A great place to stay. Value for money excellent.

The accommodation was great, everything one could need was provided (including firewood)! The view over the Spring Grove dam is superb.

This was by far the most beautiful place I have been to. The house itself has everything you might need and more. It was clean, well-equipped with an absolutely breathtaking view. Our host was incredibly gracious and regularly checked in to ensure we were still enjoying our stay.

Exceptional cottage in a breathtaking setting!

An exceptional break in a breathtaking location. Nothing can beat that view from the cottage over Spring Grove Dam! And the safety is so great, walking there is both fitness and food for the soul, including the trail around the dam. I walked every day a few times a day, and it was full moon, and the birds were prolific! Wow! I will definitely come again. Pity about the potholes to get there on about 8 km of municipal roads though!

Crags Cottage 's response

Thank you, Janis. I feel very spoilt to be living where I do and it's just a pleasure to share that with others. Maybe the potholes get sorted as the section beyond Vaalekop is currently undergoing major structural repair so hopefully, but don't hold your breath, the first section will be next? The local farmers do their best to fill them but the recent heavy rains have removed much of the gravel. I'm sure they will redo shortly as the rainy season is coming to an end.

Weekend getaway in Nottingham.

The cottage has beautiful views and more than enough space inside. Well equipped for cooking at home or a braai outside. Just a note that the cottage is not serviced on weekends, so the fireplace can get full quickly. Unfortunately, one of the rooms was not made up when we arrived, but it was done the next morning.

Ek sou 4 nagte bly en het op die ou end 6 nagte gebly. Ek kon net nie genoeg kry van die rustigheid en ongelooflike uitsig nie. Dis nog mooier as op die foto's. Die huisie is baie gerieflik met alles wat jy nodig het. Voel regtig soos huis.

Lovely view, but bathrooms were not up to standard. Thank you for the refund of the 2 nights we opted not to stay there further.

Bed was very uncomfortable and lumpy. Bathroom was definitely not up to standard. View was absolutely magnificent. A pity about the bed and bathroom.

Crags Cottage 's response

Thank you Margie, for your feedback. The mattress is a Dynamic Gold with a10 year warranty and is turned every second month. Purchased in 2017. The lumps may have been caused by the electric blanket connection or a creased/"frumpled" electric blanket. I have not had complaints prior to or since your stay so I trust all is good. The mould in the showers has been taken care of to the best we can. There are still a couple of small spots in bathroom 2 which are very stubborn. My apologies for the inconvenience. Graham

Fantastiese plek met 'n asemrowende uitsig.

Crags Cottage is gepas vir enkelreisigers, familie groep, vriende ens. Dit was baie netjies en die mense is aangenaam. Ons was baie tevrede, ek het dit vir my ouers bespreek wat kom kuier het vir die naweek en hulle wil sommer hierheen trek nadat hulle daar gebly het. Ek sal weer gebruik maak van hulle.

Dit was fantasties om uit die stad weg te breek en die rustigheid te beleef. Ons het die uitsig en helende stilte ingedrink terwyl ons ons vergaap aan die bedrywigheid van voëls in alle kleure van die reënboog.

Wonderlike, stil en rustige verblyf met pragtige uitsig vanaf die stoep.

As jy na stilte en rustigheid soek, is hierdie die ideale bestemming. Die huis was gerieflik vir ons drie en die stoep met die uitsig is 'n wenner. Die hoofslaapkamer se badkamer is ongemaklik klein. Ons het las van miere gehad in die kombuis, het dit aan die eienaar genoem. Ten spyte van die voorafgaande kommentaar, het ons die verblyf terdeë geniet. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Wonderful, quiet and peaceful accommodation with a beautiful view from the stoep.

If you're craving peace and quiet, this is the perfect destination. The house was comfortable for the 3 of us and the porch with the view is a winner. The main bedroom's bathroom is uncomfortably small. We had ants in the kitchen and mentioned it to the owner. Apart from that we really thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation. Great value for money.

Juweel in die hartjie van die Midlands.

Skoon, netjies, ten volle toegerus. Ons sal verseker weer gaan om die mooie natuur en rustigheid te geniet. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik asook die twee woefs wat so nou en dan kom hallo sê. Die suikerbekkies op die stoepie is te oulik en die mooiste natuurtonele met sonsopkoms en sonsondergang so oor die dam. Van die beste plekke waar ons al gebly het! Baie dankie Graham en Shirley.

Ons het as 'n familie by Crags Cottage gebly om die area te verken.

Ons sal Crags Cottage enige tyd aanbeveel. Die ligging is fantasties en die kothuis is gerieflik ingerig, heerlik snoesig in koue weer en die uitsig fantasties! Die kaggel was 'n groot bederf en het die plekkie heerlik warm gemaak.
