Honesty and comfort.

We had a wonderful stay at Amblewood Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and the hospitality was outstanding. The cottage was impeccably clean, with all facilities working perfectly, just as promised. We experienced complete privacy with ample space to relax, and there were no interruptions throughout our stay. The hosts were highly professional, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. We highly recommend Amblewood Cottage to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful getaway.

Rus en vrede.

Hi. Ons het werksmense gehad wat 'n paar daggies daar moes bly om naby te wees. Die boodskap was duidelik, dat hulle baie lekker gebly het en die plekkie was goed ingerig en netjies. Ons sal beslis weer van hulle gebruikmaak. Dankie.

Rest and peace.

Hi. We had work people who needed to stay there for a few days to be close by. The message was clear, that they had a great stay and the place was well appointed and neat. We will definitely use them again. Thank you.

Rustig en ontspanne.

Ek en my gesin het ons verblyf by Amblewood Cottages geniet sowel as die rustige en ontspanne atmosfeer. Die stilte was verwelkomend. Dit was netjies en skoon asook goed toegerus.

A gem in Grahamstown.

My recent stay at Amblewood Cottages in Grahamstown was delightful. The property itself was beautifully maintained and impeccably clean. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming. They even went out of their way to recommend a remedy for my cold sores, which was a thoughtful gesture. The housekeepers were equally friendly and attentive, especially to my son. They made him feel right at home with their warm and engaging conversations. The location was perfect for exploring the area. It was within walking distance of Peppergrove Mall, making it convenient for shopping and dining. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Amblewood Cottages to anyone visiting Grahamstown.

Excellent home away from home with complete privacy and non-interfering host.

Absolutely perfect. Came all the way from Cape Town with a group of friends from RSA and Switzerland. We were all very impressed by the privacy and the excellent facilities.

I enjoyed my 3 nights stay. I think a simple/study table is an absolute necessity.

It was great. I'm not sure though why it's called Amblewood B&B as I was told they don't serve breakfast. Perhaps self-catering is an accurate description, as they have really lovely self-catering facilities.

Amblewood Cottages 's response

Hi Chaile,
Hope you are well. We did serve breakfasts in the past - hence the name. However, due to work commitments in our other business, I could not continue serving cooked breakfasts. Currently, we supply continental breakfasts if you inform us in advance. Despite our history, the listing on LekkeSlaap is under self-catering. Unfortunately, we cannot change the name of our establishment or email address. Also, we are currently installing a desk and are merely waiting for the carpenter. He has been quite busy. I hope you had a great time in Grahamstown!

Netjies, ruim en gerieflik.

Plek is netjies en ons het lekker gebly. Amblewood is ongelukkig aan die ander kant van die dorp en ons moes ongelukkig deur die dorp se slegte paaie ry om daar uit te kom. Woonstel is agter in die erf, 2 eenhede langs mekaar en aan die huis. (Ongelukkig het 'n stukkie bloudraad in die oprit geparkeer en die area het 'n pap wiel veroorsaak in ons boswa.)

Clean, spacious and comfortable.

Place is neat and we had a nice stay. Amblewood is unfortunately on the other side of town and we unfortunately had to drive through the town's bad roads to get there. Apartment is at the back of the property, 2 units next to each other and attached to the house. (Unfortunately a piece of blue wire parked in the driveway and the area caused a flat tire in our forest trailer.)
