We had many specialized requests and the staff at Kent Manor handled each with efficiency and grace. The rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed, while sitting out on the verandas listening to the frogs and the crickets brought back memories that took me back home to my early farm days! Thanks for making our meeting so great!”

“On Thursday, November 4th I held our annual office retreat at the Kent Manor Inn for the first time. I just wanted to let you know how pleased I was with everything especially the help I received from Chris Phillips. I've done many of these retreats over the years and she's a cut above anyone I've ever dealt with in the past. She's very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and her follow-up is second to none. The other thing I really appreciated is being able to call her and have her answer her phone herself. Never once did I get voice mail. Talk about customer service.

This lady could write the book. She's a great asset to your company.

Everything went perfectly. Your staff was very cooperative. Your chef is to also be complimented. My people are still raving about his crab cakes. I think we cleaned out the Chesapeake Bay of crab that day. The waite staff was excellent. Several of our people booked rooms the night before. All were very pleased with the accommodations.

We're already talking about coming back again next year. Please thank all involved. They helped make the day a huge success. Looking forward to using your facility in the future.”
