Comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent and their Chicken Curry was excellent.
Our experience of the dining and bar staff was excellent.
The room is comfortable and spacious.

Cons:

The hotel is starting to appear a little dated in places, but this is not overly negative.
The vervet monkeys can be a problem if you leave windows and doors open, as they head straight for the rusks and in-room tea/cofee setup.

Very comfortable accomodation with great value for money with superb staff
Pros:

The meals were very well prepared.
I particularly enjoyed the breakfast. The quality of food was very good.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. On the day of checkout the weather changed dramatically and the staff were very accomodating in allowing us a late checkout so that we could re-arrange our travel plans. This was very appreciated.

Cons:

The only thing I would suggest is a shower in the bathroom rather than a bathtub. Everything else was great.

Pros:

The venue was what we expected of a farm viz very peaceful and quiet.Loved the accommodation

Cons:

We had no hot water when we wanted to wash in the morning. Couldn't even use cold water for a cat wash as it was ice cold. One slice of bread and 2 thin pieces of bacon with eggs and fried potatoes.
