My husband and I had a very pleasant stay at Bartholomew Loft. We will definitely be booking there again. The Staff were very helpful and professional. The self catering apartment, room number 5 was clean and lovely and I simply loved the decor detail as well.

The house is quite beautiful and needs deep cleaning. Our linen was dirty and had marks on them. There was dust not just under the bed but all over the house even on the tables. We complained to the manager that worked that night and he was kind to change our sheets the very same night

Nice and clean. Great room. Very accommodating service. Very good coffee was provided in the room. Grahamstown (Makhanda) is pretty run down so don't expect too much from the area. Great place to stay for a short stay.
