This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. Big, comfortable rooms, amazing hospitality and probably the best breakfast in town. It was just spectacular! Loved it! Recommend it!

The stay was comfortable. Staff friendly but spoke with raised voices from the main building so unsettling.

The Ashford is an amazing place to stay for either business or pleasure. The owner Megan is wonderful and so is Zanele her Manager. The breakfast was delicious, the room spotlessly clean and tidy. Great value. Would stay there over and over again.
