Not all bad but the accumulation of things that didnt work, were broken, went wrong including the food, general service delivery and communication, overshadowed the good. List too long and varied to mention. We did address some issues with management - a few times - but this didnt change their behaviour over our 4 night stay so we eventually gave up. The issues not only impacted our stay, but also caused us significant stress and frustration. Disappointing as was suppose to be a Christmas treat for my 91 year old mother. This was our 12th hotel stay in 3 months in hotels ranging from 3 to 5 star luxury in various parts of the world - not once in any of these previous hotels did we have cause to complain to management. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Seggie 29 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Seggie Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria 8 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Idyllic Hartford House has so much to offer.

The staff are friendly and attentive and the meals delicious. One can have a relaxed outdoor lunch or an elegant multi-course wine pairing meal. Every suite/ room and every stay is wonderful. ##### Victoria Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 22 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### BEST IN THE MIDLANDS Great Accommodation Peaceful and Tranquil Excellent six course meal ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AC4C954743A1AA2A8267340566C75D827740E8F41614001668379.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6A52501B6EE9F20AE50DB2847CDE7AF2D4F3FB881614001680404.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PHILIP 3 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Luxury Midlands!

We had an amazing stay at Hartford House, everything from the service to the food was great. We stayed in the lake suite and it was private and beautiful. The only issues we had was a leak in the roof due to heavy rain the week before and bathtub. Everything else was perfect and it was such a nice, relaxing holiday away from the city. There are many activities to do on the farm itself and in the surrounding areas. ##### Lindie Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine 5 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 4 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hidden treasure within the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands: Picture perfect scenery, rustic and sophisticated accommodation, excellent restaurant worth a detour, friendly staff...a place to unwind and recharge. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Philippe 11 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Établissement de caractère reposant Étape paisible dans les Midlands dans un bel environnement. ##### Philippe Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 15 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 21 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Paul Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ronnie 27 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Noisy room in Hartford House No shower only a bath which was less than ideal.Our room was in the hotel itself and was very noisy.Could hear kitchen noise and continuous sound of staff walking on wooden floors . ##### Ronnie Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### wilhelm 26 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### wilhelm Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony 24 Apr 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Multi-Sensory, World-Class Experience Hartford House with it's lush green hills and immaculately manicured lawns was the perfect place for spending a few days relaxing in front of the fire and going for walks.The accommodation was comfortable with underfloor heating and a fireplace.The food was truly a sensory experience. Frank's affable personality and in depth knowledge of the History of Hartford House ensured that our tour was both thorough and comprehensive. The "Centre of Excellence" was a sight to behold and the pristine condition of the structure is a credit to the dedicated staff and management. ##### Anthony Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-The-Kingdom-Resort.h6792618.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hlabisa-Hotels-Rhino-Ridge-Safari-Lodge.h9401037.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Aha Makalali Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Aha-Makalali-Private-Game-Reserve.h2343567.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information)
