The Hill Club

Beautiful large room. Very atmospheric and historic. Grand common rooms such as a reading room, billiards, bar, restaurants. To use the formal restaurant you had to wear smart dress ie jacket and tie for a man. Hot water bottles placed in beds at night. Roaring fire in lounge. Excellent service. Very good breakfast and dinner in restaurant.

A small refrigerator needed in the room. It is very expensive and you are paying quite a lot for an experience of the past.

History and tradition are alive and well in this lovely old colonial retreat. The formal dining was fun and the staff were mot attentive and helpful.

I liked my double bed and hot water bottle but the space between the end of the bed and the fireplace was quite small. There were bigger rooms I noted but were probably allocated to couples. Such is life for the single traveller.

Proper old school and quirky: rather a luxury boarding school. Great location and very comfortable rooms. Recommend making friends with Croos who is an excellent barman who now know how to make Springboks.

The room and bathroom are clean and comfortable. Staff are friendly and attentive, food was delicious.
