Clean, quiet, relaxing, well decorated, spacious, beautiful gardens, and we noted the care that had gone into every aspect of the cottage. Appreciated the secure off-street parking.

A gorgeous historic property with a beautiful serene ambience and incredible style. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Sam with a huge smile and genuine welcome, to sitting in the beautiful gardens enjoying an aperitif, sinking down into the most comfortable bed for an incredible night's sleep and finally enjoying a delicious breakfast OUR STAY WAS PERFECT. Kudos to Sam for doing such a great job..he is a gem!

We had a lovely stay at Milner Manor. I was attending my graduation 3rd April 2024. The location was ideal. The staff was great we arrived a bit late than the scheduled time for check in, Natalie and Ziyanda made sure to welcome us with smiles. The beds are comfy, rooms are clean, and the breakfast was tasty and filling.

    Quiet place, comfortable bed and room, microwave and fridge per room, option to do laundry. The location is a healthy 20 to 25 minutes walk away from the city centre. But that also means no traffic around and the freshest air, with nice views. And Makhanda/Grahamstown has (cheap) Uber, and the two Uber drivers of the town (two brothers) by now know the place.
