Absolute Serenity in the Champagne Valley

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 07 Jul 2023
Absolute serenity does not even begin to describe this magnificently managed guest farm.
Jason, the chef on site, made us feel as if were the only guests, even though the farm was fully booked.
The menu and food is mouthwatering and the service is top notch.
Jason also gave us great advice on activities to do in the area and on the farm itself.
Overall, one of the best vacations we have ever had.
Thank you Ardmore!
We will be back soon.
Date of stay: July 2023
Room Tip: You will miss out immensely if you do not take the dinner, bed and breakfast option!
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

      My partner and I went for our anniversary and we had the best time, the staff that work at Ardmore are incredibly friendly, the food is delicious, sometimes a little bit to much, but always good, the rooms are spacious and very clean. I would recommend anyone staying here

      We spent 3 wonderful nights at Ardmore Guest House. The view of the Drakensberg mountains is exquisite. Great hospitality, lovely food at the restaurant, great walks and mountain bike trails and just a good wholesome berg stay. We will definitely be back

      Incredibly friendly staff and always very helpful. Food is divine and loved the fact that we could choose our three course meal from a menu with various options. Lots of activities close by, which the Ardmore team arranges for you. Which adds a lot of convenience and ease of mind, so that we could simply enjoy our honeymoon.

      Hi Frans, such a lovely review with beautiful words making all of us here at Armdore smile. Perfect score even though we had to move you around the property and everything on our side wasn't perfect. We really appreciate the time you spent with us and making the effort to give us a review. We hope to see you two on the one-year anniversary.

      This guest farm is simply amazing. Everything was just perfect, the room, the meals, the wonderful places they’re surrounded with. But the thing that really made me love this place was the kindness of the people. Everyone there was perfect. A special mention goes to Jason, who was really very very kind and so helpful with us! The night we arrived we were late and we arrived when the kitchen was already closed. He managed to make us find a complete dinner in our room, and it was so nice! And Drakensberg Region is so wonderful that I really wish I could be back sometimes.
