The Devon Valley Hotel

Room, breakfast, staff was friendly

Pool not very clean. Restaurant (for dinner) could improve.

Beautiful location and surrounding, friendly and helpful staff

The pool was very murky and a thin layer of oil floated on top. I’m not sure they clean it often considering it’s peak summer, and usage is high, it should have been cleaned daily.

It is a beautiful safe property just outside of town overlooking the vineyards

They permit smoking in the common areas like the outdoor dining, gonna ruin the ambience for everyone else.

Barman was great and Breakfast staff happy and friendly. Cosy bar area

Travelling a lot staying in many places and hotels one understands the ratings and the “why’s” to pricing but this felt rather expensive for the offering and the room type. Granted it is season . The room is very small for what you are paying.

Your receptionist Orianda and Edgar are absolutely amazing.And then your waiters in the reataurant (cannot remember their names unfortunately) also super amazing.And Jerry the cat. ?The breakfast is just WOW!!! And another WOW!! And the cappuccino, and and and. I will truly give your establishment an 11/10 if I could. Well done Devon Valley Hotel. ??????

The place, the Service, the room and the Bar were Minimum *****

This was our first stay in South Africa, and within hours of arriving at Devon Valley we knew it would not be our last. This hotel is a hidden gem, set in the beautiful vineyard country close to Stellenbosch. I wish there were more stars to give the staff who made our stay such a joy. Special mentions to Edgar, the manager of the fabulous Flavours restaurant, and Juliano in the bar who could mix the perfect gin martini. I’m sorry I can’t remember her name but the lady on reception was also super helpful organising us a wine tour with a local guide.The hotel is idyllic, with a great terrace where you can enjoy a meal or drinks while enjoying the magnificent views. We also partook in a wine tasting experience with canapés of some local wines, with Juliano giving us lots of info and also being great company.Stellenbosch was an easy 5 minute drive and Franschoek around 40 minutes through fabulous scenery. We went on a Friday which was market day where the quality of goods on offer were great.We spent 3 nights here at the beginning of a 2 week holiday around the Cape and are already planning our return with at least 5 nights at Devon Valley.

It is close enough to Cape Town and Stellenbosch, but isolated enough to really feel like a break away.

Beautiful garden, outside restaurant and rooms.

We were pleasantly surprised to arrive at ‘Devon Valley Hotel’ to find an establishment surrounded by lovely gardens and fine views over the valley and vineyards.Having presented ourselves at reception we were assisted by a very capable and gracious young man named Wayne and offered a glass of refreshing wine.The accommodation was spacious, perfectly clean, stylishly decorated with upmarket furnishings and finishes and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed a lovely supper in the attractively styled restaurant that overlooks the garden before retiring for the night.In the morning - we enjoyed a generous buffet-styled breakfast, with a variety of tasty options. The restaurant staff were helpful and efficient.I can readily recommend a stay at Devon Valley Hotel.

The television set’s picture was grainy and unwatchable.Using the shower caused the tiled floors and toilet to becoming wet. I know it is the trend these days not to have shower doors, but this arrangement is wholy and annoyingly impractical. Failing which - why not provide a squeegee, of the kind I found used all over Israel in bathrooms.Although we declined the offered help with our suitcases, this was a mistake as the walk to our rooms was long and tedious, first through the main hotel, then along the corridor of the annex, over some rather dodgy paving and on to the far side of our block.

Location was good and easy access to local facilities Breakfast was a little disappointing as if you arrived after 900am. Heated item's were dried up and not hot.

Lunchtime was somewhat hectic with delays due to convention meetings.

We stayed with a large group of friends. DVH was a great location for us with enough space, cost bar to meet for drinks, good restaurant, great views

The pool needs to be looked after, not a cozy setup. Hotel wanted to shorten our stay or move us to different rooms during stay. Luckily we booked through booking.com which gave the hotel less possibilities to kick us out/around. At the end they apologized.

Location, landscape gardens, decoration, size of the hotel.

Staff at dinner time looked tired and we did not receive best service. Reception staff did not know much about surrounding facilities.

Friendly welcome, staff were excellent.Beautiful view of the Stellenbosch valley.Close proximity to all restaurants and Stellenbosch City.

The Barman was excellent, and the waiters once we asked them to serve us, then they were very good. The staff and management made it very special for our 40th wedding anniversary after we spent our honeymoon at Devon valley in 1984. This was really appreciated and their friendliness and of course meeting us with Edgar again who is excellent!

There was a very odd coffee table in our bedroom that was just way too big and out of place, but otherwise it was extremely comfortable and pleasant. Very satisfied and thank the Devon Valley staff!

the only positive thing about this property is the staff - the poor receptionist who had to try and help overbookings and unhappy guests. no support from management.

after a cancelled booking, a bed was supposed to be arranged for my daughter in one of our rooms. this was never done and she slept on the couch. management refused to refund the R1500. appalling.

a disaster from the time we arrived. one of our rooms was cancelled (the hotel blamed booking.com and booking.com blamed the hotel).

complete lack of trying to help rectify the situation. manager’s son only concerned about loss of profit.

The rooms with two beds while alone is not recommended Just one person per one room.

Staff on reception and kitchen They are very kind and cooperative.

The setting and graciousness of the buildings

Entrance not well marked from roadStaff could’ve been more helpful with carrying luggage

the room was plush and great we literally needed the room for one nights rest we checked in late and left really early so there is not much more to add.
