A most pleasant stay with wonderful hosts!
We had a most enjoyable two night stay at Primrose Cottage. A wonderful English breakfast (that coffee!), cosy and warm beds, good linen and Denise and David being assisting and caring hosts all the time, ensured a verypleasant stay - and we would highly reccommend it.

Cold nights but warm welcome
We had a pleasant stay at Primrose cottage. We had a comfortable room and the electric blanket and heaters were appreciated. Our hosts were very welcoming and we enjoyed our many chats.

A lovely break
My sister and I came to Sutherland to see SALT and the star gazing. Denise was so helpful in booking dinner and star gazing for us. The welcome was first class and the room was just what we needed. The beds were clean and comfortable and there were lovely fluffy towels in the bathroom. Breakfast was comprehensive and delicious. A lovely stay and highly recommended.

WHAT AN AWESOME LADYTHAT RUNS THIS GUEST HOUSE. NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE AND SHE WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO DO BOOKINGS FOR US TO GO AND WATCH RUGBY, DINNER RESERVATIONS AT A RESTAURANT AND BOOKING TO GO SEE THE STARS. SHE MADE IT A TRULY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR US IN SUTHERLAND AND I WILL RECOMMEND HER ESTABLISHMENT TO ANY PERSON GOING IN THAT DIRECTION

Warmest welcome!
What a welcome we received! And this from people previously totally unknown to us. As I had booked this as a surprise for my husband's birthday we were stunned by all the personal small touches, including a birthday banner over the mirror in our room, a welcoming glass of white wine,... Denise also took care of all the reservations (to the Observatory, for dinner at a restaurant). The cherry on the cake was David's very knowledgeable explanation of the gorgeous starry sky! He studies Astro-Physics and - by laser pointer - brought the whole sky to life for us: on a basic level for myself but on a very in-depth level for my husband who is a retired space engineer. David just started this as a private venture but should definitely expand this. I think a lot of people would enjoy his calm and private explanations where he answers all your questions in a very knowledgeable way. No need to tell you we were both in high heaven!
Have been travelling the world for over 40 years but never had a welcome such as this one!
Thank you so very much, Denise and David, we'll definitely send our friends to you! Come and see us in Belgium! Roland & Marleen

Fell In Love with Sutherland
This little cottage and its wonderful hosts are a big reason my girlfriend and I fell in love with Sutherland on our weekend there. Wonderful experience! I hope to return one day.

Primrose Great
Hospitality at Primrose is the best I have come across to date. Dave and Denise make you feel at home from arrival to departure. The house is basic yet super clean with cosy white linen.
Coming back from stargazing at 22h00 and very cold we were surprised with hot chocolate with a smile. (on the house, compliments from Denise).
By the time we got to Primrose, Denise already booked our dinner table, visit to salt and stargazing at Jurgh's place.
Dinner was expensive at Cluster d'Hote but worth the expense. Karoo lamb chops and shank that Dr Tim Noakes will die for.
Well done Dave and Denise.

Dave and Denise are wonderful hosts. Kind, thoughtful with a wealth of information regarding SALT and Sutherland. The cottage is clean, neat and homely. We had a lovely time in Sutherland. Lovely lamb shanks at Cluster and pizza at Jupiter.
When we left, it felt like we were leaving friends behind! Thanks Dave and Denise!

Perfect hospitality in the quietness of the Karroo.
Dave and Denise are the perfect hosts in this lovely quiet getaway, complete with crisp white linen and all the warmth you could want in a guesthouse. The coffee and breakfast were delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Dave is extremely knowledgeable about the stars and that is what guests to Southerland have come for. Denise will direct you to everything you may need in the little friendly town. We'll be back. Thank you, Primrose Cottage.

Average
The cottage was very neat and tidy and Denise was very friendly. However we did not realise that this is actually their residence, as one can see from the stuff around that they actually live there, and have just moved out for us! Further more..we were very unhappy about the "sleeping couch" that was provided for the 5th person. It was a rolled out mattress fit for a child...when I tried to discuss this with her, she was not interested at all! I am sure if this has happened to her, she would not have been happy sleeping on a fold out mattress on the floor, fit for a child, definitely not a 'biggish' adult male! The 5th person was an extra income for her, as her occupancy for 4 people was filled! We had no problem in paying for the breakfast that was included! This left a sour taste of money is everything, and we will not be back!!

Friendly and Inviting Hosts
I needed a place to stay while on a business trip (3 nights) to Sutherland. Primrose Cottage and their hosts, Denise and Dave, were very accommodating. The twin room was simple and cosy.
I enjoyed my stay there, and I would recommend it to friends and family if they were staying in the area.

Thank you
Excellent hospitality and if your planning an observatory visit, this is certainly the Sutherland B&B as David is an Observatory guide.
Michael Jay, South Africa
Thank you
We went there to find snow and instead found wonderful hospitality. Should we go to Sutherland again we would definitely make use of Primrose again. Thank you to Denise and Dave. God Bless.
