Having been impressed with the reviews on this site and the Fairfax's own website it looked that this would be a good place to stay for our 3 night trip. We were not disappointed, the Fairfax is a great pub situated in a lovely quiet village. The appearance and decor both inside and out is excellent and immediately filled us... More

Nice selection on teas and some homemade biscuits to... More

We moved to the area 3 years ago from Suffolk and have tried many places looking for fine food, excellent service and a great atmosphere. After our meal last night I think we have found the perfect place, which offers all 3. The staff are really welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent quality and at reasonable prices.

On arrival I was upgraded to room 11 which is massive with a leather sofa, huge bed and a wonderful stone clad bathroom. Had a really nice dinner in the bar and an excellent breakfast. I will definitely be coming back again and this time will bring my wife as it is right up her street.

The rooms are in excellent order (clean and good size, good coffee, tea, home made cookie, fruit included) and the breakfast had a good range of options that were well done. They offer a dinner, bed and breakfast rate and it... More
