Great find. We will return.

Prior Grange is a special place steeped in history, both of the Boer War and cricket. It is a wonderful stop-off, just off the N1. Blackie, Sheryl and Stephen are wonderful hosts. This working farm deserves more than 1 night because there is much to do and see on the farm. It is the perfect place for singles, couples and families. Everyone is made welcome. The cottages and facilities are great.

A slice of heaven on earth.

It was a wonderful experience. The cottage I stayed in was the most tastefully decorated and comfortable cottage I have ever stayed in, and I travel a lot. Everything was perfect: the food, the company, the views, the pub, even the shopping experience. Simply a tiny piece of heaven on earth. I hope to stay there again.

Rustige plaas atmosfeer met ongelooflike geriewe.

Alles was puik! Bitter koue verdryf met gasverwarmer in sitarea, paneelverwarmer in slaaparea, elektriese kombers op bed, stralingsverhitter in badkamer, en laastens twee warmwatersakke! Puik etes bedien in die cottage op 'n warm skinkbord in die vertrek. Rustige plaas atmosfeer.

Rus en vrede, sagte bed, lekker kos.

Ons bly altyd lekker by Prior Grange. Sheryl en Blackie ontvang jou altyd soos ou vriende. Die kamer is altyd skoon en gerieflik ingerig. Blackie se kroeg-uurtjie is altyd gesellig en insiggewend, en die aandete legendaries lekker. 'n Instelling vir gereelde gaste, 'n MOET vir nuwe gaste.

Baie dankie vir die heerlike verblyf. Die plaas was pragtig en ek het die museum baie geniet. Die verblyf was bo verwagting met elektriese komberse en gemaklike beddens. Nie eens te praat van die lekker aandete nie. Ek sal Prior Grange vir almal aanbeveel.

Amazing accommodation, food and hosts.

We enjoyed the accommodation immensely. We had 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a lounge and a bathroom. We loved having pre-dinner drinks in the pub and then having our meals delivered to our cottage. The lamb chops were the best I've ever tasted. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay memorable.

Moet nie verder soek nie. 10/10.

Ek het by heelwat gasteplase in die groter omgewing oornag en moet sê Prior Grange staan kop en skouers bo die res uit. Die kamers is baie netjies en goed toegerus. Die plaas is baie mooi. Daar is baie geskiedenis op die plaas (ou geboue, museum, kroeg en huise). Ek het lekker rugby gekyk in die Loft Kroeg. Sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Look no further. 10/10.

I have stayed overnight at quite a few guest farms in the greater area and I have to say that Prior Grange stands head and shoulders above the rest. The rooms are very neat and well equipped. The farm is very beautiful. There is a lot of history on the farm (old buildings, museum, pub and houses). I enjoyed watching rugby in the Loft Bar. Will definitely stay there again.

Wonderful hosts and service. Comfortable chalets.

This is not the first time of staying at Prior Grange Guest Farm when driving from Johannesburg to Cape Town, and it won't be the last. The chalets are very comfortable, and meals (if booked) are delivered to the chalet. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to ensure great service. There is a fridge in every chalet that can be used for your own food, and it's stocked with drinks for purchase if needed. It's a short gravel road drive (approximately 3 km) from the main road, which is far enough but not too far. A great stopover.

Bietjies, skoon, rustig

Die diens was vriendelik, warm en professioneel. Die kamer was netjies skoon en het in al ons behoeftes voldoen. Ons het ekstra aandete en ontbyt aangevra, wat in ons kamer bedien was, dit was ongelooflik lekker en meer as genoeg. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar oorslaap en dit met gemoedsrus aanbeveel.

We had a short stop over stay on our way to the Kruger Park. We have stayed at Prior Grange on a number of occassions and is remains a peaceful and comfortable spot in the Karoo.

AS awlays we had a wonderful stay. It was great to have a peaceful walk along the farm roads before retiring for a sundowner at our host's pub followed by a delicious dinner of roast karoo lamb.

We had a lovely overnight stay en route back to Cape Town.

We stayed in Oval Cottage which was well-appointed and had lovely warm bed linen and electric blankets to combat the freezing winter night. A peaceful, enjoyable overnight stay and the honesty bar were much appreciated, so lovely to have a glass of red wine in front of the fire after a long day's journey. Thank you!

Our overnight stay on this exceptionally hospitable guest farm was absolutely fantastic.

This working guest farm with all its interesting history, charming cottages, lovely old trees and scrumptious meals served personally to each cottage by Sheryl and Blackie, its wonderful hosts, is one of those places that, for us, will always stand out above the rest and be remembered for a very long time. This was our first visit and, from the moment we arrived, we knew we had backed a winner. It was perfect and we will be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Prior Grange, as the welcome was warm and the hospitality top notch!

Cheryl and Blacky are warm and welcoming hosts, who served us a delicious dinner and breakfast in our cottage. The little house was so cosy and well equipped, we could easily have stayed longer. As far as constructive criticism is concerned, there were a few small things that could do with some attention: The door (gaps between planks) and windows do not close airtight, and I imagine that it can't be too pleasant on a freezing winters night in the Free State. Our son discovered a millipede with accompanying poop inside his bed (and promptly slept on top of the duvet). Most important was the erratic hot and cold water mix in the shower. It was very difficult to control the temperature, which swung wildly between boiling and freezing. I hope this helps, as Prior Grange is a lovely place to go overnight!
