Friendly.

Amanda went out of her way to be helpful. She texted me to let me know I had left a phone charger in my room and gave various options on how she could get the charger to me.

Great, and will return.

It was an unusual B & B in that it was a refuge for distressed animals of all sorts and our nice hostess gave us a fascinating background to her varied life there and overseas. Loved our stay and expect to return sometime this year.

Sal my roete in die vervolg beplan dat ek net verby kan ry.

Lekker gekuier en baie lekker geslaap. is nie die plek om te oornag. Te vervalle dorpie.

Had a good time and slept very well. is not the place to spend the night. Too dilapidated village.

Ek is baie bly julle het 'lekker gekuier and baie lekker geslaap' want dit is waaroor ek beheer het. Die vervalle dorpie is ongelukkig 'n werklikheid waarvan ek ook glad nie hou en sou wou verander, maar dit is buite my beheer.

Very comfortable and hospitable. Lovely big rooms and bathrooms with quality furnishings and very comfortable beds. Beautifully clean and well-kept accommodation with a very accommodating host. Animals will enthrall any visitor - especially children.

A comfortable sleep on a farm in the village!

Beautiful historical house with a comfortable bed, comfortable pillows, and a farm-like atmosphere despite being in the middle of the town.

Comfortable and homely.

Very comfortable. I love old farmhouses, but the host makes or breaks all establishments. The host is friendly, helpful and happy to go the extra mile. She was open and accommodating of my busy dog and willing to let him roam the property. The host is a gem.

It was a stopover en route to our holiday destination in the Eastern Cape.

Smithfield House felt like an oasis, with a beautiful garden and farm-like atmosphere. The house is tastefully decorated and the proprieter is hospitable and personable. We had a relaxing and enjoyable stay and would definitely wish to return.

Great food, beautiful rooms in historical farmhouse, spotlessly clean, good security.

I enjoyed the food. Vegetarian pizza for supper. Homemade bread and basil pesto with a farm style breakfast in the morning. The property is very secure, enclosed with an electric fence - decisive element in our current context.

'n Interessante ondervinding met 'n interessante gasvrou.

Die gastehuis is, soos die meeste ander gastehuise op die dorp, oud, maar goed ingerig. Amanda is 'n interessante en belese gasvrou wat mens graag meer sou wou leer ken as die tyd dit toegelaat het. 'n Goeie oornag- of kuierplek.

An interesting experience with an interesting hostess.

The guest house is, like most other guest houses in the town, old, but well furnished. Amanda is an interesting and well-read hostess who one would like to get to know more if time allowed. A good place to spend the night or visit.

Rustige lafenis vir die siel.

Die eienaar was baie behulpsaam, was selfs bereid om vir ons aandete te maak as ons nie iets in die dorpie kon kry nie.

Rest in peace for the soul.

The owner was very helpful, was even willing to make us dinner if we couldn't find anything in the village.

Plattelandse gasvryheid was wonderlike ervaring.

Ten spyte van die winterkoue was ons verblyf 'n warm en hartlike ervaring. Die kamers was lekker warm en goed toegerus. Verder was ons gasvrou baie akkommoderend en goeie advies en inligitng oor die dorp verskaf. Sal ongetwyfeld weer daar oorbly.

Baie aangenaam, netjies en skoon.

Dis ‘n rustige omgewing om te oornag. Die vars lug laat jou heerlik ontspan om uitgerus te wees vir die lang pad die volgende dag.

Very comfortable, beautifully appointed rooms.

We thought it was self-catering accommodation. Braai area listed as an option. Fortunately our hostess was kind enough to heat our prepared meal which we enjoyed in the bedroom! Perhaps there should be a clearer message that self-catering is not an option.

I was a pleasure to host you at Smithfield House. I am sorry about the misunderstanding regarding the available catering facilities. Thank you for your review which enabled me to edit the guest house's offerings to ensure the misunderstanding will not occur again.
