    Inn Details

    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 $165 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.

    What a beautiful place to stay. My husband and I had a wonderful time during our weekend away at the Fairville Inn. Our room was very romantic with the gas fireplace. Everything was clean and inviting, the staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful. The pumpkin pancakes were fabulous.. We would come stay again in a minute and we will definitely tell our friends.


    A wonderful weekend!

    Our stay at the Fairview Inn was just what we needed after a hectic holiday. We originally booked one night, but we called Friday afternoon and asked if we could come that night, and received an enthusiastic "yes, of course!" Our room was in the Springhouse, lovely, comfortable -- especially the gas fireplace, which upped the coziness factor dramatically, and very private -- we even slept with the patio door open to get the fresh air and felt totally safe. The location was excellent -- within minutes of Winterthur and Longwood, our primary destinations, plus, top-notch restaurants were just around the corner. The breakfasts were delicious, and our hosts gracious and friendly. We'll be back!!


    This Inn is fantastic!!

    Stayed in the springhouse. Room was neat and had a great view. The only negative was the bed mattress.

    My daughter and I had two rooms in the Cottage and were very pleased with our stay. The owners and assistants were very friendly and helpful. I look forward to staying there again.
