More staff is needed in The Bell Tavern. Staff were excellent but were not able to keep up with the volume. Due to the lack of staff at the Bell Tavern, the food often came out over an hour after we ordered. Neither the TV in the living room or the bedroom worked. Overall though the stay was wonderful and the location is beautiful.

Memorable

We decided to revisit for our anniversary. Because of Covid it was not very crowded but the level of service was as good as we had previously experienced. Friendly welcome, efficient staff and very comfortable cabins which not even Eskom could diminish. Certainly it will not be our last visit.
