Just need a place with en suite."
"We arrived unexpectedly late (had a breakdown) the staff were extremely accommodating and firendly"
"The accommodation was clean and sufficiently furnished. We did not like having to share a bathroom with our downstairs neighbours.
We felt that the place had great potential but the staff needed guidance.
The best meal of our trip was served there. Karoo lamb par excellence. "

"Something different and surpassed our expectations. Friendly staff and overall a pleasant relaxing stay."
"loved the round bed."
"Our one night stay at the Bethesda Tower was met with a friendly welcome. There was no hastle to look for a receptionist or keys eventhough we arrived after hours. The accommodation was simple and clean: just what we needed for a sleep over to shorten the drive."
"I loved the location but I found going outside to the bathroom in the middle of the night a little awkward. Also, not very attentive staff, especially when we tried to check out.. So much potential though."
"Self catering facilities was disappointing"
"The reviews thus far have not done this place justice!!! What an amazing experience and stay. Arty, rustic, charming, welcoming. Restaurant has the best menu from the three restaurants, however still new, has no liquor license yet, will have it soon though. Best stopover on our way back home from Ca..."

"We stayed over for one very cold night and we had a very comfortable sleep.
You have to go outside and walk down the external staircase to get to the bathroom which is not ideal.
There are no facilities to make coffee in the rooms which I really missed.
The staff were very friendly, I had t..."

"Spent one night stop over in the Tower. Staff were helpful and friendly just a pity it rained the whole time we were there. Room was small but comfortable and ideal for what we were looking for."
"Who wouldn't want to stay in a faerie tower!
Rates are super cheap I think mainly because the bathroom is not ensuite and 2 rooms share the same downstairs bathroom. So if you want privacy you have to book out the entire tower. Fantastic place to overnight if you want something unusual, the ..."

Sleeping in this tower gives you the feeling of being a princess in a fairy tale.

Definitely a place to experience...

"It’s a lovely place, nice accommodation and the Hosts are friendly. There was a few hiccups with the plugs that didn’t work in the bottom room, so our head lamp in the bedroom couldn`t be switched on. Apart from that, we loved it and can recommend the place to anyone."
"We spent a night at the priory rooms in early July. My husband and I had the room upstairs and our 2 sons had the downstairs room. The bathroom was on the ground level and was shared by both rooms.

"I stayed in the tower for three nights. The room was basic, but very cute and nicely appointed. To get to the bathroom I had to go down the stairs on the outside of the tower - which, I guess could be pretty chilly in the rainy season. Bring a raincoat. I absolutely loved my stay in Nieu Bathesd..."
