  • Amazing B&B

    We stayed at Patcham Place inJanuary and returned in March because we loved our stay. And what a pleasant surprise that Patcham Place now has a new ownership that has raised the standard even further. The B&B and the location is still the best possible in Clarens. Now the rooms are nicely renovated and the breakfast is fantastic, absolutly the best ever. And the service level of the hosts... Read this review

  • A wonderful rest in beautiful surroundings.

    The location was excellent. Close enough for a quick walk in to the center of Clarens but far enough away not to be disturbed by the all the hustle and bustle. Johan and Tim were excellent hosts and breakfast was always a real treat! Yummy food, excellent views and attention to detail! Would love to visit again soon.

  • We had a wonderful time in this beautiful B&B and enjoyed the village very much.

    Reception by the new hosts was more than friendly and very personal. Rooms very nicely decorated and comfortable. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic, great setting outdoors on the deck, including binoculars to watch the hikers up in the mountain!
