Stayed for 2 nights. Rooms where lovely. A very warm and inviting ambience from the minute we walked in the door. Service from start to finish was excellent. The food was exquisite, especially the seafood chowder and mussels. Head chef James, was incredibly friendly. He came out to talk to us and gave both kids a chef's hat and signed them for us. Fantastic getaway, will revisit soon thanks

Guest reviews
Fairhill House Hotel averages 4.4 out of 5 across 182 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Had a light lunch here, the soup of the day was delicious, hot and creamy. The club sandwich was tasty, but I was disappointed when the advertised "crispy bacon" turned out to be just about cooked and very fatty. Service was good and waiter very friendly. Would still eat here again though.
Eddie and his staff are fabulous. The meals are reasonably priced for the size of the portions, especially the kids menu. Great range of whiskeys and a lovely atmosphere. I did have my wedding reception there but still keep going back.
