at the base of a hill, and set back from the main road, giving a good insulation
from local ambient noise. The friendly staff go the extra mile to achieve excellent
levels of service.

There are 40 tastefully-decorated cottages distributed around the main lodge in a
beautiful and luxuriant garden. The large bathrooms are adequately furnished with
good water pressure, but some of the rooms have less hot water than others.

The dining room is very nice and the outdoor dining overlooks the gardens. The fare
is well-executed, offering a four course dinner blending European culinary techniques
with African ingredients and themes, with an acceptable vegetarian option. The abundant
breakfast buffet caters for a variety of tastes, with cereal, fresh fruits and eggs
to order. The bar with its fire-pit area are excellent for relaxing in, and stay
open until you are ready to retire.

Trip Advisor Review Disclaimer:
We estimate that around 30% of the reviews on Trip Advisor are probably fraudulent;
something that Trip Advisor is powerless to prevent. What was begun as a chance
for fellow travellers to review hotels honestly, has since been subverted as a tool
for unscrupulous businesses to promote their own services and to damage their competition’s
reputations, and for disgruntled guests whose unreasonable demands have not been
pandered to, to punish their accommodation providers.
While the UK’s Advertising Standards Agency banned Trip Advisor from claiming that
its reviews were genuine, and while we advise that readers do not assume to be genuine
everything that they read, we nonetheless feel that Trip Advisor is still helpful,
in the absence of there yet being a more credible alternative service.
