Great, relaxing trip!

We loved our stay at the Tilghman Island Inn. We had a wonderful dinner at the adjoining restaurant on our first night, loved the beautiful views from our room, enjoyed walks all over Tilghman, swam in the pool, and did a lot of relaxing. Sherry and Yasmin were two standout staff members that took great care of us, and all the staff were solid. Thanks!!!

We celebrated my daughters 16Th birthday in Maryland and had the pleasure staying here. They decorated the room with balloons and a card which was so amazing. The rooms are very clean, decorated lovely and the property is beautiful. They though of every detail right down to cold water at the pool and sunscreen if you needed some! I cant wait to go back and see the beautiful fall colors and stay at the inn again:)

Just a great quiet out of the way place to spend some quality time. Very clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful and available. Beautiful setting. The breakfast box setup seemed a little odd at first but I actually found that it's pretty much a perfect light breakfast. Great bar restaurant area. Would like to come back

Really friendly staff! Restaurant was really good as was the service. Not a huge menu, but some really nice entries for everyone. I had the rockfish and scallops - wow! My wife had the pancetta wrapped chicken which she enjoyed also. Weather didn't cooperate so we couldn't enjoy sitting out on the lawn and watching the boat traffic and all the blue herons across the waterway. Killer place I'm sure more into the season. Hope to return either May or early fall.

Going Back In-Season!! Nothing wrong with off-se!

The place was amazing. The desk manager was cordial and fun and gave us a tour of the place. The place was spotless. The bonus which we did not know about was the fireplace in the room! Dinner at the restaurant was excellent - a little pricey but it's Tilghman Island! Breakfast was a little skimpy but 2 great breakfast places down the road! Only real negative was the glass door to the bathroom - no real privacy but could live with it!

Romantic Getaway on the Water

We had the best time at this Inn! They upgraded us to a room with a fireplace and jacuzzi tube which was amazing. The rooms had been recently remodeled and everything was prefect. When we checked in they gave us a tour of the common areas and made us feel as if we were at home. Every staff member we met was very friendly and helpful. We had drinks in the bar and the bar tender was very informative and gave us several ideas on what to do during our stay. The view from the balcony was like something from Sunday Morning on CBS. We highly recommend the Tilghman Island Inn!

Inn was empty when we arrived. There was no way to a glass of wine or food. Room is clean but it has a loud minisplit and a dehumidifier that cycles in the bathroom. The most annoying thing was a transparent glass door between the bathroom and bedroom making privacy impossible for a family traveling together. We used a towel to block the door partially. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was awful. I regret that we paid twice the cost of a chain hotel.
