Gerieflik, maar kort aandag.

Pragtige omgewing en heerlike ontbyt met goeie koffie en vars rou heuning! Vusi was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hy is 'n ster! Skoon wit linne, handdoeke en badkamer. Ons was die enigste gaste (sover ons kon agterkom) en het bespreek vir aandete. Dit sou veel geriefliker gewees het om dit in die eetkamer te geniet as op ons skote in die kamer. Die melktert en koek vir nagereg was oud en 'af'. Die gestoffeerde stoele in die kamer kort 'n goeie was, die hout loopareas buite is oud en stukkend. Die parkeerareas het nie meer skadunette op nie en die visdam is leeg en verwaarloos. Die bestuurder was beleefd, maar nie besonder vriendelik nie. Hierdie plek kan vyfster-akkommodasie word met bietjie restourasie en 'n strenger oog!

Convenient, but short on attention.

Beautiful surroundings and delicious breakfast with good coffee and fresh raw honey! Vusi was friendly and helpful. He is a star! Clean white linen, towels and bathroom. We were the only guests (as far as we could tell) and had reservations for dinner. It would have been much more convenient to enjoy it in the dining room than on our shots in the room. The milk tart and cake for dessert were old and 'off'. The upholstered chairs in the room need a good wash, the wooden walking areas outside are old and broken. The parking areas no longer have shade nets on them and the fishpond is empty and neglected. The driver was polite but not particularly friendly. This place could become five star accommodation with some restoration and a stricter eye!

Sherwood's Country House 's response

Good day,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review - we value our guests opinions ,as it assists in the improvement of our country house .
We had a quietish weekend , but fortunately you were not the only guests staying.
We have two ways in which we serve dinner , either in the dining room or as room service - this is the guests option to what they prefer.
We apologies for the melktert and carrot cake being off - it definately was not old , as it was delivered the previous day - thank you for taking note we will look into what happened.
As for the garden areas we are busy with resorations - car ports have been taken down to wash and repair , the Khoi fish pond has been restored as it had a serious leak and needed to be emptied completely, the Khoi fish were re-located to enable the repair work to be done..
We apologize for the above , but assure you that it has been looked at carefully and restorations are being done.
The honey from our avocado orchards is a fresh treat , glad we could share it with you.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay and would like to welcome you back on your next trip.
Kind Regards
Sherwood's Team

Great stay, very good facilities. Superb service.

Sherwood is rated a 4 star establishment. It delivers on every star. With all the amenities, facilities and hospitality associated with the best. Neat, clean crips linen and a country home feel. Breakfast was included in the package, a good wholesome English breakfast. I was seriously impressed with the COVID-19 protocols surrounding breakfast buffet. Rooms are spacious and the gardens big with spectacular scenery. Access to and from Sherwood is good, roads through the mountains and forests/plantations a good and comfortable drive (minus a few potholes). The only down side was our room (twin room) did not have a door or curtain to the bathroom, so no privacy. Wi-Fi is available from the house - as to cellphone reception, little to none.

Wonderful stay at Sherwood's

Sherwood's is a lovely country guest house with fantastic views. It's not ideal for the very old or wheel-chair bound as it is quite stoney and hilly, but my parents enjoyed themselves very much indeed!
