I arrived early afternoon and was checked in immediately. I had forgotten to load my South Africa map on to my TomTom GPS before leaving the UK and the lady of the house helped me do this on her own computer for which I will be eternally grateful. room was nice with balcony with table and chairs and river view. Bathroom had a tub - wonderful- and there were plenty of electrical points to charge phone etc. I walked to the nearby Quay Street at dusk to the recommended brew pub where I had a couple of craft beers and a tasty meal of calamari with chorizo as a starter and huge lamb shank as a main. Both accommodation and restaurant highly recommended. After the meal I walked back and, apart from the bottom of the hill, the short journey was well lit and I didn't feel threatened at all. ##### Mr d Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### C.Q. Jan 8, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Pleasant Stay with no frills The hostess Pat was very helpful and accommodating and went out of her way to assist with every query we had regarding local Restaurant recommendations etc.. A comfortable place to stay if only looking for a place to sleep but amenities such as WIFI did not work very well and some maintenance required; ie broken tiles on staircase etc.. ##### C.Q.

That is beyond the best service that I have ever had at any hotel. ##### Michael and Jud ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mandla Jan 9, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Its was great area and owners are very kind and their advice about the areas of interests was very helpful ##### Mandla ### 10/10 Excellent #### June Oct 22, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Pat and Des were most welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay.
