Clarence breaks away.
We decided at the last minute to visit Clarens and chose Cottage Pie as accommodation. Only the Log Cabin was available of the 4 x units. Although the outside of the cabin looks a little tired, everything was neat, clean and comfortable inside. Cottage Pie is well located very close to the walking trails.

The log cabin was my last sleepover before my months-long road trip came to an end. The view is up the mountain, lovely.
It exceeded my expectations of a log cabin in the middle of winter in the Free State. I never met hostess Karen in person. She only communicated via WhatsApp. The bed was very comfortable. Electric blanket was a big plus as was the gas heater. The kitchen was so equipped that you could make food and coffee in the midst of loadshedding, which is a big plus. After a day of exploring and walking around, the log cabin was really a cozy "coming home" place to stay.

We went to Clarens for our honeymoon and just have to say that Cottage Pie really impressed us.
The cottage was neat and clean and located in a very nice place (not in the hustle and bustle of the town). We stayed in the upper thatched roof room, and we really enjoyed it. The customer service was also great - I communicated with the owner (Karen) on Whatsapp and she kept us informed about everything. Would definitely recommend Cottage Pie!

Stylish, but be prepared for loadshedding!
The establishment is advertised as pet friendly, but just make sure they have read the messages beforehand if you are trying to arrange for pets. They were surprised when we arrived with a dog and a cat. But the stay was still very nice. The wooden house sits at the foot of a mountain, and has a small garden in front, with lovely seating and a barbecue area next to a stream. The only thing that could make our stay better is if there was a gas stove as well. It was very cold the 2 nights we were there, and with loadshedding in the evening you really just want to be able to drink a cup of coffee. Furthermore, it was lovely, picture-perfect and very clean and tidy.

The stay period at Cottage Pie was wonderful. The photos on the page do not show the real beautiful picture that the place is in person. The service was good and the room very nice and cozy. The only setback was the location against the mountain (although very beautiful) which affects the signal and the temperature (in the winter months).

So jammer om te hoor van jou klagtes.
Die Houthuisie, Rustic Wooden Cabin, word duidelik geadverteer geen Wi-Fi en geen TV. Jy het nooit tydens julle kuier met my gekommunikeer in verband met enige navrae of versoeke nie, so ek kon gevolglik geen verduideliking aanbied nie.
Ons is altyd meer as bereid om ons gaste dadelik by te staan met versoeke. Gesels gerus volgende keer sommer dadelik met my as daar enige iets is waarmee ek kan help.
Tot volgende keer, bly gesond en gelukkig.

Without a doubt the most wonderful accommodation experience I have had with a small family. Can't recommend the Cottage Pie family unit enough.
The family unit at Cottage Pie is a fully equipped house full of character, which was absolutely perfect for our family of 5, with beautiful, spacious and 'cozy' rooms. Thanks to two coal stoves, the whole house is wonderfully heated; and with the garden literally bordering the nature reserve, we couldn't have asked for more. Karen was so kind and hospitable, it was truly an unforgettable experience. We will see the Cottage Pie again for sure!

Not for people who are full of fiemies.
We stayed in the Owner Unit. The place is more suitable for 2 people. It is very cramped and there is not really any storage space for luggage. The kitchen is tiny and there is almost no work space. The cutlery, kettle and two-plate stove are out of the old box and need to be replaced. The braai has also seen better days and the garden set is also from 1980. One expects with the amount you pay per night that the place has been upgraded. People with back problems will also not sleep comfortably on the beds, they are very soft. One can also hear guests moving around in the upper floor. Also, don't expect to be able to lie down and relax in front of the TV, it's very small and tucked into a cupboard. Good points: fresh bedding and close to the mountain for hiking trails.

Goeie dag Jana,
Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Ek is baie bly ons kon julle en julle 2 Scotties met vroeg inklok tyd akkomodeer die Saterdag.

Jammer om te hoor dat jy nie ons "Vintage" gevoel geniet het nie maar darm die beddegoed en die berge.

Karen was very friendly and was in touch the day we had to arrive to wish us a speedy trip. The location a little further from the town is exactly what we wanted to get out of the busy tourist town. There was a cleaning service every day that made up the beds, washed the dishes and even cleared the ash in the braai. It's very convenient. If you are self catering, the fridge is too small to accommodate everything, but I have to say we stayed longer than the normal weekend visitor. Take a stroll to The Artist Café, lovely coffee and Karen's restaurant.

Disappointing.
The two rooms we booked were inadequate. Not suitable for self catering. The photos on the overview page are misleading and the large table on the veranda is not available for visitors in the two rooms. The wire chairs in the garden are old and inadequate - bent leg caused my elderly father to fall. The kitchen is very small and poorly equipped. I had to ask for a bread knife, there is no grater, a choice between very small glasses or beer glasses. A two plate stove, no oven, very little work space and a very small bar fridge. The hostess blamed us for misunderstanding the website and even if we had she should have taken the attitude that she wanted to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Unfortunately, it was an unpleasant experience.

