    Not much choice of dining options available within walking distance. Ones that were open had closed their kitchens by 8pm.

    Host was lovely and room very comfortable. Excellent 'help yourself' breakfast provisions. Great outside/patio space.

    It was very clean and homey. The owners vere super friendly and gave us a helpful tour of the house. They provided all we could need for a good breakfast, everything organic from fresh eggs to oatmeal, to fresh fruit, coffee and tea. And we enjoyed it on a cute little screened porch. Owners lived downstairs and were available for anything we needed.

    The house has such a comfortable and welcoming vibe. We really liked staying in such a home-like environment where you can just make your own breakfast with organic food and the best coffee. Everything is sustainable and it makes you feel good not to produce a heap of plastic trash as you would with a hotel breakfast. And the location is great - we walked downtown to enjoy the local restaurants.

    No problems with anything. It was all great. Wish we could have stayed longer.

    I stayed with my husband and two teenage children. Raven and Flame were great hosts and very welcoming. It was great to have access to a well stocked kitchen to make ourselves breakfast in the morning (Raven and Flame provided lovely local organic produce - fruit, bread, eggs, butter, tea and coffee etc). The house is quiet and very central. You can walk into the historic district in 20 minutes or take a cab if you prefer. Do note that there is a shared bathroom. This wasn't a problem for us (there are 3 bedrooms, we booked 2 of them and during our stay the 3rd one wasn't actually occupied). If it had been occupied by another guest, we wouldn't have minded but I guess some people would. There's a lovely area at the back to sit outside but we were only in town for a night visiting family so didn't have time to enjoy that. We would definitely like to come back. We found it much nicer than staying in a hotel for a family with two teenagers. There are also lots of leaflets and guides available which was very thoughtful.

    ⸻ We were in town for a UVA tour, and this kind of accommodation was perfect for that purpose. We were given access to the guesthouse earlier than expected, even though we hadn’t arranged for early arrival. The hosts were welcoming and ready to assist with any concerns. The rooms were clean, as was the kitchen, which offered a great selection of coffee, tea, organic bread, and a cozy living room. It was such a refreshing experience compared to most hotels.

    Fairhaven is about as perfect as it could be. I don’t know if every bedroom shares a bathroom, but mine did. Not a problem for me…just something to be aware of.

    Lovely room with shared bathroom in a cute house near downtown.

    I had hoped to do a zoom presentation for work in my room, but there unfortunately isn't much of a desk set up in the guest rooms. They're comfy enough, and as I said, you can work from other parts of the house, but if you need some privacy while doing so it may not work out.

    Faster wifi than you'd get at a generic hotel, cute home with nice people, lovely B&B like options and a focus on sustainable materials (and very high quality coffee provided!). Lovely common areas for working if that will work for you, relatively close to downtown but a little to far to walk (but short drive, also short drive to a lovely river walk!).

    It is not what I didn’t like (actually I liked it), but not TV in the room.

    Family-like home, cosy and comfortable. If you like meeting and talking to new people, the place is for you. Nice, comfortable, peaceful. Everything is close. Coffee is amazing :)

    The hosts were super nice, we felt very much welcomed! Loved all the art in the house, which was made by the host. They had local organic products in the fridge for breakfast, and such as eggs and fruits! Comfy beds, the rooms were clean and colourful. You share the B&B with two other rooms, which was fine, no traffic in the bathroom ;).

    Nothing, it was great!

    You can tell that Flame and Raven have been hosting for a while, they have everything absolutely sorted! The guesthouse is equipped with anything you might need, and most things are plastic free and planet friendly which was a great bonus. We loved the space, the self-service very generous breakfast and the super quick response time. We would love to stay again if we come back to Virginia!

    The A/C didn't seem to blow in our room as well as it did in the rest of the house, so it got pretty warm in the bedroom with the door closed, even though it felt fine elsewhere.

    The hosts were very kind, the house was walkable to everything we wanted to do in town, and the food provided took care of our breakfast each morning.

    Everything was perfect for our stay!!!!!

    Both hosts were so accommodating and went above and beyond expectations for our stay. From the moment we booked, they were communicative and wanted to ensure that we had the best and most comfortable time staying at their accommodation. It really felt like we were visiting friends or family more than just a house we were staying in. The home was clean and very cool to look around in might I add! We will for sure be coming back.
