    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.

    Wonderful B&B

    May 06, 2013

    We had a delightful stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Laura and Rick are very gracious hosts. Breakfast was a wonderful experience. We had several options to choose from for breakfast. And it was wonderful to be served.

    My wife and I felt we needed some time to ourselves and found the Fairville Inn online. Overall, the experience was awesome. The rooms were very nice and the service was fantastic. Our only complaint was breakfast. We expected to be blown away. The food was good but ordinary.

    Cannot Wait to Return!

    April 29, 2013

    My husband and I wanted a quick, last minute getaway, and someone suggested an attraction nearby Fairville Inn. I came across the Inn on an internet search trying to find lodging for the one night we would be in town. I am THRILLED to have come across Fairville Inn's site. I put in a request for a one night stay (as most B&Bers know, a one night stay is unusual) and received a quick reply from the Inn confirming the availability of a one night stay. That was only the beginning of a wonderful customer service experience. At the location, which is beautiful, each Inn member we encountered (including the property's dog, Ollie) was friendly and spectacular. We stayed in a room in the Main House, and enjoyed having a back door entrance as well. The room was bigger than I had expected, and the location itself was quiet and relaxing. As we left the property we already began talking about staying again and what other attractions we would visit the next time we came out. Yes, you read that correctly: now, instead of finding a place to stay near an attraction, we are searching for attractions to visit during our next stay at the Fairville Inn!

    One night too short!

    April 29, 2013

    We were only needing one night stopping by to see friends. After we arrived, it was such a pleasant place that I wished we were staying longer! The owners and staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful. The grounds were beautiful and the room cozy and comfortable. I would definitely return.

    • Deposit Amount Required: Required deposit: one-half of the reserved nights, rounded down in the case of an odd number of nights.

    • Cancellations: If you cancel your reservation 10 or more days before the date of arrival, your deposit will be refunded in full, less a cancellation fee of $20 per room reserved.

In these cases, we will charge your credit card for any balance due and gladly provide you with a Fairville Inn gift certificate for the full amount of your reserved time valid for one year. The Gift Certificate is transferrable.

    Lovely B & B

    April 20, 2013

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fairville and will definitely stay here again when visiting the Wilmington area. It was close to both Wilmington & Longwood Gardens/Chads Ford. The inn was quiet, restful and breakfast was delicious with several unique choices. The innkeepers were so accommodating and friendly. A very lovely place!

    April 13, 2013

    We were pleased with our stay. Beds were extremely comfortable. Rooms were average, but clean, larger than expected. Staff was friendly, helpful. Location was what made out decision to book the room but we would go back again because we enjoyed ourselves and slept well.
