The Whitehaven Hotel

Convenient waterfront location near Salisbury with nearby dining options. Guests appreciate clean, well-maintained rooms, comfortable beds, and outstanding breakfast quality. Staff provides exceptional, accommodating service.

My husband and I spent our first wedding anniversary weekend at Whitehaven Hotel and I truly cannot think of a better place to celebrate this milestone! We truly had a wonderful time. The innkeeper Cindy was easy to communicate with and was very understanding when we notified her that we would get in well after the allotted check-in time on Friday. Once we got settled, we explored our room and porch as we were lucky enough to stay in the Victorian Room. We woke up to the smell of breakfast and were amazed by the waterfront views of the Wicomico River from our room. Breakfast is served at 9am which is the perfect time - not too early and not too late in my opinion. We met Cindy and the rest of her kind and attentive staff, and they all made us feel right at home. After a delicious meal of homemade quiche, tomatoes, orange juice, and coffee, we were ready to explore the grounds and area surrounding the hotel. We used the available kayaks to check out the marsh, and rode bikes about 20 minutes to the Red Roost restaurant, where we hopped on a shuttle to the Bull Lips dockside bar. That evening we relaxed on the hotel's beautiful front porch and watched the cute duck trio wander around as the ferry brought cars across the river. We had dinner at the Green Hill Country Club, which is only about a 10 minute car ride from the hotel. After dinner we played games in the sitting room area of the hotel. Breakfast the next morning consisted of a delicious strawberry and blueberry crepe, eggs, bacon, orange juice, and coffee. We browsed the gift shop and bought some of Cindy's home roasted coffee. I highly recommend a stay at Whitehaven Hotel if you want to feel like you truly got away and are in need of fresh air and some cozy, kind, and welcoming hospitality!

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
