Reviews Summary

Visitors consistently praise the Stanford Village Green area for its charming accommodations, friendly staff, and the vibrant atmosphere of its local markets and events. The attention to detail in hospitality and the peaceful country escape it offers are frequently highlighted. However, some first-time visitors have reported unwelcoming initial impressions regarding access to services like breakfast.

"This gem of Stanford is one of a kind. Crisp linen, attention to detail and the friendliest staff add to the allure of staying in this beautiful and well located home from home. Nothing is too much trouble for Penny and her team and we got to know Stanford through its welcome embrace."

Craig Delport

"Did not stay. Only trying to get breakfast but was curtly informed for guests only. Not at all welcoming.

To be fair I'm commenting on first impressions only. Never saw the rooms or experienced the service.

Only a non welcoming first impression that stuck with me and was disappointing as it was my first stop in the village. Anyway I give the benefit of the doubt to paying guests that have left reviews. A simple suggestion as to an alternative breakfast venue would have been quite acceptable to me. Good luck with front of house going forward."

Walter Berger

"My husband and I spent three wonderful nights at the charming Stanford Hotel, which is extremely well placed to explore the quaint but lively village of Stanford and is also within walking distance of the Klein Rivier. We were lucky enough to be visiting on the weekend and were able to enjoy the lovely Saturday morning market which is held on the hotel's front stoep. There are a variety of restaurants close to the hotel to enjoy a breakfast, lunch or supper, or even the guilty pleasure of delicious ice cream from Don Gelato across the road.

We stayed in a spacious suite with a very comfortable double bed with clean crisp linen, an extremely large bathroom (shower and bath) and a spacious sitting room. French doors opened from the sitting room onto a private garden with table and chairs to relax in with a cup of tea. In addition, there is a spacious and comfortable guest lounge across the hotel courtyard. The beautiful old buildings and the gardens are well maintained and peaceful. The hotel management team were extremely friendly and helpful at all times.

It was a truly peaceful and relaxing country escape."
