    the view from our room wasn't nice at all. Rooms are dated and need upgrading room wasn't ready when we arrived Tv is in the wrong place in the room and View from the room disappointing

    Breakfast was phenomenal and the chef and staff very friendly and accommodating . View from the restaurant was lovely Lovely outdoor area with a fantastic view Take away early morning breakfast packs were also well thought out and phenomenal

    For many years we enjoyed sundowners at BP and said we'd like to stay there one day and we did it.

    We ate at the restaurant on Wednesday 24th evening and paid the bill BEFORE leaving for our apartment. We only left at 9:30 that Friday morning and when we got home I received an email from Blue Peter via Booking.com that "I left the hotel without paying my restaurant bill" of R1700 and that I should phone BP to rectify this asap. I was furious because the email wording was very incriminating AND sent via Booking.com instead of by BP themselves! (Humiliated twice). I deleted the email because I thought maybe this was sent to the wrong email address. The next morning BP phoned me and again asked me to arrange for payment. This was the ultimate! I asked 2 questions - how can 2 pensioners eat for R1700 and why only enquire after 3 days since the dinner? The lady said she'd phone me back after "sorting out" this account as if I was guilty anyway. She phoned me back after an hour with an excuse that the waiter that served us that evening, confused our surname with another party at the table behind us and then put the bill on our room number. (To me this a lame excuse anyway). My questions were, how did he know our room number, why not ask us if it had to be put on the account and where did he then allocate our payment to? My suggestion to BP therefore is to phone the guest personally (not through Booking.com and per email), double check before you accuse a guest point blank and change the wording of your initial email instead of immediately making such an incriminating statement.

    The breakfast was excellent as well as the restaurant dinner. Bed was very comfortable as well as the linen. ....... see next remark......

    Other than the cold weather - which is out of anyone's control we had a lovely time, short and sweet. No negatives.

    We arrived early evening and the lady who checked us in was incredibly friendly and efficient. After putting our luggage in the room, we went to the pub and asked the other patrons if they would mind if we changed the channel to watch the FA Cup Semi-finals, everyone was so accommodating and friendly. Breakfast the following morning was superb, very delicious and wonderful staff to assist. Thank you for the experience.

    Got bitten by bed bugs got back to hotel at 11pm nobody to open up I called the number for security and they did not answer stood outside for over 20 minutes before they opened the door. There were flies on the cold meat and cheese table. Will never go back there again and will never refer The Blue Peter to anyone. I was highly disappointed with my stay there.
