What do people say about Bella Rosa Guest House
“We were visiting the Sandstone Heritage Trust farm and stayed over one night. The reception was very helpful and showed me to my room. The Guest House has an “antique” feel to it but suited all my requirements. Comfortable bed, could watch a bit of the IPL on DSTV, warm shower and a hearty breakfast. It ticks the boxes and I had a comfortable stay-over.” – Anton TripAdvisor.
“Really great stay for 2 weeks while attending the Stars of Sandstone event. The team at Bella Rosa couldn’t have been more helpful, from booking right through to check out, really helpful, kind and polite. Accommodation was really comfortable and spacious with everything that was needed during the stay. Access was straightforward and available at all hours which were ideal given our early hours and late evenings. Breakfast was a lovely mix of cereals, toast and cooked and all very nice. Would definitely stay again.” – Rich TripAdvisor.
