If I'm honest, I was more nervous about this hotel than of any of the seven places I booked on our two week tour. They were slow getting back to my email inquries, and were the only hotel to deduct the full charge for two nights before we'd even left the UK. We booked the FCH as our final two... more

After reading mixed reviews on the tripadvisor we where scared of what we where going to get. I love the interior of the house, the staff where all friendly and had good knowledge about the area and restaurants as we heard that franschoek is the Food and Wine capital of South Africa. I must agree that it's very expensive compared... more

The rather mixed reviews for Franschhoek Country House hotel were not a good sign, and unfortunately we are more inclined to agree with the negative rather than the positive reviews having stayed there! We were in a superior room in one of the villas near the bar and dining room. Although our room was of an acceptable standard for a... more

We have stayed at Franschhoek Country House three times now for four or five days each time. It has been a wonderful experience. We have stayed in a Villa Suite which is spacious and comfortable with an excellent bathroom and comfortable bed. The longe is well furnished although we found the TV difficult to understand but the staff were very... more

I was very worried by some of the previous reviews, but we really enjoyed our night at this hotel. We received a complimentary upgrade from standard to luxury as the trip was celebratory, and the room we were moved to was stunning - huge, with a large seating area, wraparound windows looking out onto the grounds, a fireplace (which they... more

We stayed for four nights in spring where the weather varied from lovely sunny and hot to cool and wet. When the weather wasn't so great, the staff lit fires in the lounge areas of the accommodation (we stayed in beautiful large deluxe rooms in the grounds of the house) which just added to the overall magical ambiance of the... more

Cant recomment it highly enough. Everything was just perfect and the staff made it special. Nothing was ever too much to ask. Relaxed and easy going. We will definitely return and can highly recommend it! more

The standard rooms are in the same building as bar and lounge. The down stairs allows smoking and has a poorly ventilated fireplace. The result is smoke filled guest rooms that smell like a truck stop. Also the carpet and furniture are worn out. Bathroom shower is not high enough for anyone over 5' 3". Oh, and don't get me... more

We spent 4 nights in a villa suite in the FCH on our recent stay in the Cape. The accomodation was spacious but the setting was cramped and uninspiring. I didn't feel that the service was of a particularly high standard given the high price tag. A particular disappointment was our meal in the property's own Monneaux Restaurant. Apparently it... more
