Melton Wold Guest Farm

Beautiful old guesthouse maintained in its old glory. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Nothing negative

Melton Wold is a special place filled with memories

The guest house manager is not a good ambassador for the property. I believe that it would be better if the rates included meals as there are not other options at the property. Dinner costs were high

The "old school" feel of Melton Wold will always be special.

Not much really.

Warm pub, approachable staff.

The high cost of the food considering the poor quality of the food. Perhaps for some the food style would remind them of a simple rural life and this would be a reasonable metric. But, the evening meal in particular (R280 each) was bad. Cold venison pies, heavily salted food, stale crust (microwaved?), unusual meat cuts in the stew, vegetables mixed together. Just couldn't help thinking with constraints as they are (far from the city supply chains) that with attention to some excellent 'Karoo' menu cooking expertise, a simple list of ingredients (including venison and lamb) they could make this dining room sing a bit, and not just cater for hunting parties. Have been to Melton Wold twice- could be great as a catered family holiday. Don't need cordon bleu, just food made with basic love and skill.
