Just great. Perfect place to stay in the Midlands. Situated in the beautiful Dargle Valley it is picturesque and well appointed. And you are treated as family. And the food is great. What's not to like?
Comfortable self catering farm type stay in the Dargle Valley / Natal midlands
Beautiful, open, quiet and fun all at the same time. Breakfast was divine!! Haven't played board games in front of a gorgeous fire in years! Loved every minute. Clean, uncluttered farm living at its best. Thanks Kate, you're awesome!
On arrival we were warmly greeted by the owner - a great way to start your stay!
We stayed in Hayloft - basic but comfortable with lots of thoughtful extras - vases of fresh flowers, candles and matches next to the bed, in the lounge and in the bathroom, liquid hand wash, a face-cloth and little bars of soap, cotton buds, a hairdryer in the cupboard, magazines, a small jug of fresh farm milk in the fridge and even a jar with some home-made biscuits on the tea table!
Hayloft is very cosy with good quality linen on the bed, a fire-place in the lounge, a heater in the bedroom and even one in the bathroom - which has not only a bath but a huge double shower! The fire-place is cleaned out daily and re-stacked by one of the friendly staff members and ample wood is supplied free of charge. You definitely will not feel the chill even on the coldest winter night as the fire warms the entire open-plan unit.
The owners also allowed us access to the other units for the purpose of our travel blog and we were very impressed with what we saw.
The Dairy Cottage has a lovely uninterrupted view of the mountain as well as two en-suite bedrooms and a lovely lounge with a massive fireplace.
The Stables looks onto the back of Hayloft and boasts 3 en-suite bedrooms, ideal for a get-together with family or friends.
The most luxurious and private unit of all is The Thatched Cottage - set far apart from the other units with a stunning view of the mountains this 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom unit is definitely the one to book if you really want to spoil yourself!
Traveller hints and tips:
* Although cosy and charming, Hayloft has only a curtain separating the bathroom from the bedroom (which is right next door). Best suited to singles or those who have already taken their relationship to the next level. The other units all have doors on the bathrooms.
* Fortunately for us not all the units were booked when we stayed, if there had been other people in the Dairy Cottage and The Stables, we would not have felt that we had that much privacy in Hayloft.
Cosy and warm in the mountains!
Great place just to kick back and relax. Big plus is that it is pet friendly. Took my dogs for a walk in the forest. Approved by Superschnauzer Perci and his sister's 😀
Spent an evening. Beautiful surroundings, amazing accommodation! Big rooms with comfortable beds. Very well priced.Definitely will go back.
Lovely self catering accommodation on the Natal Midlands.
Calm, peaceful B&B in the heart of the countryside. 5-star service with luxuriously comfortable rooms Ideal for a romantic getaway or short stay. Or stay awhile and write your next novel. So impressed with the wonderful staff: so kind and attentive -- nothing was too much trouble. And what lovely, leisurely breakfasts, served on the patio or in your room! We look forward to returning.
