Fairstead Reviews

Keith
Wonderful location, great family birthday celebration had by all. Nice rooms and plenty of space for children to play. Excellent stay
Lesley
The windows from the outside look the original mahogany style and would benefit a little modernisation. Inside the property you could not fault the rooms and facilities although some may say shower attachments be placed in the rooms with the stand alone baths? Overall it is a lovely place and would definitely book again.
