All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and go above and beyond what you expect.Good security. Highly recommend and would return. More

We stayed at the Clarendon Fresnaye Nov 2011. The hotel is a small boutique style, but the service and welcome you get is amazing. The rooms are very spacious with huge beds, overlooking the pool, (to cold in November) and immaculately kept gardens. We were offered drinks on arrival, whilst our luggage was taken to our room. Emmy is very... More

We had a group of 10 stay at the Clarendon for 6 nights. The staff was wonderful - willing to help with restaurant reservations, sightseeing information, transportation and anything else we needed. Emmy and the staff were all very attentive and never made us feel like we were putting them out. Breakfast was always enjoyable and prepared to order. I... More

As a family we have travel to many places in the world. I cannot think of a hotel where we were more comfortable, had more fun or liked the employees. It seemed at every turn they treated us like THEIR family. Their advice on visiting town was spot on, and they reacted to our requests wonderfully. For example, our last... More

The Clarenden is a charming boutique hotel in a lovely restored historic building. We were two adults and a 15 year old boy and had ample space staying in a large king size room with a spacious bathroom with a sofa bed for our son. There is a really pretty garden with two small pools to cool off in, or... More

Thank you so much for a very warm and hospitable stay. Emmy and Kate are certainly the wheels of this dream team and I am honored to have had them look after me.

At first moment the friendly, helpful staff made us feel like home. Because the place was small, you got to know the staff well and they never forgot to say hi when we left or came back to the hotel. The rooms were neat and all the rooms had airpumps, which found out to be useful. Great plus that the... More
