    The Fairville Inn is in the heart of the Brandywine Valley between Winterthur Museum and Longwood Gardens, and only minutes from the business district in Wilmington, Delaware. The Hagley, Brandywine River (Wyeth and Pyle collections), and Nemours Museums are also within minutes. Our 13 rooms and 2 suites are located in three buildings: the Main House (built in the early-mid 1800s), the Carriage House, and the Springhouse. Rooms begin at $175 per night (plus applicable taxes), which includes a full breakfast and afternoon tea. All rooms have a private bath, satellite TV, wireless internet, telephone, and individual heating and air-conditioning. Many rooms have a fireplace (seasonal) and most have a private deck/porch. All rooms have either a king- or queen-sized bed, some under a romantic canopy (one room has twin beds, which can be made into a king). Fine dining nearby. Advance reservations are strongly recommended.

    The most beautiful & relaxing bed & breakfast in Chadds Ford Pa area

    June 11, 2013

    The owners Laura & Rick are always there to help make your stay wonderful, Laura is great at finding directions for out of the way places in the area, while Rick cooks the best breakfast that beats any four star restaurant you can find. The property is a beautiful yellow historic house with a spring house and beautifully designed gardens. They also have a friendly black lab named Ozzie that follows Rick around the property and is a great company for anyone one who misses their pet while on vacation.

    Innkeeper Response
    Comments like this make me, Laura, and our hard-working staff smile. They are truly appreciated and we thank you for taking the time to write and post them. I must, however, decline the 4 star breakfast rating. While we and most of our guests like our breakfasts very much, we are far too modest to make claim to such a rating. Thanks again. Rick

    Four nights at the Fairville Inn

    June 09, 2013

    It was a pleasure to stay at the Fairville. The owners could not have been more accomodating and friendly, nor could the staff. When we visit the area again this would be my first choice.

    Wonderful get away at Fairville Inn

    June 04, 2013

    From the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out our stay at Fairville was delightful. Everyone was very friendly, our breakfasts were delicious, and our morning conversation enhanced our stay. When I got home and was unpacking I realized I left a dress and sweater in the closet. I made a phone call and my outfit was at my doorstep within two days. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

    Always First Class

    May 30, 2013

    Laura and Rick, not to mention Ozzie, are great hosts. We have stayed at the Fairville Inn for many years and are always pleased. Rick, by the way, is a gourmet cook!

    Nice Getaway

    We found the Fairville Inn on B&B.com and enjoyed our stay there. It was convenient to places we wanted to go to and the setting was so restful and bucolic.

    Our anniversary trip

    May 28, 2013

    We had a wonderful stay at the Fairville Inn while celebrating our anniversary. Our room (Carriage house room 4) was beautiful without the stuffiness we find at many inns. The balacony overlooking the grounds was a great place to start each day with a cup of coffee. The whole property (and the innkeepers) give a feeling of peacefulness and relaxation that we have not found at other inns we've visited. Next trip, we're planning to work in a day to stay on property enjoying the view of the lake , the gardens and peace and quiet. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

    Caring, friendly, welcoming innkeepers at a lovely inn; great location!

    May 27, 2013

    My husband and I stayed here overnight and very much enjoyed both the inn and our interaction with the innkeepers, Laura and Rick. They were very welcoming and friendly: when Rick learned that we were there for our anniversary, he asked if we liked chocolates and left a plate full of truffles and Venezuela chocolates in our room while we were out for dinner. There is also a lovely, friendly, well behaved dog on the premises, which made it feel like home. This inn is in a fabulous location for visiting the many interesting sites in the Brandywine Valley and includes on its website links to the many excellent restaurants in the area. It's definitely a place to visit for those who love history, nature and fine dining.
