33 guests' feedbackWe had such a nice stay. It was lovely to stretch our legs, and could have a nice walk around the farm. Felt so safe, and had a lovely dinner.
Wonderful place to spend the night. Sheryl is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Enjoy the most delicious meal.
Everything was great! Dispel bitter cold with gas heater in lounge area, panel heater in sleeping area, electric blanket on bed, radiant heater in bathroom, and finally two hot water bags! Great meals served in the cottage on a hot tray in the room. Peaceful farm atmosphere.
We had a very nice stay. The cottage was well appointed and clean. We were welcomed by the owner and really enjoyed the silence. The fireplace was a bonus against the cold.
Absolutely brilliant. Wish I could have stayed a few days longer.
We always enjoy our stay at Prior Grange. Sheryl and Blackie always welcome you like old friends. The room is always clean and comfortably furnished. Blackie's bar hour is always convivial and informative, and the dinner legendarily delicious. An institution for regular guests, a MUST for new guests.
Excellent - different, enjoyable, delicious food.
Thank you very much for the wonderful stay. The farm was beautiful and I really enjoyed the museum. The accommodation was above expectations with electric blankets and comfortable beds. Not to mention the delicious dinner. I would recommend Prior Grange to everyone.
We enjoyed the accommodation immensely. We had 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a lounge and a bathroom. We loved having pre-dinner drinks in the pub and then having our meals delivered to our cottage. The lamb chops were the best I've ever tasted. The hosts went out of their way to make our stay memorable.
Very beautiful and delicious!
Very comfortable, convenient, quiet. Perfect for our needs. Lovely host.
The cottage is beautiful and well-equipped. The area and the history are very interesting.
Very nice. Outstanding.
Just loved our stay. The hosts are such wonderful hosts, and the roast lamb dinner was divine.
Absolutely lovely and generous in all respects.
See stars.
I have stayed overnight at quite a few guest farms in the greater area and I have to say that Prior Grange stands head and shoulders above the rest. The rooms are very neat and well equipped. The farm is very beautiful. There is a lot of history on the farm (old buildings, museum, pub and houses). I enjoyed watching rugby in the Loft Bar. Will definitely stay there again.
This is not the first time of staying at Prior Grange Guest Farm when driving from Johannesburg to Cape Town, and it won't be the last. The chalets are very comfortable, and meals (if booked) are delivered to the chalet. The owners are very friendly and go out of their way to ensure great service. There is a fridge in every chalet that can be used for your own food, and it's stocked with drinks for purchase if needed. It's a short gravel road drive (approximately 3 km) from the main road, which is far enough but not too far. A great stopover.
The service was friendly, warm and professional. The room was immaculately clean and met all our needs. We requested extra dinner and breakfast, which was served in our room, it was incredibly tasty and more than enough. We would stay there again anytime and recommend it with peace of mind.
We have immediately booked two further nights for later this year.
Prior Grange is a fantastic place to stay, friendly, comfortable and convenient. We stayed in Willow Cottage on the edge of the cricket oval. If you enquire beforehand, meals will be delivered to your cottage.
AS awlays we had a wonderful stay. It was great to have a peaceful walk along the farm roads before retiring for a sundowner at our host's pub followed by a delicious dinner of roast karoo lamb.
Great value for money. Lots to keep kids entertained after a long drive. Worth staying longer than 1 day. Such friendly hosts. A hidden gem.
We stayed in Oval Cottage which was well-appointed and had lovely warm bed linen and electric blankets to combat the freezing winter night. A peaceful, enjoyable overnight stay and the honesty bar were much appreciated, so lovely to have a glass of red wine in front of the fire after a long day's journey. Thank you!
Open plan is superbly laid out. Lovely sitting area with fireplace for cold evenings. Bedrooms are well equipped with very comfortable beds. Lovely hot shower. Breakfast was delicious and the host very friendly.
Private cottage, wonderful hospitality.
Peaceful farm setting with stand-alone units, ample space for walking, interesting little rooftop bar, small Anglo-Boer War museum and small trinket shop.
The hosts Cheryl and Blackie have the art of accommodation and organisation refined to the last detail. The farm setting is beautiful; access to the N1 quick and easy; if ever travelling that way again, a stay there for me is a must.
This working guest farm with all its interesting history, charming cottages, lovely old trees and scrumptious meals served personally to each cottage by Sheryl and Blackie, its wonderful hosts, is one of those places that, for us, will always stand out above the rest and be remembered for a very long time. This was our first visit and, from the moment we arrived, we knew we had backed a winner. It was perfect and we will be back.
Very welcoming hosts, cosy pub and then a delicious supper (you pay extra for this) served to your cottage. Will certainly be back.
The accommodation is great for an overnight stay, with everything provided for self catering.
Cheryl and Blacky are warm and welcoming hosts, who served us a delicious dinner and breakfast in our cottage. The little house was so cosy and well equipped, we could easily have stayed longer. As far as constructive criticism is concerned, there were a few small things that could do with some attention: The door (gaps between planks) and windows do not close airtight, and I imagine that it can't be too pleasant on a freezing winters night in the Free State. Our son discovered a millipede with accompanying poop inside his bed (and promptly slept on top of the duvet). Most important was the erratic hot and cold water mix in the shower. It was very difficult to control the temperature, which swung wildly between boiling and freezing. I hope this helps, as Prior Grange is a lovely place to go overnight!
Wonderful experience on the farm. Fantastic history experience - Boer War and home of Springfontein Cricket Club. Warm welcome. Will definitely stay there again.
