This George landmark property, dating back to 1861, has been sympathetically restored and is a Boutique B&B targeting garden enthusiasts and people with an appreciation for history and heritage. At Fairview Desmond is at the helm of an ever-evolving garden and Philda runs the guest house– assisted by Elize (who can also speak German, Dutch and French). Polished wooden floors, brass & iron four-poster beds, antique furniture & working fireplaces lend warmth & character to the spacious bedrooms.
