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.

In effective communication

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!

Very good property with friendly staff

Check in a little slow, the hotel could not find our reservation. Other than that, staff very friendly and helpful, beautiful property and nice breakfast.

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.

Some work needed

Upon arrival we were disappointed in that many of the items / features that were published on the booking sites were in fact not offered. Contrary to what was advertised, there was no airconditioning, coffee maker, in-room telephone, Wi-Fi in rooms nor luxury bedding. In fact, the bedding was almost threadbare with a hostel-type blanket underneath the duvet to give some warmth. The mattress on our bed needed replacement. We highlighted this to the current managers. Their explanations made it clear why the features were not available and why the buildings were in need of urgent maintenance. Apparently the hotel group had been liquidated and was recently taken over by new owners. Efforts are underway to catch up with a two-year backlog of neglect. The rooms but especially the common areas have a luxurious and classy feel. Rooms are huge but as mentioned need some maintenance. The spirit of the managers who were apparently appointed two weeks prior to our stay, made our stay memorable one. The breakfast was outstanding and all staff offered service with a smile. I am confident that advertised quality and a 5 star rating might be achieved.

Hög klass!!

Utmärkt boende i många bemärkelse. Tyvärr blev det enbart en natt denna gången men skall säkerligen boka en längre vistelse när området besökes igen.

Fantastic palace

This hotel is amazing. The staff couldn't do enough for you. We were made to feel like lord and lady. Drinks were very reasonable in price. Although we were the only guests in the hotel the staff were still as enthusiastic as if the place was full. We stayed in suite 1 it was amazing. Had a fire in the fireplace in the evening very romantic. Definitely would stay here again should we ever be in the area. We also went to a whiskey tasting just down the road .. well worth a couple of hours.

Great location for Dullstroom

The hotel was convenient for our overnight stay in Dullstroom. However the hotel room was looking tired and could do with a revamp. Staff member Simon was excellent and had great Public Relations skills. However the staff member on duty at Reception forgot our request for one teabag which was disappointing.

Unimpressed

Bed was hard. TV remote didn't work and had to ask twice to get it resolved. room was average. No water on morning of departure. No wireless in the rooms. Lamp next to bed stopped working. Breakfast was below average. Not what I would expect from a 5 star rating or even 4 stars.
