Comfortable, clean, exquisite decor, quiet, close to nature.

Cottage Pie, Bedsitter, met our needs 100%! The silence and bird life was a bonus!

Peaceful break away.

It was a lovely peaceful stay with Granny, Grandpa and the dogs. The place is situated right at the walking trails, bit of a walk to town, but drive is quick and easy. Nice garden for the dogs although the fence is a bit sceptical; if you have naughty dogs they might try to escape. All in all, we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay again. The 2 single beds could do with an upgrade - 1 is super hard and the other super soft. Thanks again.

Clarens wegbreek.

Ons het op die nippertjie besluit om Clarens te besoek en het Cottage Pie as verblyf gekies. Slegs die Houthut was beskikbaar van die 4 x eenhede. Alhoewel die hut buitekant effens afgeleef voorkom, was alles netjies, skoon en gerieflik binnekant. Cottage Pie is goed geleë baie naby aan die staproetes.

Clarence breaks away.

We decided at the last minute to visit Clarens and chose Cottage Pie as accommodation. Only the Log Cabin was available of the 4 x units. Although the outside of the cabin looks a little tired, everything was neat, clean and comfortable inside. Cottage Pie is well located very close to the walking trails.

Beautiful & Serene breakaway! Beyond our expectations!

The cabin was beyond our expectations and more than we ever hoped for. We were in complete awe with arriving and every day was such a unique experience. . Karen was an amazing host the entire process. As my first ever booking and travel plan, she was extremely helpful and understanding. She provided me with suggestions for walking routes and restaurants whilst loadshedding was ongoing. . Their location is isolated, quiet, at a stream, situated at the edge of the mountain, the geese were amazing gaurd dogs and the housekeeping was friendly and reliable. The cabin was such a cozy and romantic breakaway for us. It was away from the other rooms. . The location does not have electricity during loadshedding nor a gas plate, however, a gas heater was provided and housekeeping brought us boiling water in the morning during loadshedding times. . There is enough storage space and the bed was very comfortable (as someone with back problems, the bed did not put any strain on my back or body). . We WILL definitely stay here again in the future!

Ons het ons verblyf by Cottage Pie verskriklik geniet. Kamer was mooi voorberei, en lekker gemaklik. Daar was een of 2 klein afrondings wat 'n bietjie verbeter kan word, maar dit het glad nie ons kuier benadeel nie. Sal definitief weer Cottage Pie kom besoek.

Die houthut was my laaste oorslaap voor my maande lange roadtrip ten einde gekom het. Die uitsig is teen die berg, lieflik.

Dit het my verwagtinge van 'n houthut in die middel van winter in die Vrystaat oortref. Ek het gasvrou Karen nooit persoonlik ontmoet nie. Sy het slegs via WhatsApp gekommunikeer. Die bed was baie gemaklik. Elektriese kombers was 'n groot pluspunt so ook die gasverwarmer. Die kombuis was só toegerus dat jy kon kos en koffie maak te midde loadshedding wat 'n groot pluspunt is. Ná 'n dag se verken en rondloop was die houthut regtig 'n knus "huis toe gaan" blyplek.

The log cabin was my last sleepover before my months-long road trip came to an end. The view is up the mountain, lovely.

It exceeded my expectations of a log cabin in the middle of winter in the Free State. I never met hostess Karen in person. She only communicated via WhatsApp. The bed was very comfortable. Electric blanket was a big plus as was the gas heater. The kitchen was so equipped that you could make food and coffee in the midst of loadshedding, which is a big plus. After a day of exploring and walking around, the log cabin was really a cozy "coming home" place to stay.

Lekker rustig in die natuur.

Jy kyk uit op die natuur en hoor heeltyd die water van die stroom vloei. Dit is veilig en naby aan die dorp indien jy iets nodig het. Clarens is 'n pragtige dorp met baie interessante winkels en genoeg eetplekke om van te kies.

Ons was Clarens toe vir ons wittebrood en moet net noem dat Cottage Pie ons regtig beïndruk het.

Die huisie was netjies en skoon en op 'n baie lekker plek geleë (nie in die bedrywigheid van die dorp nie). Ons het in die boonste rietdakkamer gebly, en dit was vir ons regtig aangenaam. Die kliëntediens was ook puik - ek het met die eienaar (Karen) oor Whatsapp gekommunikeer en sy het ons mooi ingelig van alles. Sal definitief Cottage Pie aanbeveel!

We went to Clarens for our honeymoon and just have to say that Cottage Pie really impressed us.

