    We arrived on a Friday afternoon and Andie welcomed us immediately. She showed us our room and gave us a tour of the Inn. We loved it. My husband and I were looking for a place for a girls weekend...this is perfect. It's also for a couple to enjoy some downtime. We're already told friends about it. Ready to go again.

    We visited on New Year's Eve 2011. The ambiance of the Inn is very nice. The hospitality was wonderful. The room (Grumble Jones) was nice, very 1700's - which I expected. The bathroom was a nice upgrade. We brought a bottle of champagne and an ice bucket and glasses were quickly brought to our room to accommodate us. The dinner was wonderul. Entertainment, great - they have a Irish, Celtic group that performs once a month and they were terrific. Everyone in the owner's immediate family was present and made us feel very welcome. Andie - an employee there was the best of all. She was very welcoming and accommodating. A wonderful place to go. Near Gettysburg - which is a plus. The only compaint was the bartender. At first, I just thought he was the surly type, but quickly learned that he really didn't want to be there and was not shy about letting you know. It was New Year's Eve and I knew they wouldn't be staying open late, but he practically pushed us out and then ignored us when we returned from dinner. All in all, nice place and wonderful accommodations but need a new bartender.

    Loved our stay at the Fairfield Inn.
