    “The place is absolutely stunning with beautiful gardens. I was staying with my husband and by son so we had booked a room that had a sofa bed in the lounge and our bedroom was upstairs. For Our stay in Cape Town we used Air BnB’s and for Franschhoek we wanted a hotel stay so finding affordable suitable accommodation for 3 adults this place matched what we needed. The room was a great size and the main bedroom bed was really comfortable. The furnishings are a little tired and need updating but the place was spotless. It is equipped with a TV but it wasn’t connected to anything despite a channel list indicating it had digital channels. I couldn’t find someone to ask in the evening and we only wanted it for a football fix while we played cards so it wasn’t a deal breaker. This is a guest house not a hotel so it is truly a bed and breakfast so don’t expect 24/7 reception and bars . This is what we loved about it was quiet and homely. The main attraction is the pool and gardens, you can comfortably stay all day there, the loungers were so comfortable and you won’t get tired of the surroundings. The staff and the owners were so welcoming and helpful, even attended to a small scratch on my hire car .”

    “A stunning setting for a few days relaxation. The team were very friendly, welcoming - particularly the morning team who remembered what I liked for breakfast each morning. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Franschhoek was a beautiful place to spend a short break and enjoy the wineries.”

  • Id like to see more inspection by the senior management on the areas of weakness

    “The flooring in the main section of house, was dangerously lit, very dark in the day with no lighting. As a visitor who was not used to the different levels it proved unsafe. Particularly because the house manager on duty had this habit of constantly turning out the lights in the sittingroom. I therefore took a massive tumble flying across the floor in the dark unaware of the difference in floor levels. I landed on my knees and hands. I hurt my wrist and badly bruised a knee. The cleaner for our room did not replenish the breakfast tray. She left used tea bags on the tray.”

    “Lovely property with nice staff serving breakfast. The breakfast was very good, and had everything we needed. The gardens were beautifully presented, with a nice pool and sun loungers with towels supplied. It's a 20 min walk into town, which we did not do at night, but there are some lovely restaurants when you get to the centre of town. It's over priced for the room we had, which was disappointing. I had booked a garden view room but we ended up with the car park view. The room was extremely dark even during the day. There's a leak in the shower which caused the floor to be slippery right at the doorway of the bathroom. The most extraordinary thing about our stay is that on our first night we were the only ones in the hotel with no staff. Of all my years of travel I have never had that experience before. For many people that would be extremely concerning from a security and well-being perspective. It's perceived to be a five star hotel, but unfortunately it's definitely not the case.”

  • Absolutely amazing, thank you

    “Breakfast choice was amazing even though only 2 rooms were occupied. The Manor House is charming, spotlessly clean with added touches of fresh flowers in the rooms. Hidden away just outside the town, the peaceful location feels completely isolated yet is only minutes from Franschhoek. The gardens and grounds are immaculate, all the staff were really friendly and helpful. Our stay couldn’t have been better. We’ll definitely return, for longer next time”

  • Beautiful, relaxing stay.

    “We arrived to be greeted by a nice but untrained but helpful guy who took our details and we were shown to a dreadful back of the house dark room. We thought for over £300 a night that it was going to be a terrible experience. Because the hotel was empty this guy rang his boss in Thailand and we managed to get a nice room. The gardens and pool area are excellent and the breakfast good and plentiful. The day staff were very nice. All in all a good experience. We gather they are selling the property and so have made cutbacks. Not really worth the money. .”

  • Beautifully appointed and peaceful Cape house, very friendly, helpful staff, beautiful gardens and terrace.
