Great time by

Clean, neat, friendly like the farm atmosphere

Lekker by

Ek het slaapplek gesoek vir 3 nagte en ek het dit geniet.

Good location, good service and value for your money by

I received the most friendly and helpful reception, so lovely and great first impression of the B&B. The owners couldn't have been more sweet and they ensured that I would leave with a good impression. Everything about the B&B was good. It was clean, in a good location, roomy, with excellent service and great value for money. The room itself was well equipped and comfortable. I was very pleased with my stay, and although it was short and sweet, I'll surely go back for a longer visit in the future.

I would not return by

I was going to skip reviewing - something better left unsaid - but their failure to honour a verbal agreement on my departure has left me feeling uncharitable. The room had wet carpets, it smelt damp, the shower drain stank but the shower is good, the cupboards smelt musty, the blankets were plentiful but dirty, and the linen had burn marks from an iron. The bed was comfortable (aside from the polyester linen) but under the window, which meant you either had fresh air and froze, or inhaled the mouldy smell. It is a lovely old house, with a good front stoep. Perhaps the other bedrooms are better - don't ask for the blue room. And get any agreements in writing.

Nothing by

The unit smelled and the linen was so thread bare. The pillows had long since seen better days - two pillows in a pillow case. There was only one blanket and no electric blanket and the room was extremely cold.Self catering was some what impossible as there was only a saucepan and a large pot. The bath room left a lot to be desired, there was not even a bath mat on the floor.The host were not very welcoming at all. They would not open the gate for us to pull the car in till I had till I had filled in a form and paid a key deposit. This I find in very bad taste. I had not yet received the keys when I was asked what time will I be leaving. I would most certainty never go back or advise people to go there. This was by far the worst place I have ever stayed in.
