“A big disappointment”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

My husband and I had the great misfortune to book in at New Oxbow Lodge for 1 night last week.We were bitterly disappointed as the room was dingy, dirty and my mattress needed replacing as so worn.

“OK, probably better in winter!”

We just needed an overnight stay on a tour of Lesotho, and the Oxbow Lodge popped up along the road around sunset. It's located in the skiing area of Lesotho toward the north-east, and is really a ski resort, so was virtually deserted when we arrived just after Christmas. It's a little bit derelict - we thought the present owner... More
