Well. Accommodation was good, area quiet, rooms small but adequate. The 'coffee station' could do with a bit of an upgrade. No milk, no water, no rusks, no fridge to keep your own water cold. Had to scoop from containers (don't know how hygienic that is). Other than that it was good, nice pool area, well-kept gardens, friendly staff.

Goed. Verblyf was goed, area stil, kamers klein maar voldoende. Die 'koffiestasie' kan wel bietjie opgradeer. Geen melk, geen water, geen beskuit, geen yskas om dan jou eie water koud te hou nie. Moet uit houertjies skep (weet nie hoe higienies dit is nie). Verder was dit goed, mooi swembadarea, tuine mooi versorg, personeel vriendelik.

Have a great rest and sleep well! Friendly welcome. Beautiful and interesting with old world charm that adds to the peaceful atmosphere.

Heerlik ontspan en lekker geslaap! Vriendelike ontvangs. Pragtig en interessant met ou wêreldse sjarme wat bydra tot die rustige atmosfeer.

Good overnight stay in a nice area. Our stay was comfortable, the bed firm, lovely cotton sheets, it was spotless and the staff friendly. Be aware that the room is upstairs, thus not optimal for elderly people needing to carry heavier luggage up the stairs. The room was also quite hot and airless, but a fan was provided. Tea, instant coffee, sugar and coffee creamer were provided. It would have been nice to have fresh milk as well as water. The decor was not to our taste. It is somewhat cluttered with pictures and occasional tables. The window coverings in the room were odd, which made opening the windows impossible. The bathroom is very spacious. There is no door, just a curtain between the bedroom and bathroom. The shower cubicle is small and the water leaked out of the doors, but a bathmat was provided. There was some foliage in a large beer mug, an odd choice for a vase. The swimming pool was lovely, as were the gardens, making an early morning swim a real treat! Overall, this guesthouse provided our needs well; my recommendation would depend on what others would require in a guesthouse.

Dear Justine, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your stay. We’re pleased to hear that you found the room comfortable, spotless, and enjoyed the quality of the bed linen, as well as the gardens and swimming pool. We appreciate you highlighting the friendliness of our staff. We would like to note that we do offer downstairs rooms for guests who prefer to avoid stairs, and bathroom layouts vary — not all rooms have open-plan bathrooms. Décor is indeed a matter of personal taste, and our style reflects the character and charm of an older home. A fan was provided to assist with the warmer weather, and additional items such as fresh milk or bottled water are always available on request. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments, which we value as part of our ongoing effort to improve and to help future guests choose what best suits their needs. Kind regards, Susan

Attended Linden festival and wanted to stay overnight in a guesthouse near school. Arrived late. Very friendly welcome with a nice smile from staff member. Names of guests staying on board. Not sure what to think about that. Sorry about the condition of the mattress, slept uncomfortably. Pillow too hard. There was also no bottled water available for use - I found that very strange.

Linden fees bygewoon en wou oorslaap in gastehuis naby skool. Laterig ingekom. Baie vriendelik ontvang met 'n mooi glimlag van personeellid. Name van gaste wat oorbly op bord aangebring. Nie seker wat om oor dit te dink nie. Jammer oor die toestand van die matras, ongemaklik geslaap. Kussing ook te hard. Daar was ook nie gebottelde water beskikbaar vir gebruik nie - dit het ek vreeslik vreemd gevind.

Dear Gys, Thank you very much for taking the time to give us feedback. We are pleased to hear about the friendly welcome and that the location was convenient for you. Linden is very central and easily accessible. The names on the board form part of our daily welcome list and are intended as a personal touch to make guests feel welcome. Bottled water is available on request; the tap water is also used by us. Regarding the mattress and pillows, we use mattresses and pillows that are specifically purchased for the hospitality industry, but we understand that comfort and preference are very personal. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us to continuously improve. Kind regards, Susan

Beste Gys, Baie dankie dat jy die tyd gemaak het om vir ons terugvoer te gee. Ons is bly om te hoor van die vriendelike ontvangs en dat die ligging gerieflik was vir julle. Linden is baie sentraal en maklik toeganklik. Die name op die bord vorm deel van ons daaglikse verwelkomingslys en is bedoel as ’n persoonlike aanslag om gaste welkom te laat voel. Gebottelde water is op aanvraag beskikbaar; die kraanwater word ook deur ons self gebruik. Wat die matras en kussings betref, gebruik ons matrasse en kussings wat spesifiek vir die gasvryheidsbedryf aangeskaf word, maar ons verstaan dat gemak en voorkeur baie persoonlik is. Ons waardeer jou eerlike terugvoer, aangesien dit ons help om voortdurend te verbeter. Vriendelike groete, Susan

Special, unique comfort. What a lovely time in the most beautiful house and garden! I sat down in different places every day and appreciated everything around me so much. Anna was a wonderful hostess, thank you very much. Can highly recommend. I would love to stay here again.

Spesiale, unieke gemak. Wat 'n lieflike tyd in die mooiste huis en tuin! Ek het elke dag op verskillende plekke gaan sit en alles om my so waardeer. Anna was 'n wonderlike gasvrou, baie dankie. Kan hoogs aanbeveel. Ek sal baie graag weer hier bly.
