We needed a place to hold a graduation dinner for my daughter and her boy friend and both families on Mother's Day. It had to be near Emmitsburg, MD and major highways. The Historic Fairfield Inn is about 10 minutes from both Emmitsburg and Gettysburg, PA so it was very convenient for us. We had a private room, the food... More

I've stayed in many Historic Inns and do not consider myself to be in any way an overly picky traveler, especially with regard to properties of this age, but its only fair to warn the potential visitor that ones expectations, if at all fanciful, should be tempered. I had visited the Inn a few times previously and was well aware... More

My girlfriend knows how much I love Gettysburg and historical places so she purchased me a gift certificate for the Fairfield inn for Christmas. We used it to stay a weekend in April of 2012 in the three colonels suite. It was one of the most expensive rooms but offered a sitting room and balcony which was both nice to... More

Lovely old hotel - full of character. Our room was large, clean and comfortable.We found the food somewhat uninspiring and the bar closed at 9pm. As there was nowhere else to go in the village, it spoilt our evening. The countryside in this part of America is very attractive with a lot of history and will appeal to the Brits... More

This inn was built in 1757 and has been in continuous service since. The current owners have had the property for ten years and it is truly a delight to visit. We went to visit Gettysburg on a Tuesday and stayed Tuesday night (the inn is 8 miles west of Gettysburg, PA). They have six rooms and we had booked... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fairfield Inn. It is more like an Inn than a traditional B&B. We stayed in the Patrick Henry room which was very well furnished. My wife really enjoyed the claw foot tub. We also enjoyed some of the quirkiness (ask about the pennies that are left EVERYWHERE!) The food was good, but not... More

The Fairfield Inn is a B and B located on one of the roads in/out of Gettysburg, PA. It's a comfortable place to stay, with very reasonable rates. The breakfasts are excellent, especially the homemade scones. With a tavern and dining room on premises, it has everything one could want.The food is delicious too. The staff and owners are friendly... More

We loved the warm hospitality of Joan and the staff, the uniqueness and architectural detail of all the lovely rooms, the great food and history of the Fairfield Inn. The stay enriched our family trip to Gettysburg.

I wanted to stay in a place near Gettysburg that wasn't just another ordinary run of the mill hotel or motel. The Fairfield Inn fits this category in more ways than one; this is a place with a great history to it especially from the Civil War and before. The rooms were extremely clean and bear a strong resemblance to... More

Stay at the Fairfield Inn if you want to experience what lodging was like during the Civil War. The water in the shower never gets hot, only medium cool if you're lucky. While you wait for the shower to never get hot, the water pools up around your ankles due to clogged drains. The old decrepit window air conditioner grinds... More

It is absolutley true that trav1000081 experienced a problem with a lock to an adjoining suite, the first such occurance with one of the Inn's original locks dating to the 1760's. What this traveller fails to mentioned is that I responded immediately by fixing the lock within fifteen minutes. Additionally, I offered this couple their choice of a free upgrade... More
