Excellent country hotel
Very friendly, helpful service throughout. The room smelled a bit musty, but other than that, we were extremely satisfied with cleanliness. Good breakfast.

Nice and neat property. Food was good, great grounds and gardens . Whilst it has History and character it lacks just that little something that would take it to the next level. But great value for money we would definately stay there again.

Wonderful and a real haven
Being at the Montagu Country Hotel is a delight. It is like stepping into a special world. The garden is beautiful, we had a lovely room, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good. Our car was safely parked behind a gate. We have been to this hotel many times and it is great to see it being updated while always retaining its charm.

Wish we had stayed longer!
Don't even think twice - book this hotel immediately! Ask for the African Hut, which is a deluxe double, and you'll find yourself with a thatched-roof lodge all to yourself. The bathroom is gorgeous - huge, and with a soaking tub plus double shower. There is a sitting area, well-stocked coffee/tea service, plus a very comfy bed. If the weather is fine, you can sit outside and enjoy the gardens. The included breakfast is very generous, and dinner was well-priced and delicious. Go ahead - click the Book It button!

Stylish old-school but with modern amenities
Fabulous old yet stylish hotel - lots of attention to detail in decor. Great location, within historic area in Montagu. Service was always top class, both in hotel and restaurant. Food was excellent, and a bit rustic, as would be expected. Gardens looked amazing for a drought-stricken area. Wifi worked better than expected. Surprised to find secure parking area as part of hotel. Room was on first floor and there is no lift, but I had only small luggage items (they did offer a porter). Would certainly recommend and consider staying here again.

Period decor, and showing it's age.
I am not a structural engineer, but I do know that the floor in our room should NOT sag 50-60mm in the middle when walking on it. It gave the impression that we were about to crash through into the room below....very disconcerting.

Enjoyable stay
Two night stay during garden route road trip . Enjoyed my time at the hotel which is conveniently located in the centre of the town so you can easily wander around and browse the local shops . The outdoor areas were well maintained and comfortable to sit in and relax . The restaurant was very busy on the night I used it so took a while for our food to arrive but we'll worth the wait and would like to thank the restaurant waiting team for great service they provided . Would definitely stay again and recommend this hotel to others.

Bad Experience
We booked into the hotel on 4 June 2015 and were allocated a room quite far from the main hotel in an annex. We returned from dinner elsewhere at about 10.15 pm. There was no hot water in the room, the air-conditioner was faulty and the telephone to reception did not work. We complained the next morning and were allocated a room in the main hotel which was slightly better than the first room but was extremely cold with the air-conditioner again being faulty. We would be very reluctant to recommend this hotel or to stay there again. We were surprised that it had such a high star rating and was so expensive.