Goeie dag Estie
Die 2 kamers wat jy bespreek het se beskrywings is baie duidelik. Upstairs under Thatch Room het nie kombuis of privaat braaigeriewe nie. Die Bedsitter Unit lys die toerusting in die kombuis duidelik item vir item en sê ingerig vir basiese selfsorg. Nêrens word stoof of oond genoem. Oorsig fotos gee 'n oorsig in die geheel. Kamer fotos en kamer beskrywings is daar sodat jy as gas seker kan maak dat dit wat jy bespreek aan jou behoeftes voldoen. Jy het presies gekry wat jy bespreek het.
Ons het jou wel probeer tegemoet kom deur die groot hout tafel, wat nie gelys is in die kamers wat jy vir jou en jou mense bespreek het nie, wel omgedra is na die Bedsitter se tuin, met groot moeite, vir jou om julle verblyf so aangenaam moontlik te maak.
Hoop julle vlug terug na London was goed en die nuwe jaar voorspoedig.

This was our 2nd visit to Cottage Pie and like the previous occasion a nice rest. The room is well furnished with everything needed and very comfortable.

Cottage Pie 's response
Hi Inalize,
Happy to hear that you loved Cottage Pie and thank you for our stars
All our gravel roads in Clarens are part of the charm we like to believe, only Main Road being tarred, but I acknowledge the fact that for the 800 odd meters of gravel road to Cottage Pie slow driving is recommended, especially after rain.
Thank you for mentioning that it was worth the drive
We look forward to welcoming you back to Cottage Pie.
Kind regards,
Karen

Good location but can definitely improve.
Few points: 1) The website calls it 'self-catering' but there's not even a sink to wash your dishes? 2) It's winter in Clarens so the heater will definitely be used. If you turn on the kettle, the power goes out - Nobody informs you about this and you just have to look around to see where to turn it on again. 3) The website states 'Safe Parking'. Hmm. On Cottage Pie's property someone broke into my car and tools and clothes were stolen. Almost my bike too! Summary: We did not sleep well, mostly awake.

Cottage Pie 's response
Goeie dag Pieter,
Ons het in ons epos kommunikasie (ek stuur al ons kommunikasie aan na Lekkeslaap) die 2-3 weke voor jou inklok datum die "selfsorg " term uitgeklaar as "geen etes ingesluit". Ek vind dit vreemd dat jy steeds nie verstaan nie, alhoewel jy in jou in jou epos en ons telefoniese gesprek daarna, die term verstaan het.
Volgens die webwerf se inligting is dit duidelik dat jy 'n oornag kamer bespreek het, en nie een van die eenhede met 'n kitchenette of kombuis is nie. Die beskrywing vir die kamer is is ook duidelik. Ook dat, ten spyte van my verduideliking aan jou oor presies hoe die kamer ingerig is en dat jou kamer elke dag gediens word, wat die was van jou skottelgoed insluit, jy nou daaroor ontevrede is.
Tydens jou 3 dae verblyf het jy nie een keer genoem dat daar probleem is met krag wat uitskop nie. Ek wonder hoe die krag weer aangesit is aangesien daar geen kragbord in die kamer is nie. Die skoonmaak dames het ook bevestig die kamer elke dag krag gehad het ten tye van die skoonmaak en diens.
In 20 jaar is daar nog nooit ingebreek op die perseel. Oor die langnaweek was daar nie minder as 5 voertuie geparkeer met geen probleme. Die inbraak is ook nie aan ons genoem of aangemeld by Clarens SAPD nie. Dit laat my ook met vrae oor die bakkie se alarm wat nie afgegaan het tydens die inbraak nie.
Dit is altyd jammer as daar na 3 dae se verblyf waarin daar geen probleem onder ons aandag gebring word so negatiewe skrywe ontvang word. Ons is altyd bereid om te help indien enige probleem onder ons aandag gebring word. Om meer as week later op die resensie blad te lees oor jou klagtes gee ons geen geleentheid om jou te help om lekker te slaap nie.
Groete,
Karen

The Cottage Pie family unit exceeded our wildest dreams: it is spacious, neat and well equipped with a beautiful large English Garden next to the nature reserve and close to routes for walking, jogging and cycling!
We will remember our stay at Cottage Pie's family unit in December 2016 forever. We had a lovely relaxing time and tremendously enjoyed the walking trails in the next-door nature reserve. The unit is furnished with gorgeous wooden furniture, has a lovely well equipped kitchen, even a reading room where you can just relax the whole day when the weather doesn't play along, a cosy outdoor patio, bedrooms with the loveliest fresh linen, and lots of packing space. The gorgeous garden is an absolute pleasure. Our unit was serviced daily.

It was a lovely relaxing weekend, far from the city's noise! The log cabin is really in the woods and up the mountain - wonderfully cool and eerily quiet in the evening! Shower cubicle a little on the small side but the instant hot water was a winner and although we would have preferred a much firmer mattress, we almost fell asleep the first morning - thanks to the silence and the coolness! Knowing that I will definitely stay there again on the next occasion!

An average stay
It was my partner's first experience of Clarens, so the accommodation I booked was very important to me. My children also drove through to spend the time with us and this certainly also contributed to how we would experience our stay. I was pretty disappointed though. Obviously the garden can't look like it does on the website (it's winter after all) but the rooms themselves really didn't look the same as in the photos. It felt a little sloppy. Beds were quite a problem for all of us because they are hard! Thanks for the coffee but it's a shame we didn't get milk for it. I can only emphasize again that Karen is extremely pleasant and made an effort to welcome us. It was nice to meet her.
