10 Clarke

Stayed the night at 10 Clarke for my birthday, everything was fantastic from the time we walked in and offered a glass of wine, to the incredible breakfast the next morning. the room was cozy and comfortable, the house itself is beautiful and Monique is a wonderful host. Next time I need to spend the night in Frederick, it will be at 10Clarke!

Lovely place to stay when visiting Frederick. Went for my anniversary and stayed in the Poet’s Loft. Monique was wonderful and gave us some great recommendations. Super comfy bed, lots of space and private bath. Loved the eclectic décor throughout the house and the back yard with fire pit. The house is a piece of art and breakfast in the am was just as good as dinner the night before at Volt. Located a short walk to downtown, it’s perfectly located. This is my first bed and breakfast experience. I never thought I’d enjoy one, but 10 Clark changed my mind– we will be back!!!

My husband and I stayed last weekend with a wedding party and Monique made our stay really special. The house is beautiful, and every room is it’s own experience. I can’t say enough about how much love Monique and her husband Bob put into the house to make it unique! Saving the best for last… Monique makes incredible meals that bring everyone around the table together. She is careful with ingredients and dietary restrictions, but somehow everything she made was so good! Her chocolate waffles were unlike anything I’ve ever had! It was clean and cozy and felt like I was a guest not a customer. The location is within walking distance of the historic downtown and Monique gave great recommendations on places to visit. If you want a great B&B experience, I would highly recommend 10 Clarke Street!

I was so impressed with this little bed and breakfast!
This weekend was a total surprise to me: my boyfriend took it as an opportunity for a weekend getaway to plan a proposal. When we arrived, the Victorian-​styled house is tucked in a quiet neighborhood a short walk to the heart of downtown Frederick.
The house itself is perfectly eclectic. There are beautiful crystal glasses, nicely mismatched furnishes… it truly felt like we were walking a little bit back in time. Downstairs, there is a bar open to guests with various brandy or bourbon and wine, along with some homebaked goods for snacking. The outside porch, with its adorable swing, is perfect for sipping said wine on a beautiful night.
My (now fiancé!) and I stayed in the Turet room, which was amazingly comfortable. The décor fits in well with the rest of the house with its vintage theme, and I was particularly happy with the his/​her robes and slippers and illuminating sink. The fun, vintage, touches really were impressive!
Finally, I cannot say enough about the breakfast. Monique and Ian prepare the breakfast every morning with food that is locally sourced or purchased the previous day at the farmer’s market. It’s high quality with the most delicioous cocoa waffles with fresh peaches, smoothies, and a frittata with homemade siracha sauce.
We will definitely be back! It was the perfect place to make some memories!

Great B+B. We had a wedding in Frederick with a late night planned in downtown but apparently there really aren’t any hotels within walking distance, so we decided to stay at 10 Clarke. Beautiful place with excellent service. Breakfast consisted of coffee/​tea, frittata, scone with jam, sausage and coconut water/​almond milk/​banana smoothie, all served by the owner Monique (with her husband in the kitchen). We stayed in the Ross room which does not have an ensuite bath, but that wasn’t a problem as it does have a dedicated, private bath right down the hall. Definitely recommend.

Such a fabulous place to stay. Beautiful rooms. Phenomenal breakfast. Walk to downtown. After a day of business, perfect place to chill. Peace and tranquility. Cannot wait to come back.

I stayed at 10 Clarke last night and can honestly say that I’ve had the best experience ever at a B&B or hotel. I called when I arrived and Ian met me outside to help me with my bags. After bemoaning my long day and the melted chocolate bar in my car, Monique, the proprietor, met me with a glass of red wine. Just what I needed. The staff presence was 100% non-​intrusive, which I really appreciated. Finally, breakfast was mouth watering good! AND it’s included in the room rate as was the wine. Ian made the most delicious 3 course breakfast. I’m gluten free, dairy free, and soy free. It’s not easy to make that taste good, but Ian accomplished this in spades. First, we had the most delicious and refreshing watermelon, mint, lime, coconut water smoothie. I felt like it woke my insides up just right. The bacon was amazing as was the egg dish he made. The coffee was truly top notch. I have not one complaint. The décor was inspiring. The price of everything, with tax was $ 165! You can’t beat that! I will most definitely return. Sending a heartfelt thank you to everyone at 10 Clarke!

Stayed in the Lace Room. It has a bathroom down the hall which was uniquely decorated with antique fixtures and had beautiful light. The bathroom was not shared. It was only for the Lace Room. The Lace Room was absolutely beautiful. A comfortable queen size bed with soft sheets made me sleep like a rock. Really appreciated all of the beautiful antiques that the house has and all of the unique lamps and chandeliers were my favorite! The house puppy Violet was very accomplished at giving love and kisses on command. Breakfasts were spectacular and wine in the evening was just perfect. No complaints.

