Loved staying at Ardmore with its family friendly, as well as couples, atmosphere. The dining staff were excellent and very friendly. Arrival was done very quickly and efficiently. The food was amazing and the Honesty Bar was a perfect touch with a great little atmosphere, each room had a little fire going and made the overall ambience very cosy and nice.

Nichts für Leute, die gern in boutiquehotels übernachten. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Oct 8, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Incredible Location and Staff; Regretable Rooms I came here on a solo trip to hike the Drakensberg, and it was a wonderful success! Ardmore is situated on a beautiful property with spectacular views and nice walks that leave from the farm itself. 15 minutes driving, you can also start much more adventurous hikes from the Drakensberg Park at the Monk’s Cowl trail head, and those day hikes are wonderful and very well-marked. The service at Ardmore is phenomenal, and I loved their nightly, 3-course dinner (R195 extra per meal). They also have an honesty bar and lots of activities (a pool, paddle board, volleyball, etc.) that you can spend your afternoon doing. My only hesitation with recommending this resort to others, though, is the outdated (and kind of gross) rooms. Everything in the room and bathroom is extraordinarily worn out, and the bathroom had a very unpleasant musty smell. I chose to spend my non-sleeping time in the lovely common areas and only used my room to bathe and sleep. ##### Sean Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John, Clearwater, FL USA May 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Total Tranquility We loved the quite solitude and exceptional view of Cathkin Peak. Having tea in the afternoon and all you can hear is the rustle of the leaves in the gentle breeze and various bird calls, including the cooing of doves. ##### John Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 20, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rural idyll. We received a very warm welcome and staff were excellent for the duration of our stay. We had a large room with views of the Drakensberg, comfortable furniture and bed, and a spacious bathroom with bath and shower. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Jan 29, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect mountain retreat Really beautiful location, friendly staff, very pleasant stay. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Nov 7, 2017 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Optisch schön gelegenes Guest House Ardmore liegt sehr schön und günstig für Trips/Wanderungen in die Drakensberge. Man wohnt in einzelnen Hütten bzw. Cottages und es gibt ein zentrales Guest House mit Restaurant und Pool. Wir hatten die größte Art der Cottages, welche recht komfortabel, gemütlich und geräumig sind. Leider sind sie auch schon etwas "angeranzt". Die Anlage ist abgelegen und nur über eine am Ende 4 km lange Schotterstraße erreichbar. Da man das im Dunklen nicht fährt, ist man abends auf das Restaurant angewiesen, welches mittelmäßiges Essen serviert. Preis Leistung von Unterkunft und Frühstück waren ok. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jul 6, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Rustikt lantligt ställe nära underbar natur Personalen var vänlig, hjälpsam, närvarande och hjälpte till både med rekommendationer på dagsturer såväl som med att visa runt på gården och ta oss med att klappa fåren. Naturen i trakten var storslagen och vandringarna vi gjorde, i närheten av Monk's Cowl, var fantastiska. Rummet låg i ett konverterat stall med tjocka stenväggar. Det var rätt kyligt mitt i den sydafrikanska vintern men bubbelbadet och den öppna spisen vägde upp. Middagarna var också suveräna! ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Nomfundo Sep 10, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Nomfundo Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jaykson Dec 26, 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jaykson Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Altafiumara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Villa-San-Giovanni-Hotels-Altafiumara-Resort-Spa.h1366348.Hotel-Information) > > [Beechwood B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Beechwood-BB.h18303560.Hotel-Information) > > [Playacar Palace All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Playacar-Palace-All-Inclusive.h41060.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Vancouver-Vancouver-Hotels.0-n6058432-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Winnipeg Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Winnipeg-Airport.h7678494.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Chateau-Motel.h4591746.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Centre Fort Garry](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Centre-Fort-Garry.h52976.Hotel-Information) > > [Ventus at Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Ventus-At-Marina-El-Cid-Spa-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h20262777.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Durham Region](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Durham-Region.d3000651856.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Bed-And-Breakfast.d6057903-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [flynas](https://www.expedia.ca/Flynas-Flights.cXY.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Maia (OPO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/opo/toronto-to-porto) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from London (YXU) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxu/mbj/london-to-montego-bay) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/mbj/edmonton-to-montego-bay) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mnl/toronto-to-manila) ### Activities ### Packages > [Festival Hall Centre for the Arts](https://www.expedia.ca/Festival-Hall-Centre-For-The-Arts-Pembroke.d6294624.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Clearwater Beach Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Clearwater-Beach.d10759.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Switzerland Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Switzerland.d174.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
