Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms lack modern amenities
Although most find this aspect to simply fall in line with the Victorian-inspired stylings, a small number of guests at the Fairchild House Bed & Breakfast have bemoaned the lack of some present-day amenities in the rooms - most notably the absence of a good-sized modern television.
negative:
Compact rooms
Although it doesn't spoil the character and comfortableness of the accommodation, some of the rooms have been described as being small in size by past visitors on occasion.
negative:
Steep stairs can be problematic
As the Fairchild House Bed & Breakfast is set in a historic house, there is reasonably no elevator facility. This means that guests have to use the stairs, which have been described as being steep and somewhat tricky to negotiate by some former guests.
