Wonderful views, silence, lovely touches in our room, friendly staff, home baked cake on the terrace all combine to make me very happy as I write this review. We found this place by accident and it is the best accident this holiday so far. Run by an English couple with a lovely eye for detail, they converted stables into beautiful... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in the Honeysuckle room, which was delightful, prettily decorated and fitted out, with a four poster bed and mosquito net, and a good bathroom with lovely toiletries. We had a little patio to the front of the room, which was lovely to sit on with a glass or two of wine, the main house... More

This was one of the best b&b experiences I've had. We stayed here for a wedding at Tanglewood, and which happened to be a 5 minute slow amble away. We stayed in the lavender room, which had a lovely decor, 4 poster bed with mosquito netting, and a picture perfect view of the mountains and vinyards over a lavender garden.... More

We have just stayed for the 5th time and it is as good as ever. The rooms are very comfortable and have wonderful views. The grounds are lovely and you can spend your days lazing by the pool, or out seeing the sights. Breakfast is served outside when the weather is suitable and so is dinner which you have to... More

This was the 2nd stay at Bovlei and we were not disappointed. It is a great place to relax and chill out. We stayed in the Lavender room again which has amazing views across the valley over the lavender garden area. Breakfast is very tasty and plentiful. Mariska (the manager) is very friendly and excellent at her job - nothing... More

We spent one night in the Lavender Room and absolutely loved our stay. Stunning location, very comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast and excellent service. The complimentary wines on offer for tasting every evening is a nice touch too. It wasn't entirely clear that dinner requires a booking 24 hours in advance but the nearby restaurant that was recommended was very good.... More

This place was beautiful, the service incredible and the whole stay just wonderful. I loved that they thought of the details and treated all the guest as you would a valued guest in your home. The breakfast was amazing and given the quality of food, I wish we'd had the foresight to book dinner which needs to be reserved 24hrs... More

I stayed here 4 years ago and although the rooms have changed (for the better after their upgrade), everything else was thankfully just as I remembered. The rooms that we stayed in, Jasmine, is in the old stable block. There is plenty of room and they are to a very high standard. Comfortable beds, excellent linen quality, powerful shower and... More

Where do I begin? WOW! I believe this is the first time that I can honestly say the Bovlei Valley Retreat in general, and Mariska (the Manager) specifically, were 5 stars above my expectations. There is no detail left undone; and when coupled with the views and the people working there the word “Retreat” in the name is the correct... More
