Prices are totally reasonable and include a DELICIOUS homemade breakfast (one of the best quiches I can remember in recent memory!). The rooms are well furnished and contain many personal touches. They feel rather like staying in a friend's guest room, or maybe a friend's grown daughter's former bedroom. I found the room we stayed in charming; but this may be a pro or a con to you depending on your tastes. All rooms have ensuite baths. One room has a Jacuzzi, but we didn't stay in that one. The town itself is rather small, and you'll need to go outside it to find any lasting entertainment. But nonetheless, this is the place to stay if you find yourself in Belhaven.

I found this gem on Yelp! Thank you Yelp!…read more It's a beautiful bed and breakfast, and the owners have exquisite taste in furnishings and decor. We stayed in the Beaufort Suite, and I slept like a baby in that huge comfortable bed with such soft linens. I love that we could control our room temp because we like it cold at night, and the unit cooled down quickly and quietly. The bathtub! Oh my! I want one of those so badly! We were there only one night, and I took two baths. The entire bathroom is stunningly gorgeous, well lit, and so spacious. You had hot water within seconds of turning the shower on, and it didn't cool down even a little bit. The Inn is located at a perfect spot, as it's a quick walk to everything you'd want to do in Belhaven. There are condos directly across the street which block the water view, but a vacant lot next to those allow for a beautiful view. The breeze coming off the water is wonderful. Happy hour was a nice treat, and enjoyable. Gail and Alan are great hosts, easy to chat with, and also interesting to converse with. They really do make you feel right at home, and act as if they've known you forever. (Don't worry though, they also leave you alone if that's what you prefer.) They have a great outdoor area to just sit, or swing, and enjoy the peacefulness of this quaint town. We loved our stay there.

We needed a safe place to get away for a few days and booked The Duck Blind cottage behind the main…read morehouse. It is pet friendly and we were traveling with our two dogs. Booking was easy with friendly service. Arrival was contactless and we never met or saw anyone during our stay of three days. The cottage was on a second level with a flight of steps which as a surprise because I had not noticed that from pictures. It was fine for us but might be difficult if traveling with someone with mobility issues. Inside, everything was so cute and clean and they had anticipated our every need. The kitchen had coffee, snacks and cereal and the fridge was pack with delicious breakfast items and treats like fresh backed goods. The yogurt appeared to be homemade and was delicious! The bed as comfortable and the rain shower was delightful. They even supplied the bags for our dogs potty trips. The main inn was unoccupied during COVID so we had the beautiful back yard garden all to ourselves. The view of the water was blocked since the cottage is behind the main house but the town docks were very close by, just a very short walk. Because of COVID, a lot of the restaurants in town were closed in the middle of the week but there was enough available for our needs. We visited in September 2020 and it was just what we needed, a quiet get away after working 7 days a week since March. We loved it and highly recommend it as a nice, quiet place to get away and have your every need thoughtfully met.

Someone did come fix it. The water pressure is very low in the shower and the sink is super low. The ice machine is not working so they give you a block of ice if ask at the desk. The continental breakfast was really good. The pancake machine is a great touch. The little one enjoy the pancake freshly made for them. The cinnamon bun they always served are still full of southern sweetness. Great breakfast after my morning bike ride. The pool remains to be the highlight of my stay. I can't swim, but walking in it for couple hours is great for my arthritis knees. The gym is small. A bike, treadmill, an elliptical. Each piece of equipment has its own tv. Which on the bike the TV did not work. Nor was the TV on the wall working. There's was no sanitizing wipes available. The room was not vacuumed or dusted. The elevators are not being wiped down daily. Adv easy as this would be to be wiped down and it looking bad that you want a napkin simply to hit the floor button. Not good at all. Definitely all this place needs is a caring staff. A manager that wants his hotel to be the best hotel. I hope they get it back to the standards that made me want to return.

I was hesitant to stay at the Fairfield again but I took a chance. Check in was better and I was…read moreupgraded to a Suite and put on the top floor. I really liked my room and the layout of the suite made more sense than others I've stayed as the bed was in the middle of the room and the couch and desk near the window. This suite design had both overhead lights and multiple lamps. Then with the relaxing area being near the window there is the sunlight too. I even got to watch the sunrise from the window. The cable lineup was on the smaller side with just a handful of stations but did have the stations for the games. Hallway noise was a bit of an issue with doors slamming frequently and conversations. So more soundproofing would be nice. Breakfast was to start at 7am and the breakfast seating is a large area. There were at least two large groups here during my stay and already at breakfast at 7am. The food was better the first day as the second day the oatmeal was cold not even luke warm. So I don't think the warmer was plugged in. It was hot the first day. The toppings were in a different section. The breakfast area isn't organized the best either. But there are waffle makers; biscuits; omelets that were rubbery; scrambled eggs; bacon and potatoes. There were pastries; bagels and bread for toast. I think I should have grabbed that instead. I stopped at Bojangles on the drive home. I'd stay here again but skip the breakfast.

Check in went smooth, quick, and the desk clerk was very pleasant. There was a stand up poster in the lobby for a golf tournament and when I asked about it I was told it was a caddy shack related tournament. Well that's interesting! They also have free cookies available, but get em fast cos they go quick! Our room was on the first floor and that would come back to haunt us later as those golfers were partiers and had setup a full bar for themselves that evening at a table in the dining area, which is near the front desk. They had assorted hard liquors they brought with them to make drinks and needless to say they got very loud. The room itself was spacious, very clean, and the carpet looked new. The TV is nice and big. The curtains did a good job of blocking out light. The bed tho was not very comfortable at all so I did not have a good night's sleep. The frig is small and does not have a freezer compartment. My eyes and nose got very irritated from what I discovered was a plug in deodorizer that had a very strong scent so I unplugged it. The toilet is low so if your knees are not in great shape it could be an issue. Unfortunately I'm finding even in most hotel chains the handicapped rooms still have a low toilet! The shower door didn't want to stay closed, plus water leaked on the outside. With the exception of bar soap, the other toiletries are mounted on the wall in the shower, but are pleasant smelling. There is no hand lotion. The breakfast seating area is large, but there was only one attendant who looked stressed and was kind of cranky when I asked for some forks to be replenished as there were none, not to mention several of the hot bar items were wiped out. An employee with full trash bags on a cart for some reason walked by all the receptacles that were filled to the brim with trash in the dining room. To say the hot food on the free breakfast is not very good is an understatement. The "fried" potatoes are coated in a seasoning salt and were kinda hard and the scrambled eggs are microwaved in a pre-sealed plastic bag and are a bit funky. The bacon tastes fake, yet is extremely greasy. The turkey patties looked too horrible to even try. The waffles are ok just have your batter ready as soon as you prespray the iron or it'll get stuck. The syrup is in a dispenser and none avail that is low sugar. No fresh fruit that I saw either. Lots of carbs like assorted breads and bagels to toast. Oats, grits, yogurt, and hard boiled eggs. I could be missing some things, but all in all if it'll pass for your kids, ok, but if you're just two traveling adults you might seek out breakfast somewhere in town. If this is an example of what Fairfield Inn offers, I think we'll pass on this chain in our travels.
