Review from Chris D.

This place is truly a class act! My wife and I stayed here for a friends wedding. If you're coming here for a wedding make sure you book early because there are limited rooms and the pricy ones end up being the only ones left to reserve. We ended up with one of the classiest rooms and while it cost more we enjoyed every moment of it. Fireplace, double jacuzzi, beautiful art covering the room, morning breakfast in bed, and of course an amazing house and grounds. The staff were impeccable and worked non-stop to please every guest. The house grounds are well maintained and capture the feel of the 1800's.
My one complaint is not against the hotel but Taneytown. The city is mired by construction and is dilapidated. If you go to Antrim, go to enjoy the house and stay there. The countryside is great but the city proper is an eyesore. -

The Antrim 1844 is a hidden gem. It's a bit out of the way but worth the drive. It's a beautiful inn and restaurant. The grounds are well manicured gardens dotted with fountains and rose bushes. It really is a perfect setting for an outdoor wedding. As soon as you step inside the Antrim, you feel like you've been transported to a bygone era. You enter a center hall with rooms flanking the hallway. The rooms are decorated with antiques and decor reminiscent of its past glory.
We started with drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres in the main house. My favorites included the parmesan tarts, lamb on goat cheese rounds (great textural contrasts and flavors) and scallops wrapped in bacon then coated in panko (basic yum). We then took a short walk to the pavilion where the wedding festivities took place. The food was a perfect representation of the couple, grilled sirloin with hint of a soy marinade, crab stuffed quail, cheesy potato gallette and asparagus spears. I think it was a good execution for a large party.
I was impressed with the food, service and ambiance. It was great to revisit the Antrim for a wedding after dining here several years ago. It's a great place for a special occasion. They have an extensive wine list and they start off with passed hors d'oeuvres in the receiving room before being seated for dinner, a very unique experience. I look forward to returning! -

Very romantic bed and breakfast...unfortunately, I was there for a business function, and the accommodations aren't terribly business friendly. The wi-fi is spotty, at best, and the rooms are not meant for business travelers (not enough desk space, no fridge).
That said, I have to give Antrim 1844 four stars because they went above and beyond to accommodate the company we were with. Food was amazing, service was excellent. This is definitely a place that we will consider for a romantic getaway in the future.
Great place to get away from it all... -

Had dinner this past Saturday night (yeah i know...Valentine's weekend isn't the best time to see a restaurant's true potential) but it is an amazing and romantic place.
Beautiful ambiance and table settings are elegant. Food was not so great though-right out of a cruise ship dining room, and the hectic and confusing "scatter" service by the staff was annoying. Three different people would bum rush you for an order then you couldn't find anyone to actually place your order!
Ordered an expensive wine from their impressive wine list only to see the wine steward whisk my bottle away from the table after i asked her to decant it! Then towards the end, she upended the decanter with all the debis into my friend's wine glass. Clearly the wine service needs to match a list that is over an inch thick with wines in the thousands of dollars
They have a way to go in order to have the food and service match the property.
As it is the only game in town, i doubt they have any real competition. -

Very nice B&B . . . but a bit pricey.
The restaurant makes the visit very special. Go for the day and dine in luxury. Michael Gettier, the chef, is great.
Since it is far from anyplace . . . it is a great getaway for a long weekend.
Top location for a wedding. -

A luxurious country inn that caters to you as soon as you drive onto the circular path to their extensive grounds, and a perfect weekend getaway for amazing food and utter relaxation.
Highlights included:
Personalized menus for the six-course seasonal dinner, afternoon tea upon arrival, butlered hors d'oeuvre service and cocktails before dinner in the beautifully-appointed drawing room of the main Antrim mansion, pianist in both the drawing room and dining room, fireplaces with real wood everywhere, added bonus of festive Christmas decor everywhere, a gracious sommelier named Sia who helped us choose an amazing Behrens & Hitchcock Syrah to accompany our dinner, Calvin the talented and spirited pianist, delicious salmon & foie gras quenelles appetizer, grapefruit granita as an intermezzo, snow-covered lawns and tree branches, continental breakfast delivered to your room, jacuzzi tubs, fireplace in your bedroom, beautifully-restored antebellum furnishings and a little stepstool to get to your king-size bed, and so much more.
Don't forget to stop by Baugher's apple farm on the way back to Baltimore on 140 to get more of the rustic, small town feel before the city sights and sounds hit you upon your return. -

We went here for my birthday and they greeted me with "Happy Birthday" and put "Happy 21st Birthday" on the menu. They have a wide selection of interesting food (like peach curry soup, stuffed duck, etc) and they have vegan entrees. Unfortunately, they also have foie gras, so it isn't an animal friendly place.
The dessert is always the best part, we had gourmet smores with fresh marshmallow. I had stuffed lobster for my entree, it was rich and buttery.
Even though my boyfriend and I are younger than the typical Antrim crowd (21, not 41), they still treat us with respect and give us great service. I highly recommend eating here for a special occasion. -

This is a wonderful romantic getaway. The staff pampers you from the time you arrive. We had tea in the afternoon and had dinner in their restaurant at night. Dinner included passed hors d'oeurves before being seated as well as a 6-course meal. The food was great and it was a nice slow paced 2 hour meal. The wine list is extensive, over 2,400 bottles. We enjoyed a scotch (one of 50 offered) in the pub. The next day, a light breakfast tray was delivered outside our door and we later went down to a full country breakfast. I would try to stay in one of the outbuildings next time because there was a wedding party that was socializing in the lobby and we could hear them.

Underdevelopment.
Day 1: ice in the room when arrived nice to be able to have a ice cold drink upon arrival. No phone in room. No desk area to put laptop. Might be on purpose. This is a getaway spot. Very good first impression.
More to come. -

Not even for $5.00....From the arrival to the attempt to notify the general mgr of the problems following the stay.... all has been extremely disappointing. I have to say I could not possibly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone with standards and expectations of class.
