"I'm coming back. I want to do the hikes. You need at least three days at Mount Sheba to explore"

9.0

I liked the welcome. Made us feel warm and special. Everything was organised. We were explained where everything was and we loved the pool room in the bar. We enjoyed that you didn't have to pay a deposit for a pool ball or the sticks. It was readily available. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The red wine per glass was very good quality, normally the house wine is awful.

I didn't like that you couldn't order from a normal menu and that you had to choose from what was on the menu for dinner. The food was great though. I just didn't like the absence of choice. Or maybe I didn't want a full cooked meal and wanted a sandwich. Also, found the rooms very dark, which made them feel a bit dirty to me. I know it is supposed to be a calming factor, but sometimes you want to see where your stuff in the room is before you relax.

"Romantic getaway"

10.0

This is one of the most beautifully placed country hotels I have ever been to and the rooms are amazing . The staff couldn’t help more. A truly remarkable experience.

Be warned the access road is awful in places and barely fair the rest of the way

"Relaxing and recharging stay!"

9.0

We booked the penthouse. The house was very spacious, had a heater and heated blankets in the bedrooms.

The property was great. The only issue is the gravel road leading to the previous but we were made aware of it, so we were not surprised by it’s condition.

The views were amazing. Its a quiet place where you can go to relax. Compliments to the chef, the menus were different everyday and the food was very delicious. We also hiked, the trail is well maintained.

The pool should heated.
