    Beautiful decorated, the owner has really good taste and the place lets you feel at home immediately. It was quiet and the bed so comfortable that we would have loved to stay longer. Also the breakfast was top class and tasteful as the rest of the location. 👌

    B&B on Buckingham is in a safe, lush neighborhood in Craighall, so it's perfect for solo travelers, especially women. The rooms are minimalist, yet cozy, with beautiful views of the city uphill. They are well-maintained, equipped, and very clean (many thanks to Patricia for housekeeping!) You don't have to worry about load-shedding because the place runs on solar (a huge plus!). Most importantly, Gavin was an attentive and accommodating host (he allowed me to check out much later because my flight was in the evening). He also prepared breakfast for his guests himself -- a great personal touch, it was like being home. I had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back! Tip: If you're visiting for the first time, he will have some useful recommendations for you.

    I honestly cannot fault it.

    I loved the atmosphere. Was greeted ever so friendly when we arrived. Felt right at home. I thoroughly enjoyed the bath, that was the highlight of the room. The bed was very spacious and comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was delicious, better than any restaurant. The host Gavin went out of his way to make us feel so comfortable. Highly recommend.
