Ascot Bush Lodge

Rooms are discreetly nestled in the lush bush to provide guests with the privacy that only a superior venue can offer. The majority of the accommodations takes the form of traditional, thatched rondavels which cater for families as well as the executive business clientele who require accommodation set in a relaxed and tranquil environment.

Ascot Bush Lodge accommodation

Reviewed By Pioneer36618671834

We booked in, the owners are rude and definitely does not make the guest first priority. The only good thing about Ascot Bush Lodge was the restaurant and the managers / owners, who were chased away by the owners while we were staying there. There is no cutlery in the rooms, and this left us in a predicament with food. No assistance was offered. Some of our friends had feces in their rooms upon arrival. I will never ever go back, and will definitely not reccommend this place to anyone.

dreadful - noisy and smelly

Reviewed By GlobalBedouin007

this must be the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. it is right next (right on top of!!) one of the busiest roads in South Africa with thousands of heavy duty trucks driving past. it’s 3am and i have not slept not wink. there’s also a school bell that rings every 5 minutes outside the hotel. the bed sheets smell of sweat and cigarettes. the rooms are minuscule. no international news channels. it’s dreadful! beyond words avoid at all cost!!

Never Ever again!

Reviewed By 536simi

We spent two nights at Duvet and Crumpets. We were very disappointed. We were told that we would had to pay R70 per day if we wanted to use the airconditoner. We've stayed at several other well established places and were never expected to pay anything additional to use the airconditoner. The place was under equipped and not very clean. It  had a small hot plate and the   utensils were dirty. The cupboards had a terrible stench as a result all their crockery had the same smell. Management was also very unwelcoming. The checkout time is 10h00 at 9:55 we were informed by management that we had 5 minutes to check out. They never bothered to even ask us if we enjoyed our stay and if everything was okay. They need to seriously look at their customer service. We stayed at the Duvet and Crumpets previously but never had such an awful experience. Unfortunately this was our last stay. We will not be staying there ever again. They are forgetting that being in the hospitality industry it's all about making your guests feel comfortable and welcoming so that they come back and also recommend it friends and family. I was expecting to have an awesome weekend with my fiance but they ruined the weekend. We spent two nights at Duvet and Crumpets. We were very disappointed.

We needed an urgent stay due to business and Heritage Guest House was readily available. The service was great and stay was pleasant. We just needed a place to rest and freshen up and this was great in that regard. Thank you!
