Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, with a good selection of food.
The pool was a good attraction and was open early, so we used before breakfast, giving us a good start to the day.

Cons:

The room was a little small, but was clean and had all facilities needed for our stay.
The decor was a little tired near the room entrance.

QUALITY COUNTS HERE
Pros:

Really enjoyed our stay, even tho only one night it was good from the check in to check out Staff were all very pleasant.
The room 7 was spacious and a great view of the sea, 2 very comfortable armchairs which you dont always get in hotels these days. The bed was large and comfortable we both had a really good sleep.
We had our evening meal at hotel which was well served and presented and tasty. Breakfast was excellent and lots of choice. All the hot food was actually hot and tasty.
We both felt this hotel was a Quality Counts Hotel. We have stayed at others of course but they seemed to leave a lot to be desired in our opinion and just cover the basics.
The Fairfield House Hotel ticked all our boxes.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about
