23 guests' feedbackHad a lovely stay at Copperleigh Trout Farm. The host was friendly and welcoming, the cabin was clean and had everything we needed for self-catering. Best of all was the incredible view of the lake, the wonderful animals, and we loved the opportunity to try out kayaking.
We had a wonderful rest. Quiet, clean and tidy place. The farm atmosphere was just the right medicine for a getaway. For keen trout anglers this is an ideal place.
Friendly, clean, attention to detail. Loved it.
We had a lovely relaxing time watching all the wildlife - so beautiful and tranquil. Very impressed with the accommodation, clean and neat.
A wonderful and relaxing stay in an awesome part of the Midlands.
We had a lovely time at Copperleigh. Ashley is very accommodating and welcoming. It's a lovely house with all the necessary amenities and a kitchen that is well equipped with all the gadgets and utensils one needs. A wonderful fireplace too that literally heats the whole house. The fishing was good and I even got to feed a lamb that was only a few hours old! A big plus is that Piggly Wiggly is not too far away.
The cabin and the farm were absolutely beautiful! It's the perfect romantic getaway and Ashley and his mom were the friendliest hosts. Highly recommend and will definitely be going back again.
We loved the fishing, the tranquility, and the whole experience. It was private and lovely.
Copperleigh exceeded all expectations, looking forward to our next visit soon!
A breathtaking view, and friendly staff. I would definitely return to this place.
The owners are friendly, accommodating and helpful.
My wife and I had a wonderful weekend, the location is beautiful and our little cabin for two took our breath away. From the modern and well-equipped kitchen to the Wi-Fi and entertainment provided to the cosy comfortable bedroom.
Beautiful scenery, the cabin was excellent, fantastic walks, warm friendly welcome!
A scenic and tranquil location, perfect for recharging and relaxation. The lodge was really well-equipped and the hosts were very friendly and helpful. The fireplace was a winner as the weather was very wet and cool during our stay. Definitely a place to revisit in the future.
See stars.
Fantastic view! Wonderful friendly service. Lodge has everything you can think of, a true home away from home.
We loved our weekend at Copperleigh. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the quiet and the beautiful peaceful environment. We loved watching the fish eagle and birds from the cottage. We will definitely visit again.
Lovely position, friendly hosts, great attention to detail that I have never seen in South Africa to date. We spent six days in the cottage, but we wanted to stay another week because it was so good.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is excellently equipped and everything is clean and neatly laid out. Warm welcome and hospitable service. We would love to come again!
I will definately recommend Copperleigh Trout Cottage to all my friends and family. The hospitality and friendliness of the staff and management was outstanding.
Warm welcome from Ashley. The cottage is very clean, convenient, well-equipped with everything that you need. The fireplace is a winner in winter. Thank you very much David, Ashley and family for your farm, hospitality and the nice welcoming basket.
Such friendly owners. Lovely cottage in tranquil surrounds. Everything is provided for. Comfy bedding.
Beautiful unit with everything you need. Breathtaking environment, will definitely return!
