Excellent service from the time of booking and for the whole of our stay. We stayed in two rooms a family suite and a superior suite, both were excellent and very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely with a good choice. Our stay was so good we have recommended it, our son stayed in January and we are returning shortly. More

The Fairfax Arms is a fantastic example of how a country inn should be run. We stayed for two nights in February. The booking process was very efficient. When we arrived we were greeted warmly and shown to our room. Little touches, such as complimentary water and fruit on arrival, were in addition to a wide range of teas and... More

stayed for 2 nights with my husband and 7 year old. We had a lovely room, the staff were very friendly, nothing was a problem. The breakfast was lovely, lots of choice inc. scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. We ate in the restaurant one of the nights which was really lovely, food was excellent. The area is lovely, lots of...

Stayed for 3 nights from 14/02 to 17/02 as part of a Groupon offer. From the first phone call to the last minute of our stay we were treated with nothing but superior service. We rang on Monday morning to ensure that we had the suite. Normally dogs are not allowed in this room but we were given an exception... More

This is a very attractive pub with superb staff and very interesting food, but it is not cheap pub grub. I am not sure if it is value for money. It will provide a good meal with good portions but at a price. The bar staff are charming and very helpful in every regard. I was shocked to see someone... More

We booked a family room at quite last minute (the day before) for a night away with the kids for New Year's Day. The reviews on tripadvisor were very positive and I know the pub and location, having driven past many times before. The family room seemed to be just what we were looking for - 2 separate room -...

We have just come back from staying at this pub and enjoyed every minute of it there. It was clean and comfortable such a lovely place the stay. The staff and the locals were most welcoming and the foot was excellent. Would recommend for anyone to go and stay at this establishment. We will be going back. Loved the location. More

We booked a superior double (room 7) which had a comfortable bed and nice en suite with bath, though in my opinion no better than standard rooms in which I have stayed elsewhere. A loose tap and broken blind catch were minor niggles. The main problem was the lack of sound insulation. Until midnight the noise from the bar was... More

We would like to thank you for your feedback and would like to take this opportunity to apologise once again about the level of noise that you experienced during your stay. We cannot deny that the inn is an old building (17th Century to be precise!) and with its appealing charm also comes slight downfalls such as lack of soundproofing.... More

The bar and resturant is very welcoming and we were shown up to the room. room was... More