The cottage was neat and clean and located in a very nice place (not in the hustle and bustle of the town). We stayed in the upper thatched roof room, and we really enjoyed it. The customer service was also great - I communicated with the owner (Karen) on Whatsapp and she kept us informed about everything. Would definitely recommend Cottage Pie!

Die foto's wys nie hoe mooi alles is nie. Ons het dit so baie geniet en het besluit om jaarliks Cottage Pie toe te gaan. Dit was alles en meer.

Stylvol, maar wees voorbereid vir loadshedding!

Die instansie word ge-adverteer as troeteldiervriendelik, maar maak net vooraf seker dat hulle die boodskappe wel gelees het as jy probeer reël vir troeteldiere. Hulle was verbaas toe ons daar aankom met 'n hond en 'n kat. Maar die verblyf was steeds baie lekker. Die houthuis sit op die voet van 'n berg, en het 'n tuintjie voor, met heerlike sitplek en braaiplek langs 'n stroompie. Die enigste ding wat ons verblyf sou kon beter maak is as daar 'n gasstofie ook was. Dit was baie koud die 2 aande wat ons daar was, en met loadshedding in die aand wil mens regtig net 'n koppie koffie kan drink. Verder was dit lieflik, prentjiemooi en baie skoon en netjies.

Stylish, but be prepared for loadshedding!

The establishment is advertised as pet friendly, but just make sure they have read the messages beforehand if you are trying to arrange for pets. They were surprised when we arrived with a dog and a cat. But the stay was still very nice. The wooden house sits at the foot of a mountain, and has a small garden in front, with lovely seating and a barbecue area next to a stream. The only thing that could make our stay better is if there was a gas stove as well. It was very cold the 2 nights we were there, and with loadshedding in the evening you really just want to be able to drink a cup of coffee. Furthermore, it was lovely, picture-perfect and very clean and tidy.

Very friendly and welcoming stay. The cabin is perfectly situated at the foot of the mountain and stream, yet walking distance from town.

Host is very friendly and helpful. Cleaning services are superb. We fell in love with the stream and mountain surrounding the cabin. Loved the fact that we had access to the Clarens Nature Reserve and got the chance to discover it.

Snoesig en aangenaam.

Die verblyf tydperk by Cottage Pie was wonderlik. Die foto's op die blad wys nie die egte pragtige prent wat die plek in persoon is nie. Die diens was goed en die kamer baie mooi en snoesig. Die enigste terugslag was die ligging teen die berg (alhoewel baie mooi) wat die sein en die temperatuur (in die wintermaande) affekteer.

Cuddly and pleasant.

The stay period at Cottage Pie was wonderful. The photos on the page do not show the real beautiful picture that the place is in person. The service was good and the room very nice and cozy. The only setback was the location against the mountain (although very beautiful) which affects the signal and the temperature (in the winter months).

So jammer om te hoor van jou klagtes.
Die Houthuisie, Rustic Wooden Cabin, word duidelik geadverteer geen Wi-Fi en geen TV. Jy het nooit tydens julle kuier met my gekommunikeer in verband met enige navrae of versoeke nie, so ek kon gevolglik geen verduideliking aanbied nie.
Ons is altyd meer as bereid om ons gaste dadelik by te staan met versoeke. Gesels gerus volgende keer sommer dadelik met my as daar enige iets is waarmee ek kan help.
Tot volgende keer, bly gesond en gelukkig.

It was a pleasant and relaxing breakaway from everyday living.

The location of Cottage Pie cannot be beat by anyone. Sitting at the foot of the mountain with direct access, from your back yard, to pretty much all the hiking trails around town. It is very peaceful and beautiful, guaranteed to leave your soul satisfied. The rustic cabin is exactly what it sounds like, a small(but big enough) cabin with no distractions. If you're looking for a place to escape everyday life with your special someone to spend quality time together then I would recommend this option. If you're looking for something with more luxury, then one of their other room options will be what you're looking for. Karen is a wonderful host who will no doubt be able to cater to your needs.

Cosy plekkie reg teen die staproetes, was waarde vir geld en ons het verskriklik lekker gebly.

Ons het die cabin langs die stroompie en staproetes gevat, dis 'n klein cosy plekkie met net die basics, maar als wat jy sal nodig hê. Uitstekende plek en mense, het die eienaars gemis oor hulle weg was, maar ons het geen issues gehad nie en het lekker gebly.

Sonder twyfel die heerlikste akkommodasie-ervaring wat ek al gehad het met 'n klein gesin. Kan die Cottage Pie-familie-eenheid nie genoeg aanbeveel nie.

