Nice atmosphere. The staff were very friendly.
When I arrived, I was informed that dinner at the hotel was compulsory. I cannot find any reference to this in the conditions; in fact it is stated that there is no meal option with this booking. It happened that I planned to eat there, but this rule effectively sets the accommodation condition as dinner and bed and compels me to pay more than the quoted price. This is not acceptable practice.

This is a gorgeous boutique hotel and it is decorated beautifully! Each room is completely unique, mixing old and new. The food was INCREDIBLE! The staff very friendly.
water pressure in the bathroom was a bit feeble, but it is an old little town, and the hotel was full - so perhaps that had something to do with it

Amazing to find a country hotel of this standard in a very small rural Eastern Cape town. It is very tastefully furnished with period furniture, comfortable chairs and beds and modern bathrooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is secure offroad parking and wifi.

Lovely well kept quaint little hotel, wonderfully decorated. Was a busy weekend and think the staff were a little stretched. Waited for service but still had an enjoyable visit. Would happily go back and felt the rate offered good value for money.
It was busy when we arrived and we waited a out 15mins to find a receptionist and check in. Our room unfortunately was above the kitchen vent and the extract pumped kitchen smells directly into our room. I would definitely happily go back but would ask for a different room that wasnt above the kitchen. It would have been nice to have milk in the room for coffee instead of Cremora. Hearty buffet breakfast, enjoyed the food the eve before.

Food was really nice
The fact that the owners are NOT sharing tipps. We have been told that they wont get it because of discrepancies of stock at the end of the month, which is utter rubbish. I waited tables and worked in bars, Tipps are ESSENTIAL and should NEVER be withhold by the owners

Great gem in the beautiful little town of Bedford. In house restaurant, lovely baked goods at the Cafe, very kind staff and management. Private enclosed parking.
Breakfast could be improved. Some small issues were immediately addressed by management.
