Great location, just overpriced restaurant
The location of the hotel is good. The stairs down the the rooms is built for somebody with long legs and the ramp - not sure if that is for a wheel chair which I will never use. The restaurant is very over priced and its really not great food. The food at Mrs Simpson is WAY better. The fire place, having a vent right on top, the room was always smelling of smoke. Rooms do all need a little TLC. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

掲載された写真とはかなり異なり、古いホテルでした。また、部屋もかなり古く、水回りもあまり綺麗とは言えませんでした。ホテル内のレストランも小さく、ディナーしようとしたらフルブッキングだと宿泊者ですら冷たく断られました。

A Christmas Delight
Stayed in hotel 23rd December to 26th December 2019 with my partner and her mum.It was a beautiful experience. Both rooms where very good and met our expectations. The hotel grounds where beautiful and relaxing and felt very secure.The hotel staff where very professional and helpful. The food was of the highest standard and Christmas Day dinner at the hotel was a wonderful experience, sharing the day with the owners and their family friends and guests. I would recommend a stay at this hotel and experience the delights of the hotel and area. A big thank you to the owners and their family for being so welcoming and helpful to make our stay such a pleasure and being so kind.

Lovely fireplace in the room. Room nice but a bit tired in places, broken blind, gaffer tape on the step up to the bathroom, and bathroom could do with a renovation.

I had a problem on my arrival as I was informed that my reservation was not in place! I was also made to sign the manual credit card printed slips, which I have never done before when booking through hotel.com! I am scared of a possible double charge!

Highland hideaway.
Well worth spoiling yourself if you’re ever in Dullstroom with undoubtedly the best boutique hotel in the area. Fireplaces in rooms just add to that extra bit of comfort. A very special hideaway.
