The Fairfax Arms

On arrival extremely happy . Very friendly , helpful staff. Wonderful in every way. Every facility including wonderful bath robes. Great attention to detail. Excellent and very varied food.A charming front bedroom. BUT

This was our second stay and again it didn’t disappoint. All the staff we encountered were welcoming and friendly. We had an evening meal which was sensational and breakfast was exceptional. They are more than generous with the heating, once inside the main building and once outside, both rooms we’ve stayed in have been toasty warm. Although we didn’t use them a good selection of toiletries are provided. Tea and coffee facilities were a little treat with added extra of hot chocolate and some lovely biscuits. Its location in relation to castle Howard where we were visiting after our stay is simply perfect. We intend to make this an annual trip!

Beautiful country pub, in a lovely little village

Spacious and comfortable bedroom, decent size TV, good breakfast, with more options than just English and continental, good food at the restaurant (and good variety, so no real need to eat outside), friendly patrons, great staff, very little traffic, building with character, even if car park is full, free parking is available even on the main street, pretty decoration throughout, even in places you wouldn't expect, friendly and welcoming owners.

The staff at The Fairfax Arms were very professional and friendly and made us feel very welcome. The surroundings of the pub made for a very relaxing experience. Our evening meal was extremely good, and well priced given such high quality. Robes in the room were a nice touch and not something you see in many places.
