The place was perfect and even our dog enjoyed it very much in the nice big garden. If I could name something, there was no braai bowl. Other than that it was a beautiful place. Thank you.

Excellent self-catering accommodation in Prince Albert!
We were pleasantly surprised with the place and the special way in which it has been restored - the thick poplar roof beams with the reeds give it a very authentic character. The place is very well equipped and the back porch, outdoor shower and beautiful garden make it a really wonderful experience to stay there. The driver's service is something to experience - you'll look far for better! Thank you very much Elma for your advice, input and kindness - we want to visit again soon!

26B De Beer Straat is a comfortable house with everything you need. The fact that the additional bed actually shares a room with the master bedroom can be better described and that it offers no privacy. Very large plot, but is shared with another property - this may also be mentioned. Mosquitoes ate us up - mosquito nets around the beds don't help at all. Mosquito nets in the cottage would be much appreciated. Furthermore, everything was very nice, tidy and comfortable. Many thanks to Elma for the reception and the cleaning.

The Cottage 's response
Dankie vir u terugvoering, dit help ons om te verbeter. Dit is jammer om te hoor dat jy probleme het met muskiete, hulle kan soms sleg wees in die somer. Gewoonlik hou die waaier in die kamer, gekombineer met ons ontwerper se plakkaatbed, mense veilig. Ons het ons beskrywing opgedateer om 'n meer akkurate idee van die tuin en die gedeelde slaapplek in The Cottage te gee. Ek het jou boodskap van dank aan Elma oorgedra. Simon

Not the excellent service we are used to.
Advertising is misleading. No signboard indicating The Cottage, we had to ask a painter if it was The Cottage. Simon, the owner finally comes out, speaks only English and treated us with distrust and never welcomed us. Definitely not like the other accommodations we've visited before. He promised Elna would come to see us, but we never saw her in 3 days. The Cottage is directly next to recent graves in the cemetery. Physically 5 m from the nearest grave with only a picket fence as separation. Some visitors will not like it if they stay there and a funeral is held so close to their sleeping place. Far from the eateries and shops. Many children and workers use the street and therefore we could not open windows, because there are no burglar bars in front of windows. Burglar protection will not suit an old-fashioned cottage, but it makes the place unsafe. We wanted to open windows to let heat into the cold house, but it was unsafe. Definitely not for the elderly, only a deep bath and an outdoor shower that is open and cold. No extra blankets, no warm bag, heater or electric blanket. We asked Elna for extra blankets, but she said there had never been a need for extra blankets before. She said we could use the single duvet over our double bed, for extra warmth! According to her, it is a cozy house. No fan to drive away hordes of mosquitoes. It's a beautifully restored place, but the location is poor and our reception was just as poor. We therefore cannot recommend The Cottage.

Our two nights at The Cottage were fantastic! The house is very nicely decorated and excellently furnished. It was perfect for us and the three dogs. Unfortunately we didn't have the whole garden to ourselves the first night, because there were guests in the other house, but we and the dogs really enjoyed the garden the second night. Big and beautiful. The beautiful house, garden and town were a pleasure and a highlight of our trip. Elma received us in a friendly and professional manner and was very helpful during our stay. The milk, tea and coffee are much appreciated, as are the recommendations for things to do in town. The Cottage's location is perfect for exploring the pretty town, just a block or two and you are on the main street with galleries, restaurants and the museum. The WiFi didn't work well, but that's a minor thing in this paradise.
