I can recommend The Barracks open hartedly. The effort to find out your time of arrival, the welcome drinks, and the traditional breakfast ... 10/10

2/10 Poor

Avoid if disabled.
Definitely not recommended for people with disabilities. The host was unhelpful and patronising. I would not recommend staying there. Things would have been better if the gentleman were polite and professional. First bad experience in Colesberg ever! Being a seasoned traveler, this was the first time that I was treated like an inconvenience. Very disappointed.

A very nice guest house in a property and town with interesting history. The hosts, Mike and Annelie, made us feel welcome and cooked us a fantastic dinner (at extra cost) served in our room. Not a fancy or elegant place, but excellent value overall.

Excellent accommodation. We had our small dog with us and she had a closed area to walk in. Comfortable bed and very gracious hosts. Will definitely stay there when we go down again.
