We chose the Fairville Inn as the site for a reunion with very dear friends from Virginia (We are from the Berkshires in western MA.). I must say that our special treatment began when I was chatting with Rick on the phone to make the reservation. Although he was in the midst of a record-breaking snowstorm, he volunteered to make dinner reservations for us and he did indeed get us a table in front of the fireplace at a very elegant restaurant nearby. Our room (Carriage House #2) exceeded our expectations. From the fresh flowers in December, recent magazines lined up on a table, to the french door overlooking the garden that was even lovely in the winter snow, we were very pleased. In the late afternoon, we gathered by the fireplace in the parlor and enjoyed tea, cheese and crackers and cakes/cookies. We were so comfortable and enjoying our chat with Rick, that we were almost late for our dinner reservations. We we charmed by his stories about decorating the enormous evergreen tree by the driveway with lights that received acclaim from the surrounding neighbors. Breakfast was hot, delicious and presented on elegant china. Our stay was very brief so we were unable to visit any of the local attractions, but the four of us have decided that the Fairville Inn would be a perfect spot for another reunion. We look forward to visiting in warmer weather when the gardens are in bloom.

What an incredibly beautiful and comfortable Inn! Our room was stunning, breakfast was scrumptious, and the distance to the various points of interest was extremely convenient. When we mentioned the name of our Inn to either restaurants, and even to one of the volunteers at Longwood Gardens, they all always had a most positive compliment, inferring that we were staying at the very best place in Brandywine! We loved it in case you didn't understand!

We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. Our room was charming with a fireplace, separate sitting area and balcony with garden view. Breakfasts and afternoon teas were amazing, everything homemade and delicious. The grounds were beautiful and well kept, and our hosts couldn't have been more gracious. The location was central to all of our destinations including the Brandywine Museum, Longwood gardens and Winterthur. We look forward to a return trip.