Die familie-eenheid by Cottage Pie is 'n ten volle toegeruste huis vol karakter, wat absoluut perfek was vir ons gesin van 5, met pragtige, ruim en 'snoesige' vertrekke. Danksy twee koolstowe is die hele huis heerlik verhit; en met die tuin wat letterlik grens aan die natuurreservaat, kon ons nie vir meer gevra het nie. Karen was so vriendelik en gasvry, dit was werklik 'n onvergeetlike ervaring. Ons sal die Cottage Pie vir seker weer sien!

Without a doubt the most wonderful accommodation experience I have had with a small family. Can't recommend the Cottage Pie family unit enough.

The family unit at Cottage Pie is a fully equipped house full of character, which was absolutely perfect for our family of 5, with beautiful, spacious and 'cozy' rooms. Thanks to two coal stoves, the whole house is wonderfully heated; and with the garden literally bordering the nature reserve, we couldn't have asked for more. Karen was so kind and hospitable, it was truly an unforgettable experience. We will see the Cottage Pie again for sure!

So rustige atmosfeer/

Vandat jy instap is dit net meer indrukwekkend met elke tree. Die familie eenheid is eklekties gemeubileer met soveel interessante stukkies. Die buite tuin is sekerlik 'n wegkruipplek vir feetjies.

Lekker en pragtig teen die berg! 'n Rustige wegbreek.

Die rustige bestemming is uitstekend vir 'n gesin met klein kindertjies. Daar is baie spasie in die mooi tuin vir rondhol en lekker speel. Baie netjies en Karen en haar span is baie vriendelik. Mens ervaar die skoonheid en rustigheid van Clarens hier meer as naby aan die dorp, maar dis bietjie ver vir vinnig stap om iets te gaan eet, ens. Dankie! Ons sal julle waarskynlik weer sien!

Nice and beautiful on the mountain! A peaceful getaway.

The peaceful destination is excellent for a family with small children. There is plenty of space in the beautiful garden for running around and having fun playing. Very tidy and Karen and her team are very friendly. One experiences the beauty and tranquility of Clarens here more than close to the town, but it is a bit far for a quick walk to go eat something, etc. Thank you! We will probably see you again!

Die plek is lekker eenkant en stil as jy nie 'n TV wil hê nie.

Geen fout met verblyf nie, maar as jy afdraai vanaf die hoofpad (teerpad), is die grondpad baie sleg vir jou kar.

The place is nice and quiet if you don't want a TV.

No fault with accommodation, but if you turn off the main road (tarred road), the dirt road is very bad for your car.

The accommodation was clean, however the location was right next to the nature conservancy at the end of a poor condition dirt road, which was compounded by being too far to walk to the village centre.

An indication of proximity to the main attractions within the town and whether it is in fact within easy walking distance would be a useful added feature. Due to load shedding (which is beyond the control of the owner) the property was extremely dark and lonely.

We stayed 1 night on our way to the Berg, and 1 night on our return.

The downstairs section was fine as it had a garden, but the upstairs room is very cramped, with hardly a kitchen and no shower.

Cottage Pie 's response

Hi Sue,
Thank you for staying with us at Cottage Pie.
The Upstairs Under Thatch room is advertised as a room with only heat and eat facilities and a bath and no mention of a shower in the en-suite bathroom, sorry if you miss read that.
We are happy that we could upgrade you, for free, for the one night to a bigger Ground level Bedsitter unit with a shower.
Next time you will know what to book and we look forward to welcoming you back.
Kindest regards,
Karen

Pragtige, rustige plekkie waar ons kan ontspan en nou batterye herlaai.

As jy die absoluut aaklige, byna onbegaanbare, ekskuus vir 'n pad oorleef, kry jy hierdie juweel van 'n plekkie. Alles is skoon en netjies met 'n kraffie port of sjerrie om jou te verwelkom. Die eenheid is daagliks skoongemaak wanneer ons uit gegaan het. Ek kan dit met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

Sielskos en rustigheid teen die berg.

As jy rus en vrede in die mooiste tuin teen die berg soek is Cottage Pie die plek vir jou. Die Family Unit voel soos 'n "home away from home" met antieke mooigoed en 'n heerlike kuier kombuis. WiFi was 'n bonus met tieners. Ons het so lekker gerus, met 'n glasie port in die hand op die swaaibank by die rivier gelees en net sommer lekker batterye herlaai. Dankie vir 'n heerlike kuier.

We had such a good time, reading with a glass port in the hand on the bank of the river and just recharging batteries. Thank you for a wonderful visit.
