Lovely stay at the Fairchild House BnB

My stay at the Fairchild House B&B was really lovely. The property is centrally located and it was easy to get anywhere on foot or by utilizing public transportation. It is an historic property, which is great, but a little rough around the edges. Would not categorize it as luxurious, but I also did not pay the price for luxury accommodations. If your priorities are location and customer service, this is a wonderful option.

History with a bit of rust

Very nice historic house and experience. Great mattress and bed overall. The facilities a bit neglected and in need of some modernization, like for example the windows, a bit of cleaning and insulation would be good. Great traditional breakfast and very nice staff.

I’m giving this property a 4 out of 5 stars. For the rate charged it has lots of charm with lots of space in our double room and the Free Breakfast was really good! We had a foyer/mudroom, large closet and private bathroom. It was also nice to have Two outdoor sitting spaces: garden courtyard and an old fashioned front porch. The bathroom tub and tile floor in the bathroom was lacking care and cleaning was needed for both.
