Goeie diens, lekker ete en gemaklike nagrus.

Baie goeie waarde vir geld. Die kamer was ruim en die bed was baie gemaklik. Die stort het goeie waterdruk gehad. Die ontbyt was smaaklik, ek het nie sulke spesiale ete verwag vir die prys wat ek betaal het nie. Die eienaar was gaaf en professioneel.

Gasvrye ontvangs , rustige verblyf met heerlike ontbyt.

Rob was 'n baie aangename en hulpvaardige gasheer. Alles was netjies en die verblyf was baie rustig. Ons het heerlik ontspan op die stoep, om die swembad en in die kamer. Ontbyt was heerlik. Baie aangename verblyf.

Acorn Cottage was perfect for a two night stay in Grahamstown.

The owner of the house was very charming and welcoming. The room was adequate for my needs, and I enjoyed sitting in the enclosed veranda. I was able to park my car in a huge yard and I felt very safe during my stay there. The breakfast was delicious and on the whole it was a great place.

The owner was very helpful and made the whole experience very comfortable and enjoyable, no request was too much for him.

The service by the owner was good. The room was clean and we enjoyed our stay.

A comfortable and pleasant stay.

The hosts are pleasant company, a large delicious breakfast was served, comfortable beds with electric blankets were provided and in the lounge there is interesting decor. The place also provides quiet surroundings.

Baie netjiese kothuis met alles wat nodig is.

Dis 'n netjiese selfsorgkothuis met alles wat mens nodig het. Daar is WiFi, parkering, TV, tafel, gratis tee en koffie, handdoeke en seep! Gasvrou baie vriendelik en help graag. Lekker elektriese komberse vir die winteraande en warm water om te stort. Alles in die dorp self is binne loopafstand, maar dit vat 'n goeie 20 min se stap om by Rhodes uit te kom, daarvoor is 'n motor nuttig.

Very neat cottage with everything you need.

It's a neat self-catering cottage with everything you need. There is WiFi, parking, TV, table, free tea and coffee, towels and soap! Hostess very friendly and happy to help. Nice electric blankets for the winter evenings and hot water for showering. Everything in the town itself is within walking distance, but it takes a good 20 min walk to get to Rhodes, for that a car is useful.

Sorry but better another place.

Despite the gentle and kindness of the owner the place would need substantial renewal.

Acorn Cottage Bed and Breakfast 's response

We accept your point in its entirety. We would like to point out that we are presently refurbishing 1 room completely, this should be completed in about 4 weeks. When that is done another room will follow until all the rooms are completed. Only then will outside work commence. Thank you for your constructive criticism, it is and will always be welcome.

Very average.

The shower needs a thorough scrub. Please don't place a bathroom mat by the toilet ... unhygienic. The bedroom was clean but the bedcovers, curtains and light shade are very old fashioned. A duvet is preferable. The bedroom is large but does not have a chair. The only place to sit is on a bed. Block out lining necessary on the roman blind at the door and the outside light kept me awake. The property requires major maintenance.

Disappointing. Image misleading.

Although clean and neat the cottage is a converted garage lacking style and finesse and over priced for the service rendered.

Very unpleasant stay.

No TV, no complementary coffee in the room. The room was not welcoming at all. The pillows did not have pillow cases. Awful to say the least. The gate is manually locked. It was raining and I had to get out of my car and unlock the gate padlock. If I had know they didn't have TV I wouldn't have booked it considering I was travelling alone and I don't know anyone in the area. It was not good value for money. I would not recommend this place at all.

Acorn Cottage Bed and Breakfast 's response

Hello George,
I'm sorry you feel this way, the pillow cases were a slip by an inexperienced employee, but it is my fault for not checking. Please send me your banking details and I will pass an EFT refund to you for the amount of R 550.00
Please accept my sincere apologies.
Kind regards,
Rob
