Disappointing.

We had a nice time.

The music from the pub was a disturbance. The bathroom in the room does not offer privacy. The motion sensor lights are too sensitive, go on and off in front of the room window. However, the service was good and the house was tidy.

Glad nie waarde vir geld nie.

Ligging van verblyf goed. Die woning is in baie swak toestand. Kort definitief 'n ernstige opgradering. Badkamers kort opgradering en een het geen privaatheid.

Not value for money at all.

Location of accommodation good. The house is in very poor condition. Definitely needs a serious upgrade. Bathrooms need upgrading and one has no privacy.

Beautiful cottage.

The check-in process was smooth. The cottage is old but has everything we need for a comfortable stay. It is very close to the main road and restaurants. I could do a 5km morning walk from the cottage to the main road and up Tinley Street.

Fine.

Stay was lovely, thanks. We loved the fire/braai area, and kids loved being able to run around in the back garden. But some inconveniences - leaking handbasin in the bathroom, very narrow galley kitchen, noisy at the back of the restaurant and pubs, etc. A bit overpriced.

Well located.

The house needs a proper clean and my husband and I both got bitten by bed bugs. It is also not that suitable for toddlers with lots of open plugs at low heights. Not the host's fault but worth nothing.

Wildflower Cottage 's response

Hi Samantha, thank you for your review. I need more information to deal with this quickly and effectively. I have checked with my staff and they have found no markings for bed bugs on any of the mattresses which are regularly wiped down with disinfectant. I can only say that perhaps your bites were from midges which do come out in the late afternoon, or early evening. Nevertheless, I will deal with all the issues you have raised. My house usually gets 5 stars for cleanliness so I am really sorry you had to experience that. I am living in Europe at the moment so it is not so easy to check these things but will make sure that this is all dealt with. Again my sincere apologies.

Heerlik rustig.

Wildflower Cottage is by die toeriste-roete van Barrydale en ons kon na al die winkeltjies en restaurante stap. Die huisie is direk agter 'n bekende "pub" waar mens kan gaan TV kyk as jy moet, maar dit was doodstil in die nag.

Lekker huisie met vriendelike stoep en tuin.

Daar is elektrisiteitsprobleme - waarskuwings van krag wat sal afslaan as jy die ketel en geiser gelyk aansit!? Dis mos die eienaar se probleem? Die ligte in die huisie is regtig onvoldoende - dis erg donker. Dit wil voorkom asof dit 'n algemene probleem by verblyfhuise is. Vertel hulle tog van LED-ligte asseblief?

Nice house with friendly porch and garden.

There are electricity problems - warnings of power going out if you turn on the boiler and geyser at the same time!? Is it the owner's problem? The lights in the house are really inadequate - it's very dark. It seems like this is a common problem at boarding houses. Tell them about LED lights please?

Wildflower Cottage 's response

Thank you for your review of my house, but I must put you right regarding the electricity. There is no inherent problem with the electricity the house is approved with 35 amps. This I inform each client beforehand in the email I send. I also inform them how to manage the amps so that the amps don't become overloaded. You failed to read my email, this caused a power outage and I had to get an electrician in to reset the machine, not a difficult task but at a great expense to myself. If you had read the email you would have not had this problem. The issue is not the electrics but rather that it was not managed correctly as stated in my email.

We were 3 people on a road trip and needed a one night stay. The cottage catered for everything we needed.

We thoughroughly enjoyed our stay at Wildflower Cottage. Braai facilities were excellent. Everything was clean and functional. Just a pity about the load music from the ajacent restaurant which caried on into the night.

It was a reasonable place to stay but don't expect luxury. It is a rustic home.

We were there in the winter and the house was cold and there was not enough warm bedding, just a thin summer duvet, and thin blankets. There was a dirty washing-up sponge and a pot brush that had seen better days. I did not use them at all. There was nobody wash in the showers and notices that said you use the shower at your own risk. If the showers are not safe, then surely you would have handrails to hang onto? There is no TV nor is there a radio, so heed their advice and take your own music and entertainment. I also noted that the house was up for sale.

