The Himeville Arms is a newly renovated country inn. The Inn itself is decorated nicely and kept up to date, including a pub, several dining areas as well as sitting areas. It is really nice. The cottages are not newly renovated and in acceptable condition. The staff deserves recognition for their willingness to assist you and always attending to customer services. They also have a night security service patrolling the grounds. The downside is that the most of cottages do not have televisions and none of them have internet. The televisions are in the pub and the internet is limited to pub and lobby. You can not even access the internet in the breakfast dining room. Also, the internet was available sometimes but not all the time. These two issues (television and internet) issues if this is something you want in your room. Also, there is not refrigerator and freezer in rooms and there is a policy that no outside food or drinks are allowed on premises. This is limiting especially when it is late at night and you want something to eat or drink. If these issues do not bother you, then the inn is really nice. There is a pool as well but we did not use it. Please consider televisions, internet, and refrigerator/freezer for rooms. One should not have to eat or drink at the inn 24/7 not have to sit in the pub to watch television or check for emails, etc. Thumbs up to the staff. Thank you!

We stayed there for just one night to attend a function in Underberg,so was just needing a bed.Therefore did not use the facility.However did notice the grounds of the hotel were well kept and the pool looked clean and safe.Staff were very friendly and helpful.We arrived early and they were able to check us in and rooms were ready.the rooms and hotel are clean and comfortable.Unfortunately no hot water in the morning but that could have been because another room had drained the geyser just before we had a bath.Underberg and Himeville’s accommodation prices are pretty high so I think the price for Himeville arms was very reasonably priced.The property had secure parking and there was a security guard who was incredibly helpful.

I’d like to be kinder: this should be an olde worlde classic- built in 1904, it has good bones. But the management has let things run down and failed to invest in upgrades. No WiFi available, pool is small and green with algae; breakfast expensive and slow. All over, could be a lot better managed. I’d give it a 4.

Business trip - over all acceptable.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was absolutely lovely and the coffee was great. We were a bit disappointed that the TV was broken. TV is a comfort looked forward to at the end of a hard day when working away from home. Bedside lamp shades need to be replaced as they are crumbling. The shower in the bath needs a shower curtain or the floor ends up flooded. Otherwise an adequate stay if you are working in the area.
