Guests always comment on the beautiful old buildings, because they have so much character. Our rooms are comfortable and our guests enjoy staying here. The tea garden is very beautiful when the iceberg and red roses are in bloom.

I used to be a project manager and Estelle (my wife) was a maths teacher. We have had a dream for almost 20 years, to have a place where people can come to rest an rejuvenate their souls. We believe that by God's Grace this is the place.

Every morning when we wake up, Herold lies in front of us and we see a different side of it. It is so beautiful and peaceful. Almost without fail, every person that have visited us spoke about the beauty and tranquility that they have experienced.
