Place was clean and host was nice . Feels very homely. Shower heads are small though… if they could change that it would be great. Breakfast menu , could still be improved a little . All in all it’s a nice place. There’s room for improvement but it’s nice.

Never Ever again!

Reviewed By 536simi

We spent two nights at Duvet and Crumpets. We were very disappointed. We were told that we would had to pay R70 per day if we wanted to use the airconditoner. We've stayed at several other well established places and were never expected to pay anything additional to use the airconditoner. The place was under equipped and not very clean. It  had a small hot plate and the   utensils were dirty. The cupboards had a terrible stench as a result all their crockery had the same smell. Management was also very unwelcoming. The checkout time is 10h00 at 9:55 we were informed by management that we had 5 minutes to check out. They never bothered to even ask us if we enjoyed our stay and if everything was okay. They need to seriously look at their customer service. We stayed at the Duvet and Crumpets previously but never had such an awful experience. Unfortunately this was our last stay. We will not be staying there ever again. They are forgetting that being in the hospitality industry it's all about making your guests feel comfortable and welcoming so that they come back and also recommend it friends and family. I was expecting to have an awesome weekend with my fiance but they ruined the weekend. We spent two nights at Duvet and Crumpets. We were very disappointed.

Bancroft B&B

Bancroft B & B is in Hilton, in the forested, evergreen hills above Pietermaritzburg, the capital of Kwazulu-Natal. Offering 3 extremely comfortable, well appointed, luxury B&B suites, we can accommodate 8 people in a homely environment with a loved garden. The Family Suite has 2 bedrooms, the Master Bedroom with a King size bed and the other with twin beds, both share an en-suite bathroom which has a bath with a hand shower, basin and toilet. This spacious Suite is cool and can accommodate 4 persons, and looks out to the gardens at the front and the back of the house. The Double Suite has one bedroom with twin beds or a king size bed which ever is preferred, and the en-suite bathroom has a lovely large shower, toilet and basin. Facing the morning sunrise this suite has a pretty garden outlook. The Upstairs Double Suite has one bedroom, with a queen size bed. This suite has a lovely big en-suite bathroom which has a huge bath tub, basin and toilet. There is also a seperate shower. Fully carpeted, it has the addition of aircon and a pretty view to the forests over the rock pool. All 3 Suites suites have electric blankets, DSTV, a hairdryer, a hospitality fridge, fans & a heater and tea and coffee facilities and complimentary Hi-Speed WIFI. We cater for all sorts of different types of people from athletes coming to run Comrades, swim the Midmar Mile, ride in the World Cup Downhill events, or stopping off to train for the Roof of Africa, to business persons and families on holiday or for families who are visiting children in our wonderful local private schools. We offer the comforts of home, including a pleasant pool area and a pretty garden. Dinners can be made by prior arrangement. Vegetarian and vegan meals are also offered. Situated half way between the magnificent Drakensburg Mountains and the Indian Ocean which are each just over an hour away, Hilton is the gateway to the beautiful KwaZulu-Natal Midlands...which is famous for its Midlands Meander. Bustling with artists, crafters and foodies its a riot of experiences and fun. Tree-top canopy tours, ballooning, horse riding, fishing, and sports like golf are all par for the course (if youll pardon the pun!) The Royal Agricultural Show, Art in the Park, Cars in the Park and the Hilton Arts Festival are huge crowd drawers every year, and I must boast our museums and galleries are really excellent. Also not too far afield are the Battle Fields and various historic sights that are extremely interesting - like for instance the Mandela Capture Site.
