Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Great way to end a great day
Our host Kathy was just great. She gave us some great restaurant choices before we arrived at Rose Cottage. Once at RC, we were able relax in a very comfortable room and common room. We enjoyed our evening and the fabulous breakfast that she prepared. If you are in the Fairplay area, this B&B is not to be missed.

Home-away-from-home
After a wonderful evening at Big Cork Vineyards, we stayed at the Rose Cottage Bed and Breakfast in Fairplay, MD. Just a twenty-minute drive from the vineyards, the Bed and Breakfast was spectacular in so many ways. Not only did the owner meet us at 10:30 p.m., she did so with a smile on her face. Welcome is the word that comes to mind upon meeting Kathy. The accommodations, a private bedroom with ensuite bathroom was well appointed, comfortable, meticulously clean and provided all the comforts of one's own bedroom.
In the morning we joined another couple on the covered patio for a home-made breakfast of fresh fruit, omelettes, pastries, fresh squeezed orange juice, and coffee. Foodies will love the attention to detail, the fresh ingredients and love that went into the preparation.
Such a wonderful gem we found at Rose Cottage Suites. Thank you, Kathy.
Next time we are in the area we will return.
