better experience. Many thanks!"
