Lovely Family Guesthouse. Clean, comfy, welcoming.

This is a family Guest house and we were welcomed and treated as well as any family could be. Zac checked us in and carried all our bags up to our room, Dad cooks the best breakfast ever, Grandad in the lounge was happy and friendly, and Melissa was kind and helpful arranging everything we needed. The room was spotless, beds comfy and we had fun playing some of the games on offer and used the breakfast area for takeaways. If you want a stress free stay where nothing was too much trouble, and if there is an issue, its resolved within minutes.... This is the place! Thank you to Melissa and all her family for making us feel so welcome. We look forward to visiting you again some time.

Glory days are gone. Work needed to get them back

This is a difficult review to post. My wife asked me why I chose The Fawley and I couldn't honestly remember so I went to the Hotels.com website. That explained all as the hotel had a 9.6 Fabulous rating. However, the reviews were at least 12 month old and one of the more recent ones had a 'terrible' rating. The pictures on the website are deceiving about the current state of the place. It has become run down and not cared for very well. Cleanliness would have to be called in to question particularly in the bathroom. There was rust all over the loo brush and the shower cubicle needs mould removing and silicone replacing. I did inform the landlord about a leak when the toilet was flushed. The bed headboard had a covering on it which fell off to reveal a less than impressive sight. The side entrance for guests is tatty and needs smartening up somewhat. The people tried hard and were friendly enough but this place looks to be living off past glories. I do have photos if the owners wish to see them to help improve their business. We wouldn't plan to stay again.

Debbie & Mark have gone the extra mile to make The Fawley COVID safe while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our room (6) was spacious, tastefully decorated and well maintained. We had a large on suite shower room and tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was served in the dining area which had been carefully set up to allow social distancing. Mark was a fun host and between him and Debbie go out of their way to make guests welcome.

Short break

2nd visit to The Fawley. Lovely people who are coping very well with covid restrictions and we all felt at ease. Rooms comfortable, maybe need little attention but nothing drastic just renewing. Lovely bed linen and towels. Clean and fresh. Breakfast excellent. So much choice and happy to cater for gluten free . Hotel was quiet of an evening and we were able to come and go as we pleased as you are given a door key . Check in and check out all went smoothly. Will be back

The bed and breakfast was very warm and welcoming, the owners were very good at attention to detail. The breakfast was perfect and a good choice, the best poached eggs I have ever tasted, the selection of fruit was fresh and varied. Over all I was very pleased and will definitely be staying there again.
