Was a lovely evening outside the city noise. Had a lovely stay for the evening, was very well appointed.

Was 'n heerlike aand buite die stad se geraas. Het heerlik gebly vir die aand, was baie goed ingerig.

Tranquility. We had such a great stay, the place is lovely with the friendliest people to help. It's peaceful and quiet, you wouldn't even know the town is so close. We will definitely go again. The heater and warm blanket were definitely a winner in the cold.

Rustigheid. Ons het so lekker gebly, die plekkie is lieflik met die vriendelikste mense om te help. Dit is rustig en stil, mens weet nie eers die dorp is so naby nie. Ons sal beslis weer gaan. Die verwarmer en warm kombers was beslis 'n wenner in die koue.

Peaceful atmosphere - wonderfully relaxing. Had a great time, thank you! All I missed was an easy chair.

Rustige atmosfeer - heerlik ontspan. Baie lekker gekuier, dankie! Al wat ek gemis het, was 'n gemakstoel.

Not nice. No 'panoramic view' or any view. Little privacy. Hot tub is public.

Thank you very much for your review. We are sorry to see that your experience was not as great as hundreds of others. We are a bit puzzled by your comments; the Corlie Cottage has a porch with a fantastic view of the entire garden, mountain, and olive trees on the farm; within a two-minute walk down the road, you are on the farm with spectacular views, and one kilometre from the town centre. The cottage also has large windows that provide a stunning view of the sunset in the afternoon; you can see the mountains, trees and all the lights in Barrydale. The hot tub is open to all the guests who want to use it, as it can seat six people, and we often have groups that book all our cottages and use the hot tub. We do not advertise that each cottage has its own private hot tub anywhere, as that would not be practical in terms of water and wood use. No one used the hot tub on the Saturday night you stayed, we checked, so you were most welcome to use it. Plenty of firewood was also supplied free of charge. The booking also included a fantastic breakfast served on your porch on Sunday morning, which was included in the price; comparable to others in Barrydale, we genuinely believe we offer excellent value for money. We also noticed you gave very low scores for almost all the categories; as explained above, we provide exceptional value for money as you also received a 10% discount on your booking, which included breakfast. There were always staff on site, and all the information, including pictures, was sent to you via WhatsApp on your mobile when you made the last-minute booking, so there was excellent customer service. Thank you very much for acknowledging that our cottages are pristinely clean. As mentioned above, we have the best location in Barrydale, right next to town, yet on a spectacularly beautiful farm, so the low location score is incorrect. We have many cameras and have always had people on-site with no security issues for over fifteen years, so we offer excellent security. The cottage is on the side of the property in the old barn building, which affords wonderful privacy. No one is walking past the cottage or having any view of you. We will be sure to make your comments very clear to our future guests and update the information we send to new bookings. Thank you very much.

Perfect getaway with excellent service. Quiet place with excellent service. Beautiful view and ideal for switching off from city life. The coffee shop has the most delicious breakfast and the most beautiful view. All the staff were very friendly and can highly recommend them.

Perfekte wegbreek met uitstekende diens. Rustige plekkie met uitstekende diens. Pragtige uitsig en ideaal vir afskakel van die stadslewe. Die koffiewinkel het die lekkerste ontbyt en mooiste uitsig. Al die personeel was baie vriendelik en kan hulle hoogs aanbeveel.
