A great 2 night stay on the coast within an hour and a half drive of our home in Montagu
Pros:

Our room, overlooking the pool was large and very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was very extensive and certainly filled us with enough energy to undertake a walk to the beacon and back.
We also enjoyed two delicious evening meals in the Bistro. I particularly enjoyed the mussel and prawn hotpot.

Cons:

Something beyond your control. If only that horrible easterly wind had stopped blowing.

Rejuvenation at Arniston
Pros:

There were a few stand out features. (1) the consumables in the room (tea, coffee, water, and sherry) were replenished every day (2) the spotless table napkins and table cloths at every meal (3) the friendliness of the dining room staff.

An excellent stay once again
Pros:

An excellent stay, good service and cleanliness, bustling but relaxed and peaceful, great location, very spacious and comfortable room, terrific breakfast. My only gripe is the amount of water lost waiting for hot water at the shower.
