Could see that this used to be great (when photos were taken) While it was was mostly clean, there was a lot that didn’t live up to the promise or what we paid for. Lots of stains too. The bed linen is specifically tired and needing replacement - in no ways can it be called premium. There was no Wi-Fi and no bathtub - also both mentioned in the property description for the superior cottage (Crane Cottage). Convenient for the hockey festival at Michaelhouse and beautiful views but can’t say too much more of a positive nature

Run down. Shabby and musty. Furniture ancient. Barely space for 4adults in the so called ‘open plan kitchen, dining and longe areas. Appliances old. Website said that there was a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. We didn’t carry food hoping to eat there. On calling the owner he insisted that there was never a restaurant on site. We had to leave immediately. Drove 150 km back home. Most annoyed. Overgrowth on the path to the lodge scratched my brand new vehicle. Pissed off.

At peace in this beautiful part of our Country. Needed a place to rest for just one night - took the Nottingham Hill Road Offramp and chose this Guest Farm. Tranquil and beautiful setting, comfortable bed, adequate kitchen, hot water and great for long walks.
