62 guests' feedbackAfter 19 hours stuck in the snow on the N3 the hospitality was outstanding. Even though the power was out all weekend, they made sure we were comfortable with gas heaters, extra lights and at least a gas geyser. The view of the mountains is breathtaking and the location perfect for those who enjoy silence. Everything was provided, from shower soap to coffee and cleaning products. We already miss them and will definitely visit again.
Notts Cottage is highly recommended. "Attention to detail" and has everything one needs. Will definitely stay there again.
The cottage has everything one could wish for and the most magnificent view. We will definitely visit again.
I would definitely recommend the accommodation to anyone. The place has everything one needs and more.
We had such a great stay at Notts Cottage. Great location, close to the buzz of the town, but far enough to be peaceful with an amazing view. I would highly recommend, and will definitely be back.
Notts Cottage is a very peaceful place with a nice view. Very nice stay.
Notts Cottage is one of the best places I've ever stayed. The apartment is spacious, extremely clean and tidy and beautifully furnished. Ivan and Avril provide for load shedding, very cute. They certainly pay attention to the finer details - special coffee, tea, biscuits, milk as well as a variety of priced drinks are available. The view is incredible and it is definitely one of the best places to enjoy your first cup of ground coffee of the day outside. The garage is another bonus. Thank you very much!
It was fantastic! Such a great place to stay and beautiful views!
What a wonderful experience our stay was! Incredibly neat, beautiful, comfortable, friendly - for sure one of the best equipped accommodations where we have stayed overnight. And the view is a picture! I forgot a spare handbag and the host immediately offered to send it to me by courier. It was a 5 star experience!
Warm hostess and gentleman. Everything is spotless. Well equipped kitchen. Extra treats - sherry with 2 glasses packed on the table.
Notts Cottage is an absolute gem. We would love to award more than 5 stars if it were possible. Everything was painstakingly neat, the unit was superbly finished and cared for. Everything and more (eg coffee, biscuits, hot chocolate and welcome with a glass of sherry) is provided. It was cool and rainy for a day or two and even for that there were soft blankets on the couches, wall heaters and electric blankets provided. A great place that we recommend with great confidence.
Notts Cottage's location is excellent. Very close to the town, yet so that you feel like you are away from everything. Plekkie is well equipped and whatever you can think of, it is there. Very neat and clean. Will definitely stay at Notts Cottages again and recommend.
Ivan was one of the most helpful, considerate and obliging hosts I think I have ever encountered. To cope with a power outage of 36 hours in the way he did, was absolutely remarkable. The accommodation has everything you could ever need, lacked nothing. My only disappointment was I had to go home. Thanks for a great stay.
Fabulous weekend away in this most beautiful cottage. so well equipped and maintained. Amazing five-star accommodation. Every room was beautiful and Ivan was such a helpful host. Views from the house are spectacular. As South Africa struggles with load shedding it was nice to see that the cottage has fitted lights for this, a small gas stove and flasks to keep water hot. Would definitely recommend this cottage to everybody! It's a true sample of excellent hospitality. The cottage is located very close to Nottingham Road Town so the location is ideal. Thank you Ivan and Ariel for letting us enjoy your beautiful cottage for the weekend. It was a real “home away from home”.
The cottage is bigger and even nicer than the pictures show. The master bedroom is massive with top quality bedding and towels. Very neat and well furnished. It is very well located and very peaceful.
Lovely cottage with large rooms and a beautiful view. The cottage was wonderfully warm and "cozy" in the freezing cold weather when we arrived. It is superbly appointed with everything (and more) you will need. The host spoiled us with sherry, biscuits and hot chocolate himself. Will go again for sure!
The house has all the amenities you could ever think of. It is super neat and the view is breathtaking. It is well worth a visit.
The unit is very well equipped with thorough information on the use of all appliances. From the TV to the microwave, everything is new and in working order. There was really nothing missing. The host is a friendly helpful person who immediately made us feel welcome.
Clean, tidy with everything you need. WiFi was offered only for small emails and R100/GIG, it's a bit old-fashioned.
Pleasant accommodation for staying indoors, but not a big outside space for children to play; the only negative was that we paid an additional daily rate for an extra bed, but upon arrival, we were told to make the bed ourselves. Also, cottage is not serviced which was not specifically mentioned during the booking process.
Very friendly with reception, helpful with attractions in the area. Provided wood for braai. Parking in lock-up garage. Quality of home contents and equipment of the best yet encountered. Will definitely go there again. Very good value for the rate. Recommend Notts Cottage to all friends!
You will have to look very far and hard to find another such a lovely, beautiful and spacious place for the price. Ivan received us very kindly, heaters already switched on on a cold day, delicious sherry and the most beautiful view greeted us! Everything was incredibly clean, tidy and organized. We have stayed at several places, but this one definitely takes the prize! Thank you very much for a wonderful 5 days in the Midlands!
We really appreciated the cottage, the complimentary coffee, tea etc. to the underfloor heating. Surrounding area is something that every tired soul will appreciate. Ivan was extremely nice and accommodating.
Beautiful cottage with everything you need and more. Ivan and his wife made sure you've got all you need to enjoy your stay!
Is in an Estate and very secure. Beautiful view. Was ideal location to visit all the Midlands wonders.
