Firstly the location is everything. Never thought there'd be such a calm, peaceful, serene piece of land in the middle of Bryanston. You have to be there to believe it. We were treated to an upgrade of the room we booked and also had a delicious, filling breakfast. They have streaming services for entertainment and electric blankets for the cold winter. Penny was a great host as well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. In the cold morning we found that she'd lit up the fireplace by the breakfast table. Amazing establishment. Sitting on the balcony and listening to trees whispering I'm the wind was so calming. It's a really serene place.

Great location - closed to everything yet very peaceful -, impressive interiors and impeccable hospitality! You get to ask yourself if it is really worth it to leave the Gatsby and visit the city, because spending time enjoying the beautiful guesthouse´s spaces is in itself a great experience. Awesome breakfast as well, with the opportunity to meet other guests at a common table (as I did) or to enjoy it in a private space, according to your preferences. The icing on the cake was spending some time chatting with Gina, super friendly and helpful owner, and enjoying a love overload from the cutest little and well-behaved dog, Bella.
