73 guests' feedbackEnjoyed the stay. No complaints.
Very good value for money. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The shower had good water pressure. The breakfast was tasty, I did not expect such a special meal for the price I paid. The owner was nice and professional.
Very friendly hostess. Bed was comfortable and warm, and the water in the shower was hot. Breakfast was delicious!
I really enjoyed my stay.
Our first festival, what an adventure! The hosts couldn't have done more for us, they were friendly and helpful, and the stay was very comfortable.
Felt safe and centrally located.
Perfect. Even better than expected.
Had a great time at Acorn Cottage Bed and Breakfast. Very hospitable and has a delicious breakfast every morning.

A most comfortable stay.
Rob was a fantastic host and made me feel very welcome during my short stay. The breakfast was more comprehensive than expected!
Ideal for our need for the night. It is pet friendly. The breakfast was next level. Very nice and helpful. We also arrived later than the required time, and that was no problem.
It was great to stay there.
Two nights with family. Very nice place for Makhanda.
We only stayed overnight and the facilities were sufficient for that.
Very pleasant. Lovely hosts. Homely and welcoming. Awesome breakfast.
Comfortable room even though we stayed 1 night, it was lovely. Nice beds with a beautiful swimming pool for hot Makanda days. The hosts were very friendly. Looking forward to our next stay.
Very nice and peaceful.
Good day. The parking is an issue that they need to address. Too much rubble in the back. They also are only available for breakfast when it suits them.
See stars.
We will definitely be back, best stay away from home.
Acorn Cottage is perfect for a break from the city. It is conveniently located close to all the attractions in Grahamstown. Netta and Rob were very hospitable and the breakfast was fantastic! We felt very at home and would definitely stay there again.
Was pleasantly surprised by a breakfast that we did not expect.
The swimming pool area is not as clean as it appears in the advertisement pictures.
Beautiful clean and tidy place Very safe and friendly service would recommend it to anyone.
I stayed 3 nights at Acorn Cottage BnB, rooms were very nice with a huge pool just outside our room which was perfect for the heat. Breakfast served was great and Robs hospitality topped it off.
Lovely hosts and we would definitely stay there again.
Netta and Rob take great pride and care in their business and work hard to make your stay a happy and comfortable one. Nice big rooms and a superb breakfast.
Nice spacious room with bathroom, centrally located.
Rob and Neta are very experienced in catering and the hotel/accommodation industry. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and well-decorated. They provide a relaxed, family atmosphere, are incredibly helpful, and cook a delicious breakfast. Rob braaied for us and made everything look effortless! Our daughter had some friends for her birthday and what an amazing time these girls had! A memory for life!
Rob was a very pleasant and helpful host. Everything was tidy and the stay was very peaceful. We had a great time relaxing on the porch, around the pool and in the room. Breakfast was delicious. Very pleasant stay.
Lovely pool and, sociable with a very very helpful owner. Great breakfast.
We had a very nice stay in the very spacious room which had all the desired facilities. Our car was also safely parked behind a gate. Love the relaxed atmosphere of Acorn Cottage and friendly service.
Very friendly and hospitable. Very nice breakfast. We slept in a different room than booked which was our own choice. Only negative was that it took us almost 45 minutes to get hold of the owner to gain access.
We arrived quite late & eventually was able to park our car inside the premises. The room itself was clean/tidy however, the pool was filthy/green and the breakfast below par. The whole outlook of the establishment was untidy.
Very frustrated as there was no one at the b&b on arrival to let me in. I had to find alternate facility to prepare for a function. Parking was a problem aswell.
Place was not very neat and clean.
Highly recommend Acorn Cottage B&B for a comfortable and relaxed stay in Grahamstown. Breakfasts are excellent.
Lovely affordable spot very close to both Kingswood and St Andrews. Beautiful, clean rooms and fabulous breakfasts - the hosts are very welcoming and I had everything I needed.
The children especially enjoyed the homely environment.
Warm welcome, very friendly and helpful hosts.
Comfortable, clean, well situated and Rob and Netta Snow are very pleasant hosts. The breakfast was also 5 star. Once again thank you.
The owners are very kind, brilliant service. There was not a day where we came back to an untidy house. The house is as advertised, very beautiful and spacious. Thank you.
The place was very tidy and the host friendly. The breakfast was very nice.
The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, the food was good, the hosts were great. Its the best B&B I've ever stayed at. The host was lovely and helpful. It's secure and feels very safe. The other rooms in the house were clean and comfortable. The pool is welcomingly refreshing in the morning. I'll definitely be staying here again.
We had a wonderful stay. Great friendly service!
Rob and Netta were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast they served was first class.
My home away from home. Friendly host and tasteful, spacious room and bathroom.
Definitely my first choice accommodation in Grahamstown.
Friendly owner providing personal service. Charming cat in residence.
We really enjoyed his chats and experience. The room is beautiful and spacious. Beautiful spacious room, and excellent location.
Very friendly owner and hospitality was wonderful.
It means the hosts were great and I was satisfied.
Great breakfast! Peaceful night's sleep.
Had a lovely stay. Grahamstown was also a lovely town to visit.
The owner of the house was very charming and welcoming. The room was adequate for my needs, and I enjoyed sitting in the enclosed veranda. I was able to park my car in a huge yard and I felt very safe during my stay there. The breakfast was delicious and on the whole it was a great place.
Rob is the ideal host and immediately makes you feel like a member of the household. We talked until late at night and shared a few anecdotes.
My family really enjoyed being there. Everything was up to standard. I will book it again next time.
The service by the owner was good. The room was clean and we enjoyed our stay.
Rob gave us excellent service, the place is peaceful, I will definetly be staying there again with family. He was a great host.
See stars.
Very convenient and had a great stay.
The hosts are pleasant company, a large delicious breakfast was served, comfortable beds with electric blankets were provided and in the lounge there is interesting decor. The place also provides quiet surroundings.
It's a neat self-catering cottage with everything you need. There is WiFi, parking, TV, table, free tea and coffee, towels and soap! Hostess very friendly and happy to help. Nice electric blankets for the winter evenings and hot water for showering. Everything in the town itself is within walking distance, but it takes a good 20 min walk to get to Rhodes, for that a car is useful.
Like living at home! Can't ask for better!
Great stay, friendly owners, wonderful breakfast. Will definitely stay here again.
Received a very friendly welcome. Everything was explained clearly. Room and bathroom facilities were very clean. Place is very safe.
Despite the gentle and kindness of the owner the place would need substantial renewal.
The shower needs a thorough scrub. Please don't place a bathroom mat by the toilet ... unhygienic. The bedroom was clean but the bedcovers, curtains and light shade are very old fashioned. A duvet is preferable. The bedroom is large but does not have a chair. The only place to sit is on a bed. Block out lining necessary on the roman blind at the door and the outside light kept me awake. The property requires major maintenance.
Although clean and neat the cottage is a converted garage lacking style and finesse and over priced for the service rendered.
No TV, no complementary coffee in the room. The room was not welcoming at all. The pillows did not have pillow cases. Awful to say the least. The gate is manually locked. It was raining and I had to get out of my car and unlock the gate padlock. If I had know they didn't have TV I wouldn't have booked it considering I was travelling alone and I don't know anyone in the area. It was not good value for money. I would not recommend this place at all.
