Nice and quiet area, and it was close to where we were attending our son's tournament.
Lindisfarne B&B 's response
Hi Dineo
Thank you for your positive review. I am surprised about the cats as they are not allowed in the guest rooms or the dining room. They spend most of the time outside or at night locked in our flat and I have never had anyone complain about them, even those who are phobic as they don't see much of them. I am certainly not aware of any 'smell'. Our area is pretty high in pollen content at this time of the year, especially with our plane trees. Perhaps this is what you were reacting to? I am very sensitive to grasses, change of season etc, and I too suffer from sinus, which is why I always travel with antihistamines as a precaution.
Regards Jane

Not that bad.
Lindisfarne B&B 's response
Hi Tebogo,
I am surprised at your security concerns, especially as you have stayed here before and did not voice any concerns then. Your unit is on armed response with a panic button, as well as all the usual security measures on doors and windows. There are security beams in the garden and cameras focused on the gate that you are worried about. The vehicles are all parked in a certain area where we have security measures in place. The gates are closed at night (provided a guest doesn't leave them open), and I am certainly not aware that you had any 'intruder' issues during either of your visits that would make you feel uncomfortable. We have many security features, most of which are hidden as we do not want our guests to feel like they are coming to a crime-ridden area with razor wire, etc. Our security is a lot more subtle but very effective.
Regards, Jane

Even before we left from our house, we received some messages of welcome from Jane and we were very kindly received by her and her co-host upon our arrival. Our stay was like a home away from home. We told them that it felt like we were staying with friends and not in a strange B&B. They are two very interesting people who are both professional artists, she a singer and he a guitarist. They perform together at a local restaurant on Sundays. When you're there, ask him to show you his guitar collection in his 'studio'! We will visit them again when we are in the area again.

Hi Attie, thank you so much for your positive review. You guys were an absolute pleasure to have. It was a joy that you showed such an interest in us as people and not just as hosts of the B&B. Next time you are here, I do hope you get to see us perform at one of our local gigs. Have a wonderful festive season and hope to see you in the New Year. Regards, Jane

Hi, Sanet
Thank you for your positive review. We loved hosting you and your lovely family.
I wish to address your comment about paying for the washing of dishes.
Our T’s and C’s were sent to you on the 10th of March 2023, wherein it states “Self-catering rates include light daily servicing. Dishes and personal laundry can be arranged with housekeeping at an additional fee.” You were therefore aware that we charge for this service prior to arrival, there is also a notice displayed in the kitchen.
In our “self-catering” units, the washing of dishes is considered an “additional service” like transport or personal laundry. This money goes directly to the housekeeper as a “tip” for providing you with this service. We do not consider the recommended amount of R20 a day to be excessive or unreasonable. This is an optional choice for the guest, which can be budgeted for and decided on before arrival.
We hope to see you again should you ever be in our area.
Regards, Jane

Hi, Elna thank you for your very positive review. Unfortunately, sometimes there have to be some compromises with home accommodation. I did show you alternative parking nearer the unit to offload your bags and It is really no further than parking outside a hotel and taking your bags into the foyer and up to a room much closer in fact.
We hope to see you again when you are in our area.

Rest for your soul is what you will find here! It is ideally located and sometimes you just want to stay there during the day as it is so peaceful. The (quality) facilities are ideal and the atmosphere is lovely. The hostess is pleasant and her breakfasts were delicious! It was the perfect place to end a long and demanding year. I will definitely be looking for/making excuses to stay there again as soon as possible!

Nice place, value for money, quiet and peaceful.
Lindisfarne B&B 's response
Hi Osborne, thank you for your very positive review. The reason we do the dishes this way is in order to generate a tip for our staff. This is a self-catering unit and the washing of dishes is an extra service our housekeeping staff provide. This money goes to them directly which is why it is not included in the rate. You do of course have the option of washing your own dishes and not having to pay at all or negotiate a set fee with them which can be paid up front for dishes to be done during your stay.

Good day Louis,
Thank you for your very positive review.
Just to clear up the confusion regarding the small kitchen - You requested Room 1 which does not have a kitchen. Only the Studio has a kitchen. Just as well as you brought an extra person who would not have fitted into the Studio but Room 1 did have the extra space. I will check the website descriptions to make sure they are accurate but I am sure they are as I have never had this problem before with people expecting a kitchen in Room 1. Prior to booking next time, please let us know in the message box of any specific requirements so we can recommend the best room for you.
Hope your back is better!

Comfortable and homely.
Lindisfarne B&B 's response
Hi Keneilwe
Thank you for your review and constructive criticism.
I would however like to respond as follows: Over the last 18 years we have managed to create a breakfast that appeals to 90% of people, as you can see from the positive reviews below. The balance of course have particular needs such as vegetarians, diabetics and some for religious reasons. We have found that the English breakfast is the most popular and we always have a vegetarian option available.
It is with respect that we suggest when travelling should you or your friends have specific diet needs or preferences, that you communicate them to the establishment either prior to arrival or on arrival. That way we can try and offer you the options you require whilst keeping within the costing of our standard breakfast. We are well known for our service and going the extra mile to try and make our guests stay a more than average experience.
