The Fairville Inn Bed and Breakfast is the most convenient lodging facility in the heart of the Brandywine Valley. The Inn is minutes from Longwood Gardens, Winterthur, and the Brandywine River Museum. It is also only a short drive to the business district in Wilmington, Delaware.
The Main House of the Inn was built around 1837, and is located in the village of Fairville, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Inn has been home to members of many of southern Chester County’s early families, including Mendenhall, Pyle, Trimble, Sharpless and others. James Trimble was a relative of Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe. His wife was sister to Ellwood Mendenhall, a prominent figure in the town of Mendenhall.

Surrounded by majestic homes and miles of back roads, the Inn has 15 individually-decorated rooms (including two suites) located in three buildings -- the 1837 Main House, the Carriage House, and the Springhouse. Throughout the Inn, fresh flowers, and elegant country décor create a warm and quiet atmosphere. All guest rooms have a private bathroom, satellite TV, telephone with voice mail, wireless Internet, and individual heating and air conditioning controls. Many rooms have a canopied bed, most have a private deck and a fireplace (in season). The Fairville Inn has been featured in many publications including the New York Times, Southern Living magazine, and Philadelphia magazine.

Enjoy the elegance of our rooms, gardens and meadows!

Other Amenities ...

The Inn serves a complimentary full breakfast with a daily choice of three hot entrees (typically an omelette; pancakes, waffles or french toast; and exceptional scrambled eggs), as well as a continental buffet of Inn-baked goods, fresh fruit, cereal, and yoghurt. Afternoon tea consists of a selection of cheeses, crackers, fresh fruit and Inn-baked goods. While the Inn does not serve meals other than breakfast, there is a wide range of restaurants in the area, and the Inn staff is happy to make arrangements for our guests.

The Brandywine Valley offers azaleas and gardens in bloom in the Spring, and magnificent foliage in the rolling hills of Chester County in the Fall. The Inn is open year-round. Major attractions are open almost every day, including most holidays.

A reservation is not considered confirmed until a deposit has been provided. All deposits will be credited to the last night of reserved time and will be forfeited in case of early departure. The full daily rate, for each day reserved, will be charged if you do not arrive, arrive after the reserved date, or depart before the final date of a guaranteed reservation and the room is not re-booked.

In the event of cancellation, your deposit will be returned provided we are notified at least 10 days before your scheduled arrival day. If the reservation is cancelled or reduced fewer than 10 days before the scheduled arrival, your deposit will be returned provided we are able to re-book all the originally reserved nights. A cancellation fee of $20 will be applied to each room deposit refunded as a result of cancellation. Reservations for four or more rooms, or for a holiday period, require a 30-day cancellation notice. Reservations for the entire Inn have a longer cancellation notice.

Well-behaved children 12 and older are welcome.
