We booked two rooms at the Inn in December. Overall, this B&B is well-situated for those that want to tour the Brandywine Valley and be equi-distant between Winterthur and Longwood Gardens - both of which are beautiful attractions (the Christmas lights at the Gardens were actually phenomenal). Laura, one of the owners, was very personable, the breakfasts were delicious and overall the Inn was nicely appointed and quaint.

One of our rooms had a broken fireplace. While this was a slight disappointment (we booked this room precisely because it had a fireplace), the staff's reaction to our complaint and failure to redress the problem in any way was a bit more disappointing - as they seemed generally uncaring and then seemed to harbor a chip on their shoulders for the rest of our stay because we complained. The lock on one of the rooms (Springhouse 2) was extremely finicky (it took upwards of 3 minutes to unlock the door), and, again, the staff's response when it was brought to their attention was a bit of "yeah - what are you gonna do." The walls (or ceiling) in Springouse 2 were also paper-thin as we heard our upstairs neighbor (I believe) snoring throughout the entire night.

Other than those complaints (which are fixable issues) - an overall lovely place to stay.

this has to be the best b&b I have ever experienced. Rick and Laura are so warm and welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. The rooms are homely and comfortable and beautifully decorated and furnished. Breakfast is fantastic and Rick was only to happy to accommodate my egg allergy. The gardens are well kept and a delight to experience
I give you both 11 marks out of 10. Thanks for a great stay

We had a wonderful experience at the Fairville Inn. The innkeepers were warm and friendly and offered excellent advice about what to do and where to dine. Our room was clean and welcoming and the grounds are lovely. Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. Each day was a new creation. We are looking forward to our next stay.

For weekends away we prefer upscale b and b's/inns with style and character. And this one was just perfect- a beautiful property in lovely setting. Our room was stylish but very comfortable- with fresh flowers in the room, and a lovely view over the extensive gardens. The hosts were charming and friendly- and we were asked for suggestions for anything they could improve. But couldn't think of anything. The breakfast was gourmet, and one of the best we've had. They've just taken over, but they seemed very knowledgable. We didn't know the area- but were recommended to the Brandywine Valley Museum, the Wyeth collection, which was worldclass. We were equally minutes from Longworth gardens or Winterthur or the wineries. Would also recommend highly the restaurant we were sent to- on the Brandywine, but didn't write down its name. All in all a perfect birthday celebration for my wife.
