When ever I came to Ficksburg I would choose this place without a doubt, however, the last stay here was very disappointing. Slept at the top floor for the first time and the walls are not soundproofed, you can literally hear clearly the person in the other room talking. The noise at night was loud from other guests.

There are many well placed notices about water restrictions and other crucial information. The sandstone buildings are pretty. The staff are well trained and well mannered. |The restaurant is the best in town and the cocktails from the bar are very well priced and delicious. |The breakfast is simple and lacks variety compared to other 4 star guest houses and hotels. |The parking is also rather cramped for big cars.|The atmosphere during the cherry festival must be incredible.|Otherwise the neat gardens, sitting areas, pool and parrot cage are sublime and add to a good,...
