We stayed in the self service house. I was very disappointed with the condition. Damp walls in my room, kitchen utensils had to be washed before it could be used, toilet light not working and spider webs in the bathroom. It did not feel as if much attention was given to this unit.

Ons is hartlik ontvang. mooi, skoon groot kamer. Gemoedelike manier waarmee die bestuurder al ons vrae oor die dorpie beantwoord het. Interessante kroeg met honderde aandenkings. Die aandete in ‘n antieke eetkamer was uitstekend, met o.a. die lekkerste ‘lamb shank’ ooit! Ekstra groot bed met goeie linne. Ontbyt was betyds en flink bedien ten spyte van ‘n watervoorsieningsprobleem. Pragtige tuin!

Was treated with 5 star service. Supper was also 5 star quality. However the 2 bedroom cottage called Flippie was not clean. Cobwebs, loose light fittings, room doors don’t close and lock properly, toilet area very small and the entrance to the cottage was extremely narrow, so much so that my vehicle got scratched down the side next to the border fence and so-called shrubbery.

Ons het onlangs een nag oorgebly in die mooi en rustige dorpie Willowmore. Ons het vroeër as die inkloktyd gearriveer en dit nie ‘n probleem vir hulle. As gevolg van ‘n kansellasie het hulle ons ‘n beter kamer aangebied as wat oorspronklik voor geboek was teen geen ekstra koste nie. Die 150 jaar oue geboue is pragtig in stand gehou en die tuine netjies. Die kamers is baie skoon en netjies. Hulle het spesiaal vir ons hulle lamskerrie gekook. Die ete was fantasties en pryse goed. Baie vriendelike gasvrou, kon lekker met haar gesels. Sal definitief hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel vir mense wat die area besoek of net oornagslaap plek soek. Baie dankie vir hulle goeie diens.

Ons was die enigste gaste vir die aand, maar nie teen staande het die gasvrou werklik uit haar pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Komplimente aan die bestuur en dan natuurlik aan die sjef wat vir ons die mees asemrowende ete opgetower het. Die ontbyt net so voortreflik en smaaklik. Wel gedaan. Julle word sterk aanbeveel by al ons vriende en familie. Sterkte en voorspoed met julle droom, julle het verseker die regte “resep” beet. Weereens dankie.

The Willow Guest House kan vir seker aanbeveel word. Die kos is heerlik, die atmosfeer snoesig en gesellig en die akkommodasie baie netjies, ruim en van ‘n hoë standaard. Ons het in een van die kothuise oorkant die straat gebly en het dit baie geniet. Hul diens is uitstekend en hul het uit hul pad gegaan om ons te help nadat ons voertuig probleme op pad ondervind het. Baie dankie Jean-Mari en Benriëtte vir jul moeite, ons waardeer dit!

Ons is hartlik verwelkom deur die gasvrou. Dit was welkom na ‘n motorfietsrit in die warmte. Die historiese kroegie is pragtig en die koue bier en gesels met Elanne baie aangenaam en verwelkomend. Die res van die gebou is baie mooi histories en baie gemaklik toegerus met pragtige ou meubels. Baie stylvol en ‘n aanrader.

Dit is sommer net ‘n lekker plek om te ontspan, voor die kaggel en dan die smaaklike ete. Ek beveel die aandete aan. Moenie eers dink aan vleisbraai nie. Die personeel was vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Dit is ‘n huis weg van jou huis. Sal verseker weer daar gaan oornag.

Pragtige plek om in te bly. Was bietjie teleurgesteld om nie in die hoofhuis/bestemming te bly nie. Die nuwe kamers oorkant die straat is gemiddeld, maar het nie die atmosfeer van die hoofgebou nie. Ontbyt was onverbeterlik, en het dit baie geniet. Dit is wonderlik om die hoofgebou te besoek en al die ou meubels te sien. Wonderlik dat dit so gehou word. Sal definitief weer daar wil bly en sal dit aanbeveel vir enige iemand.

Die Willow Historical Guest House is ‘n 3-ster gastehuis. Gesien dat Willowmore ‘n baie klein dorpie is, moet ek eerlik wees dat dit al ons verwagtinge by verre oortref het. Die kamers is gemaklik en die kos was uit die boonste rakke. El-Anne en haar werknemers was deurgaans baie gasvry en ons sien uit daarna om weer by hulle tuis te gaan.

We stayed one night in Willowmore on our way to Ladismith and Cape Town.The Willowmore Historical Guesthouse made our stay in Willowmore one to remember. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed a wonderful and generous dinner. The owner and her staff were super friendly and helped us in any way they could. We recommend this place to anyone who visits Willowmore and surroundings.

We were blown away by the owners, management and staff. So friendly, helpful and all round awesome. We stayed for 7 nights and found so much to do around the area so is ideal for a holiday destination not only as an overnight stop. We will definitely be back as often as we can, the whole town has a definite “good feel” about it.

Kothuis waar ons ingeboek was, was glad nie goed nie. Hemelbed se reling is gebreek. Die gordyne is aaklig. Die badkamer se deur is gebreek en lyk baie sleg. Die storte het nie eers gordyne of iets aan nie. Net dakwaaiers in van die kamers. Toe ons sê ons gaan nie oorslaap nie, word ons ander kamers met lugversorging aan gebied. Hoekom is ons nie in die eerste plek in die beter kamers ingeboek nie? Ons moes ander blyplek soek na 1000 km agter die rug.

Dis ‘n ou pastorie met ‘n besondere versameling ou plaas- en huisvoorwerpe. Daar is ‘n groot, gesamentlike voorkamer met ‘n kaggel en kroegdienste. Die etes was baie heerlik. Dankie vir die uiters vriendelike diens en gasvrou. Ons vind die oop stort interessant, soos in Europa. Goed toegerus met alle nodighede. Ons was in ‘n afsonderlike huisie van hoofgebou, en kan dit sterk aanbeveel!
