• Stephen (9/5): Comfortable accommodation! - Well situated for a weekend watching school sports at DSG and St Andrews
• Lisa (10/5): A magical stay, nestled in a fabulously maintained garden with countless thought to details. - I loved the details. The home made rusks, the cozy dressing gowns, the friendliest staff and the wonderful breakfasts with fresh orange juice.
• Jeanise (10/5): -
• Suzi (10/5): Lovely accommodation, I will stay there again. - Gorgeous cottage and the garden is beautiful. Very comfortable stay, peaceful . Nothing
• Trish (10/5): Comfortable, lovely property and friendly staff - The cottage looked even better than in the pictures. My family and I had a very comfortable stay. The place is very close to town and the 1820 Settlers' Monument. The place came equipped with amenities and extras to make our stay extra comfortable. The owner also made sure everything was set and ready before our arrival, and if we needed anything, she was just a call away. Overall, we had a lovely stay and will definitely book the property again should we travel to Makhanda The stairs to the upper bedroom in the cottage were a little narrow and steep

• Alexander (8/5): Perfect... comfortable and peaceful for our stay and many more to come. - We didn't book breakfast. Location is perfect for us whilst visiting nearby Reibeek East. The information given where to go about in Grahamstown was very helpful. It would've been a little more welcoming to meet the owners... we understand if they were away.

Also made sure I had decaf coffee. The tiled floors are very cold without slippers. Not much they can do about it and I'm guessing it's lovely and cool in summer.

The property is well located, a walking distance from the shops and restaurants and is located in an absolutely quiet street.

• Sarah (10/5): The guesthouse is beautiful; it has everything you need in perfect cleanliness. I had the most wonde - Everything
• Harvey (9/5): A recommended guest house - A comfortable, clean guest house set in a beautiful garden with friendly staff in easy walking distance of the town center.
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Merril (8/5): Very good -
• Emma (10/5): delightful stay - 'I wish I'd stayed an extra night' is a review comment often found, and too often overused. For Fiddlewood Fields Guest House, it is an entirely apt reflection. The cosy accommodation is unique for its attention to finer details. We stayed in a cottage, 3 bedrooms upstairs with a double down. While it was winter in SA (July) the room could be easily warmed as could the beds with electric blankets. The finer details, including cushioned bath mats, comfortable mattresses, thick towels, snacks, added to the fond impression. Communication with all staff was pleasant, welcoming and helpful. The area is convenient for visiting Addo elephant park while Grahamstown itself has an interesting history and can easily be more than a transit stop.
