Castle Forest Lodge

Really enjoyed my stay here. Great accommodation and food, roaring log fires in the room and some superb birding in the forest with Hudson. The staff are all really cheerful and brilliant. A special shout out goes to Joyce, who holds everything together! James

Hostile service.

Terrible the first night we were given a hut which was very poorly equipped. Avoid Purple Rain which was aptly named as the combined tiny room with toilet and shower wash basin not compartmentalised was leaking water which flowed into the other room a bedroom. The hut was very cold we slept fully clothed … water leak awful no hot water no internet. Internet did not work in the separate restaurant lodge .. chairs in Restarant were wonky canvas and food mediocre. The staff helpful and sorry for them and the manager Anthony in particular did what he could. I had correspondence with the foreign owner , Melia van Laar who defended the indefensible as we cancelled our 3 rd night as could not put up with the conditions. Refused our reasonable request for a refund for 3 night especially given the not fit for habitation first night..The artist known as Prince would be turning in his grave

The surroundings, pure nature, fresh ,peaceful The service really friendly, ready to please our each desire , For 2 we choose a 2 bedrooms bungalow,

Sam very friendly and good cooking Huge house for the 3 of us ,one bedroom for each a bit hot at the beginning don't forget to draw draw the curtains
