Top Tumbleweed

Occasionally you unearth a diamond and despite its name Tumbleweed is the brightest of diamonds!! Fabulous welcome and shown around the room with explanation on dinner ( if required) and breakfast order. Rooms are very well equipped and decorated to a very high standard- amazingly comfortable bed with high quality simba mattress. The tea and coffee tray is accompanied by biscuits chocolate and small fruit juices - lovely touch ! I really enjoyed staying here and without doubt will be returning- the genial hosts Shaan and Sef are great guys interesting and rightly proud of what they have achieved! I took the optional evening meal which was well priced well cooked and well enjoyed! Thanks Guys an amazing stay !

Poor description

We showed up and got to find out what we thought was a cottage - its actually a guest house with two suites .... we did not know there were stairs up to - into the suites, my sife cant get up stairs so we couldn't stay there and lost our prepaid fee. The description does not mention stairs up to the suites.... I wouldn't have booked if I had known...as an air bnber myself - I thought the description is miss leading... as compared to our how it should be described.

Loved my stay here. The hosts put the same attitude to customer care as they did on the huge refurb project that is on photos as you go up the stairs. Very welcoming - met me at the door as I arrived, quick navigation and into the room quickly. Fab place, wonderful view and garden with lovely hosts, amazing breakfast. Highly recommended

I stayed for one night, in preparation for a business meeting the following day. The owners were so welcoming and the room was fabulous! The owners really have gone over and above with the little luxury touches, which made the room so cosy and impressive. I will definitely stay here again.
