Cotswold Guest House offers 4-star comfort and elegance in a charming, historic Cape Dutch house, with wonderfully open views of Table Mountain, Signal Hill, and the sea. It boasts bright, spacious rooms and tranquil, inviting public areas set within delightfully landscaped gardens. Located in a quiet suburb, it has an away-from-it-all feel, yet it is only a short drive away from all of Cape Town’s attractions. Cotswold is also within walking distance from the local beach which is ideal for windsurfing and canoeing as well as the lagoon with its plentiful bird life. A links golf course just across the road completes the range of things to do while staying in this attractive guesthouse.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.2 for a two-person trip.
