What the reviews say
Ilzebet waited up past 11pm to let in a guest arriving straight from the airport and got her settled into her room. The church opposite rings on the hour and half-hour, so light sleepers should know that going in.
- Several reviewers singled out a staff member named Ilzebet by name, describing her as going above and beyond to make guests feel welcome from the moment of arrival.
- One reviewer noted the rooms include both a bathtub and a walk-in shower, with notably strong water pressure.
- A reviewer who arrived from the airport at 11:30pm mentioned that Ilzebet ensured they got into the hotel and their room without difficulty.
- The breakfast was well-presented with good variety, making it a highlight of each morning.
- One light sleeper flagged that the manor is situated across from a church whose bell rings on the hour and half hour throughout the night.
- Rooms are spacious and include both a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower with strong water pressure.
- Late-night arrivals are accommodated, with staff personally ensuring guests are settled even after 11pm.
- The manor is within walking distance of multiple restaurants and bars, including spots serving local game dishes like ostrich and eland.
- The property is positioned directly opposite a church whose bell rings every half hour, which may disturb light sleepers.
- Multiple reviewers independently named the same staff member, Ilzebet, as the defining reason they would return.
