The Conville B&B is a beautiful old house. Easy to find and near Aliwal-North town. The best way to evaluate a Guesthouse is to compare overnight cost (for B&B) with the stay and travel experience of other Guesthouses. Conville B&B needs upgrading and finesse.
Great atmosphere and we were made very welcome by the resident dogs. The house itself is magnificent, Sir Herbert Baker was involved in the design. Its got plenty of history behind it, and I can so imagine the good times that it must have experienced. While the rooms and lounge areas are really comfortable and classy, it is obvious that quite a lot of money needs to be spent on upgrading facilities. But with the tourism slump being what it is, I can totally understand the limitations. But its a wonderful stopover, I can well recommend it to those who dont demand the latest in fittings and furnishings.
What a nice interesting place! Felt very welcome and at home
A lovely old home beautifully furnished in early 1900 style. Linda is a great host and has a wealth of local knowledge. The rooms are huge and comfortable. We enjoyed a good nights sleep before enjoying a standard B&B breakfast of cereals, yoghurt, hot English breakfast etc. Our grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed the garden and romping with the five friendly dogs. Will stay again when next in the area.
Very hospitable and a great breakfast. Felt at home and the well mannered dogs a jewel.Room neat and clean. Great breakfast.
Great breakfast ,very friendly lovely dogs there a big dam stocked with massive carp and yellow fish you can have a walk down to the river it’s very enjoyable
Beautiful spacious rooms and lawns for children to play with the friendly dogs. A trip to another era !!!
Lovely old Herbert Baker mansion with original fittings, excellent clean overnight stay and good breakfast.
This is the best B&B we have ever stayed in;. from the moment Linda met us on the front steps we felt welcome. Our accommodation was outstanding - the furniture held so many memories of our own childhood homes, all lovingly looked after. Our bedroom was cosy and we again were swept back to the past with our brass bed, copper-finished fireplace and very high ceilings. We slept like logs and once dressed were treated to an amazing country breakfast. We felt so at home and Linda + Antony can feel very proud of their warm hospitality. We wish we lived closer so that we could call in often! Paul & Noreen Scott
Beautiful place, and excellent service!
We stayed here a few years back and I have been telling everyone I know to come by here should they pass through Aliwal. This is truly a remarkable place, you can feel the history of the house as if you were living it. It is absolutely magical.
Very hospitable owners who welcomed us with open arms and accommodated us exceptionally well. Accommodation. Was clean and appropriate for my wife and 3 kids
Peaceful place. Dont expect to much as this is still old country style. Wooden floors and old old furniture that will make the the people appreciate old furniture. Very old school style of things. Electricity and running water available as well
Step back in Time, to an era of elegance: brass beds with duck down pillows and duvet, a teak armoire, fireplace in the bedroom, Edwardian ceilings and a Claw foot bathtub. Sundowners on the front porch, overlooking the dam & the Orange River beyond. Conville Farm B&B is a place where the pace of life slows down and one is able to exhale. Do not pass by Aliwal North without stopping over for at least one night.
Beautiful B&B lovely big yard where kids can run around and a awesome view
Wonderful! A 111 year old mansion. Amazing! Thank you, Linda.
