"If you’re on-the-go, this place is sufficient but I would not stay for longer than 1 night due to the uncomfortable furn"

4.0

The view was beautiful and it was in a convenient location.

The beds were extremely old and uncomfortable - very creaky and terrible for the back (and with being in my 3rd trimester this was really a challenge). Both my husband and I could not sleep on the double bed in the master as it was in a really old-poor condition. The lounge furniture doesn’t allow one to comfortably relax either, as it’s all wooden with very little cushioning and lounging ability. With comfy sofas the place would be far more pleasant. It just seems like some TLC is needed, some investment into the home and some extra love.

Excellent views

We only met a member of the staff when we had a problem getting in the front door. There is no air conditioning so we had to rely on a number of fans to help cool the place

"Beautiful stay at Appelsbosch guest farm"

8.0

The guesthouse was more than adequate and the view was just beautiful!!

I know we were informed about the water but the challenge was that we did smell like a dam after. Not that we minded but just a heads-up that the towels are obviously dried outside and the towel then smells like a cow pat😁😂

"Full immersion nel verde tra colline e pascoli"

9.0

Location molto bella tra colline, zone boschive, campagna e pascoli. Vicino c’è anche un lago. I cottage sono molto belli e spaziosi. In quello spazioso disposto alla fine c’era uno dei bagni che era vecchio e che avrebbe bisogno di essere rinnovato un po’, mentre l’altro era disposto in una zona di passaggio tra il salone e la grande camera con i letti a castello. In ogni modo e’ molto utile per grandi gruppi che vogliono gestirsi anche le cene in autonomia. Noi abbiamo cenato in casa senza bisogno di uscire. La mattina ho fatto una bellissima passeggiata nei dintorni senza incontrare nessuno.

Uno dei bagni un po’ vecchio e uno di passaggio tra zona notte e giorno.

"Wonderful place"

10.0

Very beautiful location. Nice place.

It's very kind of them to provide bottled water for drinking as they point out that although the water is clean, it is brownish due to the natural filtration it goes through.

"Escape to the country, peaceful but not good value for money"

5.0

The location is good, not too far from the N2, so going into Town for supplies was easy. It is situated in a real farm setting, and there is no noise from the road, loads of paths/walks, farm animals and scenery fantastic. More than enough beds, bedding, cutlery, crockery, drinking water, wood and towels including good quality towels and linen.

The mattresses were uncomfortable, because of the mountain water - the tap water is brown in color and I did not want to use that water to bath/shower. We battled to use the streaming facility for the TV. Not much to do besides walking - most of the fields were closed off, and I was not sure if we were allowed to fish. There are no play facilities for children, pool or seating areas.