Thank you to our hosts, Ivan and Avril. Had an amazing stay in their most beautiful cottage and will definitely be visiting again in the future. A beautiful spot to rejuvenate and relax.
The accommodation was beautifully appointed and extremely spacious with amazing views. We could ask for nothing more.
Everything and more in place: Covid rules are more than punctually observed, unit is extremely tidy, well furnished with plenty of space, fittings are above normal standard, lots of information reading material about the area available as well as lots of additional reading material etc, etc. Definitely value for money will stay there again if circumstances permit.
Lovely, peaceful and beautiful scenery.
If you are planning to spend some days on the Midlands Meander, do not hesitate to base your visit at Notts Cottage. Your hosts have gone the extra mile to provide everything you would expect as home from home. During a very cold snap, the rooms were cosy and warm with many unexpected little items. I especially enjoyed the fresh roastery coffee and cafetiere along with full instructions on how to brew a really good cup of coffee. Thank you, Ivan.
We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Notts Cottage! So sorry that it went by so quickly! Such a stunning location and so well equipped, so much attention to detail. Thank you Ivan and Avril for seeing to all our needs. Our grandson's cot was beautifully made up and ready for him. We will certainly be back!
Luxurious accommodation with all extras. The owners thought of everything. You can relax here.
Our host, Ivan, was very helpful and attentive. The attention to detail in the cottage is excellent, modern and of a high standard. The view from the stoep is truly exceptional. We really enjoyed our stay, just wish we had booked for longer!
Many games, DVDs and books provide you with entertainment.
Outstanding!
Beautiful accommodation and nature! Friendly people, we had a great time!
Accommodation was excellent, everything one needs is there. View was fantastic!
We arrived the day before the time of arrival. Everything was already ready for us. Everything was explained to us nicely and notes were available in the house. The house was clean and everything looked neat. The bedding is usually something that can put me off, but the bedding was of the best quality I have ever experienced. The view is something to look forward to when you go here.
Notts Cottage is the perfect retreat, lovely views of the Drakensberg and the Midlands Meander is easily accessible. The cottage itself has pretty much everything you would need for self catering and is close to some very pleasant restaurants if you want to eat out.
Very satisfied! Nice warm, comfortable and luxurious stay! Everything you need away from home! Would recommend anytime!
We have stayed in several holiday units over the years and Notts Cottage is by far the best and that includes 5 star hotels! It feels like you are spending the night in someone's luxurious private residence. There is absolutely provision for everything. Everything is top notch, from the linen to the big screen TV etc.
It feels like home. Pleasant experience to arrive there! First impressions were: here I want to stay. Everything was in perfect condition, extremely clean and an absolute feast to stay there! Thank you Ivan for your hospitality.
Upon arrival we were welcomed by the friendly owner. All the wall heaters were already on so the place was already nice and warm. Spacious, nicely furnished rooms with more than enough warm blankets for the cool weather. There was even a camping cot that we used for our little one. Beautiful little garden with a nice view. Complimentary sherriment completed the short visit.
Exceptional cottage with a lot of detail in the interior decoration and overall appearance of the place. Good quality cutlery and crockery for a very comfortable and convenient stay. Beautiful view of the mountains. Highly recommended for a five star break.
The host, Ivan Botha, welcomed us warmly. Beautiful place with a very nice view!
See stars.
Recommends. Very nice and neat.
Accommodation perfectly located with wonderful view. The Cottage is really something special with everything one needs and more. Can't wait to go again!
Breathtaking accommodation, comfortable, spacious and clean. All you need as a base camp.
We just spent one night, but it sure was a pleasant experience. Totally exceeded our expectations. Would definitely stay there again.
We stayed over for one evening on our way to KZN from JHB, but the unit was suitable for an extended holiday. I was particularly impressed with the neatness of the establishment. Everything had its place and everything we used was in perfect working order.
Beautifully located and beautiful view of mountains. Well-equipped units with up to date magazines, books, and games.
See the stars.
Notts Cottage is an example to anybody wanting to run guest accomodation.
We had a very nice stay. Very neat and quiet.
A fabulous place to stay. Friendly and efficient service with outstanding attention to detail which made one feel welcome and extremely comfortable. Thanks very much to Ivan and Avril for providing such superior accommodation. Notts Cottage can be highly recommended!
Notts Cottage is an excellent place if you are looking for peace and quiet. The cottage is very luxurious and spacious and ideally located close to all the attractions in Nottinghamroad. We will definitely book there again and can wholeheartedly recommend the cottage.
We were warmly welcomed by our hosts Ivan and April. Our accommodation was found to be clean, beautifully furnished and more than comfortable. The setting was found to be peaceful and we had a wonderful view over the farmlands. Attention was also given to providing us with brochures, magazines and other literature relevant to the area which is always wonderful in helping with sightseeing. The cottage is also in a secured setting and ones safety is assured. We would recommend a visit to Notts Cottage.
Loved it and will go back.
Very nice place. Will stay for longer next time. Hosts are very friendly and I liked the email with directions on the day of our arrival. Also stayed in touch via sms before we arrived.
10 out of 10 - will be back soon.
Will definitely go again, this time for longer!
