"We
have held our annual retreat at Fearrington Village for the past
three years and would rather adjust our dates than consider
holding it elsewhere. From the graciousness of the grounds, to
the professional and anticipatory staff, excellent cuisine, and
attention to the smallest detail, Fearrington’s dedication to
outstanding customer service is unrivalled in the area. It is a
superlative experience deserving of its many stars."

"I
would just like to say THANK YOU for everything you did to make
our party great! People couldn’t stop talking about how much
they loved the building and the food. The service was amazing we
couldn’t have asked for a better place. We appreciate all that
you did to help us prepare and make this an amazing Christmas
party for us."

"Working in an
international team setting/global company can be challenging and
it is sometimes difficult to bond with your team mates on a
personal level...when searching for team building exercises...I
was seeking a training which was not typical classroom training,
personality assessments or other similar offerings, but rather a
different approach which would be refreshing and out of the
ordinary for my team. What a fantastic time we had. Chef Colin
was a pleasure to work with and very patient with our team and
the various cultures represented. The experience was very
rewarding and allowed us to bond on a more personal level. I
have since recommended this [Culinary Class] team building to
other departments within our company and they too enjoyed the
session tremendously. If you are looking for a truly team
building experience, and not your typical, run of the mill
training, I highly recommend this session at Fearrington
Village."

"Fearrington sets the bar
very high for other properties. Customer service is excellent
and is matched by the accommodations and food quality and
service. A terrific venue for corporate retreats!"

"We had a two-day staff
retreat at Fearrington and I can’t speak highly enough about the
location, the service and the overall excellence of the
experience. The Fearrington staff was gracious and attentive;
they treated us like royalty. Our sleeping and meeting rooms
were luxurious and the food was delicious and abundant. To those
looking for a special retreat, meeting or event experience, I
would highly recommend Fearrington — even though it FEELS
expensive, it’s a reasonably priced venue with extraordinary
benefits."

"We decided to come back to Fearrington because we
had such a positive experience before. Samantha is a jewel; I really
enjoyed working with her. She pays attention to details, before,
during and after each meeting day. Outstanding sales person. I
really like Jenny's Boardroom too. We had enough space to
conduct the meeting but also had space to get up and walk around.
The Shops were great. Need to build in extra time so shopping is not
rushed!"

"We had our event here last year
so there was no decision. We will continue to have it at Fearrington
House. Samantha was excellent. She made sure all of our needs were
met and is always so flexible with us."

"After exploring our options, Fearrington was our
top choice. Another group from our plant had also done the same team
building and everyone enjoyed it! Samantha was great to work with
and on top of everything! [The teamwork activities] were so much fun
and I loved how organized it all was! I think everyone enjoyed the
teambuilding - and talked about it for days!"

"Meeting at Fearrington is like meeting in a grand country estate -
complete with exceptional service, exquisite dining, cozy sleeping
accommodations, comfortable meeting rooms and beautiful country
views. The professional event staff is creative and thorough in
attending to all our details, welcoming to our guests, and
responsive to our last minute changes and requests. Fearrington has
long been a strong partner with our company, and we look forward to
many more successful events in the future."

"THANK YOU for a wonderful experience in every way yesterday!! It
was truly magical for the guests and you guys were great to work
with - all the staff yesterday was so kind, courteous, and helpful
in every way! What a pleasure! The guests were thrilled from
beginning to end - I received incredibly positive comments all
around - not a person left without a smile. I couldn't have done it
without your help, and I so truly appreciate your professionalism
and expertise! Look forward to the opportunity to work with you
again out there - what a delight!"

"I cannot rave enough about the two days our book club spent at
Fearrington. When 11 women have no complaints that is something! The
accommodations, the ambiance, the service and the food was A plus!
Thank you and your staff for making our 20th anniversary celebration
so special. We will be back as a group and as individuals for years
to come."

"It has been my great pleasure to produce a luxury hotel showcase
event at Fearrington Village twice a year, for the past 5 years.
This event involves lodging for 30 luxury hotel sales executives and
a dinner event in the Barn for group event planners.
Many of them have come back on personal visits, or referred other
small groups to the sales team at Fearrington. Never have I heard
one complaint or criticism on any level - the lodging, the food and
the service are all impeccable and the intimate setting allows time
for them to deepen their relationships to each other. When you
consider that many of these guests work in 5 star hotels themselves,
and this year will be my 11th event, I think this accomplishment
speaks volumes about the Fearrington team! Congratulations to all
who help create this unique, one of a kind experience for all of
us!"
