Gilmour Hill

The location Tamboerkloof is perfect, and everything which is said about the location is correct. The neighborhood is safe and perfect to go from here to make different kind of trips. The cottage is from the outside very charming, the interieur is old but still charming. And it has a home feeling. Good wifi. I must say that the lady Maureen is very kind/sweet, however we experienced that the passion is gone (?). This place is very well recommend by a lot of people and I'm very happy for them. But we experienced something else, unfortunately, maybe bad luck maybe incidental. We didn't get that great breakfast, NO pancakes, NO fresh bread, No brewed Coffee, NO home made marmalade. We were there at Christmas time and you expect more. The cheese was very old ( and not fresh anymore) after a lot of days on the table. The Muesli was set on the table the evening before, not really hygienic. The croissant was a perfect one. The fruit and the yoghurt were okay but little portion. So the breakfast was quit poor and not that fresh. We didn't understand because the Woolworth is 100 m away where you can buy the best products. The bed in the Room was very good, we slept perfectly. The stayed in a Luxe suite. But missed a closet to put your clothes in. The badroom was so very small, the sink was a toilet sink.

In stead of al the good reviews, we experienced something else. The expectations are high if you have a 9,5 rate. That is not correct, at least for us. We have been in so many places and traveled a lot, so we are experienced. If you have to pay these prices and you book a room Luxe room, you expect luxe and not a very small badroom, with a tiny sink. No closet and a quit poor breakfast. What happend??? The room we had was beside the breakfast and the front door, so very noisy. Service level needs to go up.
