Wow! Oxford, Maryland and the Ruffled Duck are like one of those charming scenes out of "Mayberry RFD". Joyce met us at the front door, took us through the house, advised us on places to eat, see etc...of course you can walk everywhere. Our room was at the top of the stairs and had an individual a/c unit so we... More

The B&B is very quaint. Joyce and Ed are very nice, very welcoming, and very accommodating. We had to leave early one morning, missing their wonderful breakfast, but they insisted we not leave in the morning without taking something with us, so they had fruit and scones ready for us to take on our way out. The rooms are unique... More

The Ruffled Duck was, in many ways, a spur of the moment decision for my wife and I to just get away from life for a long weekend in January. We knew we wanted to head over to the Eastern Shore having never been there other than on drive throughs down 19 to VA and now being DC residents, figured... More

The family was so welcoming and warm. We had a great weekend!

The B&B we were scheduled to stay at on Tighlman Island cancelled at the last minute due to hurricane Irene evacuation orders. We were already nearby and it was our anniversary.

Atmosphere/decorations were whimsical and very charming but at the same time it was clear whoever was maintaining the rooms paid very close attention to detail. Breakfasts were gourmet and delicious. As for Oxford, it's a pretty sleepy town but if you are looking for a romantic escape then you... More

Such a cute B&B! The proprietors were lovely. We had the West Indies room. The fairly large private bath was across the hall. Not a problem for me. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The AC made the room very comfortable on an unusually warm weekend. We enjoyed two breakfasts at the Inn. Both were excellent! They'll be enough... More

Our hosts and their family were very hospitalble and helpful. The decor was terrific and our room was very private and large with a comfortable bed. It was a short walk to a great restaurant for dinner.

The Ruffled Duck was absolutely one of my most favorite stops on the Eastern Shore. The Inn keepers Joyce and Dennis were very down to earth and genuine folks that made me and my 15 month old baby feel very welcome. The house was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious-I was full all day! Make sure not to miss it!
