Reviews and Ratings
My stay at St Aidan's was truly delightful! The location is perfect, making it easy to stroll to nearby events, and the rooms were cool and breezy, which was a relief during the heat. The breakfasts were outstanding, and the service from Caroline was exceptional, proving to be both accommodating and friendly. However, I did wish the swimming pool was in use during my visit due to loadshedding. Overall, a highly recommended spot for a comfortable and memorable stay.
St Aidans Guest House offers a warm and cozy atmosphere, perfect for a comfortable stay, especially during chilly weather. The staff, including Lebo and Robyn, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. While the breakfasts were delicious and the rooms were lovely, the hotel could enhance its experience by addressing issues related to loadshedding, particularly regarding the swimming pool's availability. Overall, it’s a great value for a comfortable stay, but a few minor issues hold it back.
I had a delightful stay at St Aidan's Manor. The place is quaint and offers a perfect blend of privacy and convenience. The heated beds were a nice touch on a chilly night, making for a comfortable retreat. However, I found the dining options a bit limited, which was a slight downside to an otherwise pleasant experience.
My stay at St Aidan's was delightful, with wonderful hosts who treated me like family. The rooms were clean and inviting, creating a homely atmosphere. I truly appreciated the complimentary dinner and packed breakfast, showcasing the thoughtfulness of Robyn and Angie. It's a quiet and safe environment, making it a peaceful retreat, but being a bit more accessible to local attractions could enhance the experience.
My stay at St Aidan's was simply incredible. The rooms were warm and cozy, featuring high-quality bed linen, underfloor heating, and electric blankets that kept me comfortable during the chilly evenings. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable. The location was also perfect, being close to my event venue. The only downside was a slight communication hiccup in the beginning, but it was swiftly resolved.
