The Whitehaven Hotel is a beautifully restored, historical Bed & Breakfast nestled on the Wicomico River with two docks for visiting boaters and sits beside a 300 year old Ferry (said to be the oldest in the Continental United States). It is a scenic 15 minute ride to Salisbury, Princess Anne or 45 min. ride to the Maryland beaches, but "who needs beaches with our views" and Maryland crabs waiting to be opened and savored only a few minutes down the road. The Whitehaven Hotel provides kayaks and bikes for its guests, I might add that the kayaking is unique with many vistas and waters ways to investigate, while our property is a sanctuary for birds. On any given day you may see eagles, osprey, purple martins, heron, hawks, red winged black birds, humming birds and many more species. It's a gem of a find. Our motto "Enter as Guests and leave as Friends."

I love this place, there will be many return trips! The hotel itself has been meticulously restored and decorated to reflect the original age of the mid 1800s. The furniture, the books, even the bedding are mean to transport you back in time. The location is phenomenal, right on the water and you can sit and enjoy the views and wildlife. This is a place you go to enjoy calm stillness, and just breathe and absorb what life used to be like. I stayed 3 nights with my sister and a friend, and this is my sisters 3rd stay. The staff and Cindy were all fantastic, and breakfast was amazing and different each day. Very clean, and many small thoughtful extras. The review left by 'peggy' is completely off, and it's obvious she can't appreciate antiques, and history and needs to stick to staying at Holiday Inns. …

We were looking for a place to stay for one night in the area and were so lucky to find this beautiful and historic hotel that accommodated our dog as well. The staff were charming, the grounds and views were spectacular, and the setting gorgeous. The Whitehaven is furnished with stunning antiques, even in their dog-friendly Lincoln Room. Breakfast was a work of art and a treat for the palette. We were awed by our stay at Whitehaven and consider ourselves so fortunate to not have stayed in a boring chain hotel. We highly recommend this beautiful retreat.

It’s an old building with a friendly, inefficient staff. The house hits you with the mustiness as you walk in the door, and it never abates. The room was cluttered and small, with an up-to-date bathroom . The parlor furniture is quaint and uncomfortable. Breakfast is rather late, supposedly being served at 9. We were concerned, as we had to leave by 9:30, but were told it would be no problem. At 9:20 there was still no food. My husband was told that they had underestimated how long it would take to prepare breakfast for a full hotel. It was a breakfast casserole, not anything complex like omelets or crepes, so that excuse didn’t hold up. Not likely to come back

Set in a beautiful small town on the Wicomico river this hotel offers peace and quite. The rooms are spacious and staff is wonderful. Was able to enjoy cocktails on the porch and walk around the town (might of had a cocktail with me) Great Resturant’s nearby including our favorite the Red Roost. Can get to Berlin, Pocomoke City, OC with a short drive (including a ferry ride!!)

As a descendant of George Gale and other early Maryland Eastern Shore settlers, I can’t express how happy we were to celebrate our wedding in this lovely location. The Whitehaven Hotel was the perfect place for us to discover, when we searched for a place with family and historical significance, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, for our overseas wedding. The entire staff was so helpful in organizing this big event, while we were still in New Zealand. The Wedding itself went off without a hitch and was the magical day we had dreamed it would be. The Whitehaven Hotel and Cindy Curran are true gems of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

We stayed in this beautiful historic hotel for five nights in July this year and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The Victorian Room was beautifully furnished and had a lovely view of the river. Cindy was an excellent host and prepared a delicious breakfast everyday. We enjoyed a cup of coffee on the porch every morning before breakfast, and it was so quiet and peaceful. Thank you Cindy for making our stay so special.

Within minutes of arrival off the ferry we wished we’d booked more than one night. The stunning location, the comfortable room, the warm welcome and the wine and nibbles supplied, told us straight away that this was gong to be one of he highlights of our three week trip. On the owners recommendation we dined at the nearby Red Roost Crab Shack and then returned to spend a peaceful evening sitting in the porch with the other guests watching Ospreys on a nest just a few feet away. A comfortable night’s sleep and a wonderful breakfast meant we were reluctant to leave. Exactly what a rural B and B should be - highly recommended.

If you want to get off the beaten path, the Whitehaven Hotel is the place to do it. I can't tell you how quiet it is there...the grounds are spectacular, with beautiful flowers...dragon flies and little bunnies everywhere. The osprey nest out front is amazing. You don't have to do anything or go anywhere to just chill out here. The breakfast is amazing and Cindy makes sure there are snacks, wine, and goodies 24/7 for your enjoyment!

A beautifully restored historic hotel on the banks of the Wicomico River furnished with antiques. This is the place to go for a peaceful, quiet and relaxing getaway. We stayed in the Victorian Bedroom with a panoramic view of the river and a working fireplace. The Whitehaven Ferry, circa 1687, docks right in front of the hotel. Cindy the innkeeper was an excellent host and also prepared a delicious gourmet breakfast for us. We enjoyed chatting with Cindy about the history of the hotel and the village. Thank you Cindy for our enjoyable stay.

We'd really rather keep this to ourselves, as it's so incredibly peaceful and beautiful. The Lonely Planet guide describes the setting as "heart melting", which it is. The beautifully restored hotel is fabulous, and Cindy, who lives nearby and runs it, was born to host guests. From the wine and snacks which met us on arrival, to Cindy's wonderful and superbly cooked breakfasts, this small hotel is total heaven. Outside the door is a sign, "Arrive as guests, leave as friends", and that is exactly how it feels.
