Ashby Manor Guest House

Unfortunately this accomodation was well below par than what we’re used to or even expected for a 4 star place because: - the room we stayed in (room 13) smelled badly of a chemical or excessive dust or signs of mould covered up under paintings & paint: - there was no access to a window but a door and as we didn’t want to take chances with rats or other creatures we kept it closed all night to be on the safe side. So we had no fresh air; - the toilet & bathroom sink made serious plumbing & gyrating noises EVERYTIME we used it; - the toilet got blocked & because that happened, the water from the shower was not flowing through to the drain; - the shower didn’t seem clean; - the doors kept banging shut at night; - a strange smell was evident in most places. I hope the owner considered knocking down the entire building & replace it with newer structures because from reading the other reviews this place needs a lot of work. Appreciate it’s an old house but the photos are misleading. I stayed in a 4 star guest house in Durban which was better than the photos, yet as far as guest houses go, very disappointed & a night here can dampen a good stay in CT. A great shame. 1 star place, not 4 star.
