    Pleasant stay at the guest farm with a huge potential

    The Ardmore Guest Farm has the potential to be much better, but it requires a facility manager. For example, the rooms could use a little maintenance. In addition, I would rather prefer a better quality of food rather than have a long list of options.

    We were welcomed by an extremely friendly and helpful staff (Ross), who most certainly went an extra mile for us. The guest farm has a nice authentic feel, where one is also able to pet all the animals.

    Very nice and beautiful farm with cozy accommodations, it has everything you may need. Great host, very good breakfast. They also serve dinner and breakfast with their own butter and bread which are dizzyingly. Easy to find and reach

    The tiny fridge. We were touring so had meat and food for the next leg of our journey which we had to give away.

    Was lovely. Loved the tiny horses and goats. Restaurant was great and Ross went out of his way to make The Rugby World Cup final awsome for us SAfricans and the tourists. Had a great evening

    Hidden gem in spendid surroundings

    • Two-Bedroom Chalet with Mountain View
    • Stayed 1 night

    The lighting is very harsh, bright LED neon-like lights in all fixtures makes it not very cosy when it is dark; more soft tempered light would add to the experience (PS: we have encountered that in many accommodations).

    Huge lodge apartment with great views. Very comfy beds and perfect sanitary gear including jacuzzi. Great, hospitable staff. Drinks available from the honesty fridge.

    The room is spacious and nice with a great bath but with very thin walls, the neighbours were litting their fireplace and we smelled it very much in our room.

    Beautiful place at peacefull location with lots of charm, the guy (forgot his name) who checked us in and was there for us when we needed anything is absolutely lovely!! He goes the extra mile to make your stay great!! !

    The rooms needed some maintenance. Shower doors didn't close, deck had loose planks, and bedroom door couldn't open completely.

    Food was excellent! Great variety to choose from and they accommodated my special diet due to allergies. The farm animals were a huge hit with my boys. They loved feeding the baby goats. The room was extremely clean which was wonderful!

    The facilities were old, we had very poor Wi-Fi signal and one sink was blocked in the toilet.

    My kids really loves it and enjoyed very unforgettable time here, they had free horses riding and been so closed to the animals, they even fed a new born lamb. People are very nice, especially Jason the manager from reception.

    Showers are a tad bit small, games room a bit out dated and run down and board games were few. Signage coming into the property and to each unit not clearly marked.

    Beautiful location, so many cute animals, loved the dogs Butterfly and Coby hanging out with us like we family. Food choices are fantastic!! Free WIFI 😎 The views of the mountains and the staff are all so friendly, Pam's Library lol 😊 I was there before I got there and I'll always be there! Will love to go back again.

    The rooms need an update. The property has a lot of potential, but everything felt a little worn and in need of some TLC, no doubt due to the hard times during Corona.

    The welcome and check in process was exceptional. The food and wine in the restaurant was really good. The surroundings were beautiful. All the staff were warm and friendly. Excellent value for the money.