Great B&B. The décor is eclectic but warm enough to feel like home. Monique made a wonderful breakfast for us that included a french toast soufflé, papaya smoothies, and an omelette. Would definitely come back!

A wonderful B&B– room was very comfortable, upgraded bathrooms, breakfast was delicious. A great choice for a weekend getaway.

The house itself is amazing and eclectic… and very well positioned both for strolling downtown Frederick as well easy access to highways for trips to the surrounding areas.
The breakfasts are amazing, organic with products sourced locally. We enjoyed the hospitality of our hostess Monique, her very able assistant Ian, and the other lovely guests.
We enjoyed relaxing in the main room and we loved the wine and scotch!
Our room (The Lace Room) was amazing and beautiful — the bed is new and completely comfortable. The private bathroom for this room is down the hall and it is gorgeous with a wonderful soaking tub and great separate shower.
We want to return and stay in the currently under-​construction «Poet’s Loft.»
I cannot recommend 10 Clarke enough!

10 Clarke embodies the ultimate bed and breakfast experience and its located in the heart of Frederick, the best foodie town away from the bustle of D.C. The decorations, the rooms, the atmosphere. It’s all perfect. I had no trouble booking through their online system and really enjoyed my breakfast, which was tailored to my dietary needs. Stay here, you won’t regret it.

We had a lovely stay at 10 Clarke, the breakfasts were lovely and the host was wonderfully warm and would help you with anything. On-​site massage was also arranged on short notice for a great price by the host for me, a nice treat. My favorite part was the heated mattress on a cold winter weekend, made the stay cozy. My only regret is that it had not been warmer so we could have sat outside on the porch.

Can’t say enough about how great it was to stay at 10Clarke!
My girlfriend and I wanted to get out of town (we live just about an hour south in Arlington) for our one year anniversary and wanted to spend a night in Frederick. I decided to check out B&B’s in the area and was really glad I stumbled upon 10Clarke. All of the reviews I had read prior to our stay we’re all very helpful and Monique was great. The room (Turret Room) was beautiful, as was the rest of the house. Breakfast was perfect and coffee was very good. My girlfriend has tea and there were an assortment from a local shop in Frederick. Also walking distance to downtown restaurants, bars and other sites.
If you’re staying a night or two in Frederick and going to be out and about downtown, stay at 10Clarke, it’s worth the few extra bucks!

Monique of 10 Clarke is a wonderful host. I called for a reservation, and unfortunately the rooms were all booked. Instead of letting me go with a «sorry, try another time,» she referred me to the B&B down the street. Not only did she make the referral, but she also made my reservation for me online while I was on the phone. She could have just given me the website to reserve myself, but she knew that there was only one room left there and wanted to make sure I was booked.
The owner of the B&B where we stayed was out of town, so Monique served as our host there as well. She was so helpful and accessible if we needed anything. The next day she stopped by during breakfast to make sure all was well. She had great recommendations for adventures in the area, and she offered us a tour of her property. It is gorgeous! We saw one guest on her way out, and she raved about the stay. The guests at breakfast when we toured the place were having a great time.
Only reason that I don’t feel that I can give five stars is because I didn’t stay there so I can’t weigh in on the rooms, which is most important to me in a B&B. But I can’t wait to return to Frederick for a weekend adventure, and I will definitely stay at 10 Clarke.

After reading the other reviews on TripAdvisor I was shocked by the service received by Monique, the owner of 10 Clarke Place. I called Monique about two weeks prior to our trip to enquire if she had two rooms available. She was very friendly on the telephone and let me know that she had two rooms available. We discussed our check-​in time and she confirmed the reservation asking me to e-​mail her my contract information.
I emailed her with the requsted information immediately following our conversation and didn’t receive a response. I followed up via e-​mail again a week later and again no response. I then tried calling her and left her a voicemail asking to please call me back so I can make sure that we have a reservation. She didn’t return my call. It was only after calling from a different telephone number the night before our reservation did she finally pick up the phone. She said that she didn’t remember our initial conversation and that she didn’t have any rooms available. She didn’t even offer an apology.
I’ve never had such an unprofessional interaction with someone who owns a place like this. We ended up booking the Hampton Inn at the last minute and the staff there made our trip more than enjoyable. They were far more professional that Monique and I highly encourage others to skip 10 Clarke Place and try something else when in Frederick.
