Fairlawn House

ストーンヘンジやウッドヘンジに近く、ゆったりとした街です。自然を満喫できます。室内もキレイにしてあります。スタッフも親切に対応してくれました。

An incredible place to stay in Amesbury and a perfect base to see so many places both interesting and historical in the area. The rooms are so lovely, large and comfortable. The hosting and staff are delightful. The food was gorgeous. It really does feel like a home away from home and I need to go back again soon as there are so many things to see and discover in the area.

Approaching a pretty Georgian house, you imagine a warm welcome and a friendly chat, but check-in and out are digital and no-one is there. I was astonished to return to the room at the end of the day to find that it had not been cleaned and the bed had not been made. There was someone around the next morning, who said they don't go into bedrooms without permission(!) and if I wanted it cleaned I shoud have put the other side of the do not disturb sign outside - there was nothing to say this was compulsory. The small double room was adequate for one, but there is very little storage space and it would be cramped for two. The kettle didn't switch itself off and the lid kept popping open as it boiled which is a hazard. Despite my having checked out online and stated that I would be leaving at 10.30, someone came into the room at 10.00.

Pros: Nice building and comfy bed Cons: Wallpaper peeling, lack of parking (told to park in doctors surgery up the road and when we went back to our car in the morning there was a very curt note telling us not to park there), no cooked breakfast (despite being told cooked items were available), broken toilet seat, only 1 free socket at floor level, no bedside cabinets, poor coffee and tea selection (most hotels charging £170 a night have at least a coffee pod machine or put 2 x packets of biscuits or 2 x hot chocolate sachets in the room), check in is a very convoluted and complicated process, no Netflix despite tv saying there was, very poor WiFi, shower slippery and needed a bath mat or anti slip stickers in it...I think that's it!

This review is based on room 16. Overall it was an adequate B&B and we would go there again just ask for a different room. We had asked for a twin room and ours was described as ‘luxury twin’. The room itself was a decent size I would describe as shabby chic. The bed was a link 6ft one, not the type of twin we were expecting as there was no space between the beds and it was made up as a double. No bedside tables, instead a shelf too high up to reach in the night, tricky too with hot drinks which were provided. As a super king double it was comfortable with fresh white bed linen. Bathroom was modern and a good size with large walk in shower and good towels. The carpet in the bedroom has seen better days and I did not walk on it with bare feet. The room is on the ground floor at the front just inside the front door. You could hear the bell clearly, all the conversation in the tiny reception area and the front door was literally behind the bed head. Far from quiet. We were woken every time someone went in and out. A soft close mechanism might assist but you will still hear any talking and the bell. The staff were friendly and a room in the main house did seem preferable when reading the reviews about the annex. Parking is not on site but very close by. Breakfast was more than adequate for us. Hot and cold options were on offer. Coffee was fresh and for our taste perfect…not too bitter.

A very restful stay awaited us only 15 minutes away after our day at Stonehenge. The en-suite room was beautiful. We learned it was a lobby in the former girls school. High ceilings, beautiful decor, very comfortable bed, and modern bathroom. I love staying in a historic place that has charm of years ago. The Staff was very helpful in pointing us in direction of a great restaurant within walking distance very close by. Although our room faced the street, it was very quiet. Breakfast the next day was absolutely wonderful with many choices and all of it delicious. The decor for the breakfast area was very pretty too and provided a great start to our day. We were so full, we didn't eat again until dinner. I highly recommend this lovely historic B&B.