Wildflower Cottage 's response

Thank you for your review. I am sorry you did not get the luxury treatment you were expecting. The price reflects that this is not a luxury home but a quirky and rustic place as you have described. As I always say in my detailed email if you have any issues or problems to contact either myself or my key lady. It would not have been a problem to provide you with more warm bedding, there are wall heaters and hot water bottles to make the place more comfortable I can't imagine why you did not avail yourself of them. As for the dirty washing up sponge, that is a minor detail which I am sure we could have resolved very quickly with a replacement if you had indeed contacted us with your complaints. My description on the website does indeed say that there is no TV or wifi. It's a pity that you did not read that clearly first before you decided to book with us.

Very pleasant.

We had a very pleasant stay and enjoyed the outside area where we had a lovely braai. On arrival, the lady who runs the accommodation on behalf of the owner and who lives right next door, complained continuously about all and sundry which was unfortunate, and was still topping up tea and coffee once she handed over the keys. After having been informed that the cleaner was not coming in on Sunday morning to clean upon our check out and that no other visitors were checking in on Sunday, the lady was standing at the gate of the cottage at 10:00 sharp (check-out time) watching us packing the last few items in our car complaining again about her knees, the heat, load shedding.

An excellent choice of self-catering facility and we booked it without having stayed in Barrydale before!

We were part of group of 22 people going to Barrydale to visit their Open Gardens and thought there could a shortage of suitable accommodation so relied on their website for info. We were not disappointed and felt that it was excellent value for money. The only negative aspect was that we took too much with us and so a bit difficult to offload everything as access was limited. Excellent braai pit available.

It was very cosy and nicely decorated with a homely feel, and we loved sitting on the stoep enjoying the view. We lunched at Diesel and Creme one of days which was very convenient, and would have loved to sit around the fire but were out with family most of the time.

Very calm.

For a quiet evening with only each other's company, this is the perfect place.

The accommodation is too simple.

The house is not child friendly. The house needs a television, especially in a place like Barrydale where there are no activities for children.

Goeie waarde vir geld en lekker ruim! Beveel dit aan!

Werklik goeie waarde vir geld en lekker ruim. Dis ook baie goed toegerus! Dit was ook baie mooi skoon en lekker warm. Opsigter het vooraf die verwarmers aangesit sodat die winterkoue verdryf kon word! Lekker!

Good value for money and nice and spacious! Recommend it!

Really good value for money and nice and spacious. It's also very well equipped! It was also very clean and nice and warm. Caretaker had turned on the heaters beforehand so that the winter cold could be dispelled! Nice!

Very cute and peaceful cottage.

Cottage looks smaller on the photos than it actually is. Has beautiful large stoep with an amazing view of the mountains. Has a lovely braai area under a huge oak tree. The garden is absolutely beautiful and very big, loads of space for small children to play. Would have been nicer if the cottage had a television and maybe DVD Player, especially for smaller children to keep them entertained but luckily I took my laptop with to keep my daughter entertained. Overall we had a very pleasant stay at The Wildflower Cottage.

Thanks so much Lurinda, for that amazing review. There is a note in the main narrative of the house about there not being any entertainment for the kids, though I am not sure everyone reads all the detail. But now that you mention it, I may just add that people bring along their laptops or tablets with some movies to entertain their kids. You were the perfect guests and left the place so clean and tidy. We'd love to have you all back again.

Cute, neat cottage.

Had a lovely one night stop over stay in this cottage which was close to everything. Sure once the bathroom is completed it will be great. Main bedroom could have a change in bed maybe a little bigger. All in all had a lovely stay.

Dear Juanita,

Thank you for your positive review, it was great having you stay.

I am happy to say the alterations are all now complete and looking great. The bedroom will be increasing in size later this year as will the kitchen with a new kitchenette added to the main bedroom. We probably won't be replacing the queen-size bed anytime soon, as the cottage is small and cute and does not really lend itself to a large king-size bed.

I hope you will come again soon.

Kind regards,
Mary

Dit was baie gemaklik en rustig.

Die dame wat daar werk is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Alles was netjies en skoon. Dis 'n ou plekkie met lae deure en 'n klomp fitterjasies, maar dis baie gemaklik en baie rustig.

