On the surface this property is set on lovely grounds but take a look closer and the service could be far better for the price we paid. we got to the spa for 10:30am one morning and the umbrellas were not up, sun beds didn’t have their mattress laid until after 11am. There isn’t poolside service for drinks. I had booked two rooms as I had my parents stay as well, we were visiting for an onsite welding. The second room didn’t have shower-gel topped up on entering and the safe was not unlocked from a previous stay. The turn down service was lovely but they kept turning up the heating to 24degrees along with the under floor heating, which was not necessary as we live in the uk it was not heating weather for us. Service st breakfast was brilliant from the staff and food was lovely, no complaints here. Generally staff around the resort are friendly and helpful but service/attention to detail needs improvement as mentioned. Would I stay here again, not for the price we paid I’m afraid, I would expect far more of a luxury feel and service to be upgraded, being used to those levels in the uk, for price paid.

We stayed at the superior suite which overlooks the mountains great views but dry surroundings. The room is big with beautiful big bathroom and outside shower, but is slightly dated. Staff is super friendly and always willing to assist but Service could be improved further as we received no turn down service on the third day. Breakfast was ok and dinner also ok (lamb shank was amazing ) and could do with improvement. Tennis courts and walking trails are great. The Spa and las ladies who did mine and my wife’s massages were amazing as we had wanted deep tissue massages and they delivered brilliantly.

This property is solid 4 star, not 5. Spa facilities are lovely but the rooms are a bit tired- horrible smell coming out of the bathroom sink. Very average food and poor choice for breakfast for 5 star hotel. Not the best value for money.

Fordoun hotel and spa was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. Ideal for couples celebrating an anniversary or going on honeymoon. The spa was one of the best I have been to. All the staff are amazing and so friendly and accommodating. Loved the peace and quiet.

Lovely stay indeed. Excellent service from everyone. Only slight complaints would be restaurant related. “Honey mustard chicken” was hot with chili. Dinner was divine, but for the price of R85 - dessert was very small (we shared based on the size of lunch and dinner portions) All in all, would return

Our stay was one night on way to our final destination. The accommodation with a superb bathroom including both bath and separate shower was excellent. Our dinner (a la carte) was disappointing as chicken and prawn curry was notable for the paucity of prawns. Duck breast lacked the usual strong flavour and swamped by the vegetables. Breakfast included in the room rate was not up to standard with poached eggs too hard (Medium requested) bacon was very hard and tomato under grilled. The kippers were excellent but Rosti was soft and not crisp as anticipated. We did not experience the spa facilities.

The hotel was located in a good location close to the different shops in the area. You could pick up a nice meal at the hotel and it was very quite and serene. You need a car to get around the area and to the hotel

My wife and I loved the Fordoun. It was the perfect relaxation stop on our tour of the country with safari on either side. The restaurant is great. Milk tart ice cream was the best we'd ever had. Staff could not have been more helpful and the room was luxurious.

This is the fourth or fifth time that I've stayed here and it's never disappointed. The hotel is great. The rooms are great. The staff are great. The restaurant is great (and very well priced). I can't fault it in any way. They even get the small touches right - warm bread before dinner with amazing soft butter, an umbrella in your room in case it rains.... the list goes on. Next time I'm in the area I won't stay anywhere else but here.
