Nothing.

The charm of a Country Hotel is perfectly demonstrated at Eight Bells. Beautiful gardens, relaxed but professional service and lovely food. All staff are well trained, professional and friendly. We arrived on a cold windy afternoon and the gentleman at reception accommodated all our requests. We will visit again and plan a longer stay.

This is not about the property but about Booking.com:- we booked and I have the screenshot of, the Mountain View room. Booking.com did NOT send the room selection through to 8 bells. They were able to provide the correct room as they were not full, but my suggestion is that having booked, you contact the property to confirm your room type

Wonderful location, helpful staff, good pool, and lovely rooms. Close to Cango caves and other good days out such as the horses at Outeniquamoon.

Unfortunately right next to a busy road, so very noisy

Beautiful setting

The WiFi was intermittent which was frustrating at times.

The hotel really had an old world charm. Families will enjoy the play room, outdoor play area, horses and daily donkey rides. Really well kitted out for children. We had delicious food, both dinner and breakfast. We had a 2 room suite which was a little tired and simple, but comfortable.

Beautiful property in a stunning setting.

The cabin could have had a double or queen bed rather than two separate single beds. A soft blanket would have been nice. It was cool at times and the bedding was comfortable, but too clinical rather than soft and comforting..

Breakfast was excellent. The view from our cabin was awesome. Staff very friendly and helpful. The walking trails at times challenging but wonderful particularly the red route through the proteas.

The shower nearly overflowed and the biscuits in the room had obviously been there a while as the were crushed to crumbs. The dinner was not up to expectations

The staff were very friendly and helpful and grounds and surroundings beautiful

Coffee at breakfast not so good and wi fi a bit sporadic but such a beautiful spot with great staff and good food

Beautiful setting! Well tended gardens and very clean rooms

WiFi is inconsistent but not a train smash. Things to improve: Paint the outside Fix broken wooden railings or chairs around the resort

Staff are amazing, love the tea & coffee at 11h00 and 16h00 facilities are unique. Milkshakes are out of this world. Garden is stunning.

The room/lodge was comfortable, spacious and clean. It had a lovely view. Check-in was quick and the staff offered us another, more comfortable and quiet room. Dinner was great and the dining room was prepared with care and good taste. Breakfast was also great. Will certainly return!

No fridges in the rooms - this is essential in South Africa in the summer. Everybody wants somewhere to keep cold water, milk, fruit etc. The Alpine cabins have no block-out curtains on the window, only thin net curtains, so it is impossible to rest in the hot afternoons and to sleep past 5am in the summer.

A beautiful location, very good facilities such as tennis courts, swiming pool, bowling green, horses etc; property immaculately kept.

This was different to anywhere else we have stayed before, the accommodation was great, log cabins overlooking looking the mountains. The cabins themselves were excellent, with wonderful balconies. The staff were very friendly.
