Absolute wonderful property, close to downtown Fairhaven. Definitely look into the history of this home. Staff was very inviting and friendly, and the morning breakfast was outstanding. Large common areas to hang out. Despite having multiple rooms, I barely saw anyone else! I will be returning the next time I visit. I highly recommend.

The Delano Homestead is an intimate B&B that offers visitors all the comforts of home. My husband and I felt as though we were staying with friends rather than at a B&B. This is in part because of the wonderful innkeeper, Tracey, who always made us feel at home, but we also had a chance to meet the owner, Paul, who was just as welcoming. Our room was charming and comfortable, and very tastefully furnished with period antiques. We enjoyed learning the history of the home when it was owned by the Delano family. We also loved staying in a quiet, residential neighborhood away from the bustle of New Bedford, which was our reason for visiting the area. Should we make a return visit, we will certainly book the Delano Homestead again. It made our stay memorable.

Cute little B&B smack dab in the historic part of fairhaven and walkable to local restaurants. I did get the 3rd floor room, which on one hand was a 3rd floor, on the other hand, absolutely wonderful and I'd deal with the stairs again to get it. There was a neat view of the area, the bathroom was large with a claw foot tub, and it was it's only little spot away from everything else. The person that checked me in was also friendly and helpful and breakfast was great.

A charming historic B and B in peaceful Fairhaven,

This is a charming B and B with a historic twist having been the residence of FDR's maternal grandparents and which he visited as a boy. We loved our cute little attic room. Comfy beds and immaculately maintained. Upstairs rooms are a steep climb for those with gimpy knees but the ambience made up for that.

The history of the property was intriguing to us when we considered our stay. It was a unique opportunity to stay in a home that has ties to former president Franklin D Roosevelt. It could have been my oversight, but we were surprised that the bathroom for our room was down the hall. It really wasn't a big deal as we basically had the floor to ourselves. I was also surprised that the rooms don't have doors that lock, but again, it was no big deal as we were the only guests. The owner and property manager were both gracious and very hospitable.

Beautiful house, full of history. Great feeling knowing that one of our greatest Presidents once roamed the same hallways. The house is extremely well maintained. Bedroom very comfortable. Paul and Tracey go out of their way to truly make you feel at home. They are both welcoming and flexible. Breakfast to suit all tastes; fresh and delicious. Other guests were charming and a pleasure with whom to have shared the table. Enjoyed walking around town, and sitting in the garden under the trees enjoying the shade and the cool breeze. Lovely weekend. Thank you.

In a word: wonderful

One of the loveliest and most charming places we’ve ever stayed; I wish we’d been staying more than just one night, and intend to in the future. The historic house itself is beautifully detailed with furnishings appropriate to its era—the attention to detail is remarkable, yet fully outfitted with comforts and utilities of 21st-century life (USB charging ports, Roku streaming). The absolute best of both worlds. The breakfast was hearty and delicious, the company of other guests was delightful, and Paul and Tracey were at all times gracious, accommodating, friendly, and informative hosts. Simply can’t say enough good things!

This is a beautiful, private property with staff who want you to feel at home. The limited number of rooms means it is quiet and relaxed. Guests will find snacks, coffee and tea in the kitchen, lovely public rooms and the private garden to enjoy. And the breakfast was terrific. You can help yourself to eggs, bacon, fruits and pastries. Just ask for what you need, and the manager will make every effort to accommodate.

The name while inviting, belies its history as the living/gathering place of the Delano and Roosevelt families for over 150 years. It is a beautiful property on a quiet street in an historic part of town. It is well maintained, historically accurate and beautifully furnished. Instead of simply a brief notation as to its history, they actually had many photographs, books and news items going back nearly 200 years related to the families and their history for one to browse through. Breakfasts were amazing! Bountiful in amounts with a wide variety of food and drink options to suit most dietary preferences. Coffee and small snacks were available throughout the day. The owner Paul is an on-site, hands on person, very engaging, with a wealth of information about the house, history, the MA/RI area and many helpful suggestions which he readily shares. Likewise was Liz, the day to day manager of all aspects of the B&B. Not only was she also a great source of information and in addressing any needs we had to make our stay even more comfortable, she is a super nice person and a pleasure to spend time talking with. We fell in love with this place and will definitely stay here again when next travelling to New England and highly recommend it to others.

Wonderful home away from home

I was staying in the area for a workshop at a nearby school. It served as a true home away from home. It is a beautifully maintained historic home. Janessa was so pleasant and provided a full breakfast each morning with great variety. Her suggestions for nearby places to explore and eat were spot-on and helped fill my little bit of spare time perfectly. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

A touch of history.

Great house with connection to FDR. Great fruit and yogurt choices for breakfast. The third floor walkup was a bit difficult for our age (70+). The a/c on the third floor did not function properly and it was uncomfortably warm at night. I would definitely stay again, but on a lower floor.
