Fodor's Expert Review Ambleside Country House

Ambleside Country House, Upper Maitland Street, Blanco, Western Cape, 6530, South Africa

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

One of the more reasonably priced options in town, this is a good base from which to play golf. The owner, a keen golfer himself, can book courses, arrange transportation, and generally make sure you play as much golf as you can handle. The casual lounge, large garden with attractive pool area, and honor bar create a home away from home for weary golfers. Although no dinner is served, many guests make use of the breakfast room and have food delivered.

PROS

  • lovely, large swimming pool
  • all rooms have sundecks

CONS

  • no a/c in the hotel
  • no dinner is served, a bit out of town
