Great accomodation, location & on-site restaurant

Very good accommodation and a great location for visiting Mountain Zebra National Park which is only 10 minutes away. Plus they have recently added a super restaurant which must be the best in Cradock. We will definitely be back at Albert House the next time we visit Cradock and Mountain Zebra National Park.

A gem in Cradock

Lovely old house in a peaceful street just off the main route to Cape Town. New owners have great plans for the house, but currently a bit tired. The gardens are a real treat, with lots of places to relax.

Albert House is the most beautiful house in Cradock. Gorgeous gardens and a stately, historic colonial home. It's a stunner! We stayed in a room in the garden which was perfectly adequate. If the new owners fix a few tiny things (shower door handle, new mugs and stocking the kitchenette with dishcloths etc), I would give it a five star rating anytime.

No privacy

Everything was OK but for the privacy. Anyone walking or standing outside our room could see inside the bedroom, even during the day with no light in the bedroom. At night it was even worse. We could not sleep. The door needs to have a curtain or a cover of some kind.

Good location

Good location and easy access . Very comfortable beds but and very bland room with no decor on the walls. The small bathroom was a huge let down with a shower that only gave a sparse sprinkle and no space to move.

2018 Cape road trip

Room was clean and neat but rather mediocre. The shower had hardly hot water flowing, the sounds from the room next door was disturbing and one could follow the next door conversations. Visitor's reception leaves much to be desired. Recommending this B&B to friends, certainly not.

Old world charm

Lovely stay in this historic house. Our room didn't have a shower and no handheld shower head in the bath. Apparently it is 1 of 2 rooms that only has a bath. Very friendly staff, would love to have a kuier with the owner.
