Absolutely lovely place to stay. The room is fantastic clean and comfortable with electric blankets and a heater to keep you toasty during winter. Far enough out of town to avoid any hustle but close enough to pop over to grab some food. There is Open view TV so you aren't too bored at night. EXCELLENT value for your money!

Super quirky owners! Wonderful spot. Shower wasn't good, wifi was limited, and the door was jammed. Otherwise, would come back.
"no Title"
Well, off-street parking helps, close to the town, safe location, we had a roof over our heads and a place to sleep, but the "bungalow at the bottom of the garden" was overpriced (even during the Grahamstown festival) and definitely not suited to a family of five. Probably OK for a couple or a small family, but if you can avoid this accommodation unit, do so. Maybe one of the other units at the top of the garden will be better; I personally felt quite claustrophobic at night and cramming our family of five into this small space was not a great idea, but options in town were limited.To the manager: Some suggestions that would have improved our stay and maybe earned you another star ... How about ensuring the bathroom door closes properly, stays closed and provides some privacy, please PLEASE please replace the moldy shower curtain; also make sure that the garden door fits and is draft-proof, and most important, put up some hooks and towel rails in the bathroom. Natural lighting was poor, a window in the bedroom would have helped. Also is it really necessary to lock one of the adult sleepers in to the bed with unusable furniture? I am sure everyone will prefer to live out of their bag and be able to swing their legs out of bed, rather than crawling to the bottom of the double to get out. I had a shoulder injury and access was not easy.Not really much more we can say.
"Superb Stay at Stones Hill, Grahamstown"
We stayed at 28 Stones Hill for one night during the Arts Festival - it was superb! The place is squeaky clean, roomy, every possible facility at hand, fabulous breakfast, peaceful surroundings, security - everything was just right. The hostess extremely friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money compared to other establishments in town. We will look no further for our next stay in Grahamstown.
"We had a very pleasant stay "
Emily cooked us a good breakfast everyday. The room was comfortable and felt very clean and well serviced.
