Comfortable, pleasant and enjoyable.

We enjoyed staying at Bancroft B&B. Our host Tina was very friendly, accommodating and nothing was too much effort for her. She made us feel at home and assisted us in every way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We could not stay for breakfast, but Tina packed us a lovely 'breakfast on the go'. We will return to Bancroft B&B for yet another stay should we ever be in the Hilton area again.

Clean, tidy and friendly.

Place was clean and tidy, somewhat dated and in need of a little modernisation. We were 6 adults (3 couples) and 2 of the couples had to share a bathroom, which was okay, but not ideal. As a family room this would have been okay, but as separate couples this was a challenge.

Aangename oornagverblyf.

Aangename, netjiese verblyf, ontbyt kon beter gewees het met sap vir kinders en dalk vars brood, maar oor die algemeen was alles aanvaarbaar.

Pleasant overnight stay.

Pleasant, tidy accommodation, breakfast could have been better with juice for children and maybe fresh bread, but in general everything was acceptable.

Quiet place neat and tidy.

Tina is the best hostess one could ever ask for. Thank you for taking us into your home. The guesthouse is beautifully furnished with ample space in the rooms. Its only the parking space that lacks a bit, and it needs quite maneuvrering to fit in.

Bancroft B&B 's response

Dear Karlin

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. it was so lovely to have you both here and especially to meet Varkie. What a cutie pie! I've never had a hedgehog stay here before!
You were wonderful friendly guests and a pleasure to host.
I do hope to see you again.
All the best in October.

Spotless accommodation in beautiful garden.

The owner went of her way to make me feel welcome. The accommodation was roomy and spotless. Breakfast was delicious. Privacy is a bit of an issue, as there is foot traffic in front of the room's windows, and the television's sound system needs fixing, but that is nit-picking. A lovely stay for anyone.

Vriendelike diens, skoon en netjies.

Ons het net een aand oorgeslaap, maar dit was regtig baie lekker. Die eienaar was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons kamer was skoon en netjies, beddens slaap lekker. Die ontbyt en koffie was net so lekker. Die plek oor die algemeen is baie mooi, skoon en netjies. Ek kon nie fout vind nie. Sal Bancroft B&B definitief aanbeveel.

So tuis soos by jou eie huis!

Tina is 'n merkwaardige gasvrou. Mens voel asof jy by ou vriende tuisgaan. Binne 'n japtrap was alles uitgesorteer en kon ons net rustig ontspan. Die kamers en huis is baie netjies en gerieflik. Die ontbyt laat jou voel asof jy in 'n hotel tuis is. 5-ster-gehalte. Sal Bancroft enige tyd aanbeveel. Waarde vir geld.

Tina is a remarkable hostess. You feel as if you are staying with old friends. In no time everything was sorted and we could just relax. The rooms and house are very neat and comfortable. The breakfast makes you feel as if you are at home in a hotel. 5 star quality. Would recommend Bancroft anytime. Value for money.

Dit was so lekker om elke oggend aan die ontbyt tafel te sit en die voëltjies dop te hou wat kom eet. Bancroft is in 'n baie rustige omgewing. Ek en my dogter het baie lekker gebly.