The lady who works there is very friendly and helpful. Everything was neat and clean. It's an old place with low doors and a lot of frills, but it's very comfortable and very peaceful.

Salige rustigheid en ou wêreldse bekoring!

Die lieflike klein huisie aan die kant van Barrydale was 'n heerlike verrassing! 'n Ou wêreldse atmosfeer begroet jou sodra jy die deur oopmaak. Alles is baie netjies en skoon en die plekkie is volledig ingerig met alles wat jy moontlik kan benodig. Die tuin was net so 'n verrassing met sitplekke onder die bome wat jou behoorlik uitnooi om te benut! Ons sal enige tyd weer gebruik maak van Wildflower Cottage.

Blissful tranquility and old world charm!

The lovely little house on the side of Barrydale was a lovely surprise! An old world atmosphere greets you as soon as you open the door. Everything is very neat and clean and the place is fully furnished with everything you could possibly need. The garden was just such a surprise with seats under the trees that really invite you to take advantage! We would use Wildflower Cottage again anytime.

Dear Johan,

Thank you for your lovely review. You were the ideal guests who appreciated the charms of the cottage, not glamorous but very homely and comfortable. We will have lots more improvements by early next year, like a new bathroom, possibly an en-suite as well and also access to Wi-Fi. You are very welcome here.

Kind regards

Dit was baie aangenaam en gerieflik, maar nie geskik vir jong kinders nie.

Ons het die plekkie besoek vir 'n familiegeleentheid en was baie tevrede met die akkommodasie. Daar is niks vir jong mense om te doen nie en dit moet dalk genoem word in die advertensie. Die basiese benodighede in die huis soos koffie, tee en suiker was oud en smaakloos - die koffie het al verslaan. Die breekware was alles baie netjies en skoon. Die feit dat die blyplek sukkel met kragtoevoer en gereeld onderbrekings het, is dalk ook iets wat genoem moet word tydens die bespreking. Die dame wat ons gehelp het (die buurvrou) was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die prys was beslis baie goed en iets wat ek baie beslis as 'n aantrekking gevind het.

It was lovely and comfy, but not suitable for young kids.

We visited the place for a family event and were very satisfied with the accommodation. There's nothing to do for young people and maybe they should mention it in the advertisement. Basics such as coffee, tea, and sugar were stale and tasteless. The crockery was neat and clean. The fact that they have electricity issues should also be mentioned when you book. The lady who helped us (neighbour) was friendly and helpful. Great rates, that's one of the things that caught my eye.

Thank you for your review of Wildflower Cottage Rene, we appreciate all constructive comments as this will enable us to improve and give guests a better experience. I will mention to parents that they should ensure they bring sufficient items for their children's entertainment. I do ensure that guests are aware of the low amps of the house, due to the house being very old we do send them an email beforehand to inform them of such and how to ensure they have enough for the appliances they need I will add this to the description so they can be aware of this.

Kind regards

Pragtig en netjies - 'n regte klein juweeltjie.

Alles was maklik en stresloos - van die bespreking tot die kennismaking met die eienares tot die aankoms en vertrek. Die feit dat mens deur die een kamer moet loop om by die 3de kamer te kom is 'n bietjie ongemaklik. Vir ouers en jong kinders sal dit egter nie pla nie. Daar is ook nie 'n stort nie, wat jammer is.

Beautiful and neat - a real little gem.

Everything was easy and stress-free - from the booking to the introduction to the owner to the arrival and departure. The fact that you have to walk through one room to get to the 3rd room is a bit awkward. However, for parents and young children, it will not bother. There is also no shower, which is a shame.

Dear Elza,

Thank you so much for your positive response, we value all comments greatly and will endeavour to rectify any and all issues that need addressing. The geography of the rooms is a bit awkward at present and not having a shower I can see that it would be a negative factor, though the lack of these are reflected in the price. That being said, plans are afoot to renovate the bathroom complete with a new shower installed at year end. Also, we will be changing the geography of the bathroom leading into the bedroom and open up a new entrance into the house which will alleviate this problem.

We enjoyed having you stay and welcome your return.

Kind regards
Mary
