Wonderful relaxing holiday
The Spier is a lovely vineyard with good accommodation. They are now starting a complete renovation of the hotel and keeping all their staff on as part of the plan . I have always felt completely safe and cared for within the hotel grounds . A wonderful breakfast in the sunshine is the perfect way to start the day . There are many things to do swimming , cycling , walking , visit the hotel vegetable garden and see the birds enroute . I look forward to visiting Spier next year after its renovation

Bad reception service
Booked a luxury room with a single and double bed. The room only had a king size bed, we asked reception to change it and they said they would. We went to the bar, then went back to the room before dinner and the nothing had been changed. We rang reception again and they sent 2 people over who told us you can have 2 bed in the apartment. I showed them the booking that said a double and single bed included. They then said call reception which we did again and they said they’d take care of it. When we returned after dinner it wasn’t change so I slept on the sofa. I’ve stayed there before with wife and kids with 3 beds in a room so they clearer just couldn’t be bothered. I must say all staff at the bar, restaurants, wine tasting and hotel porters were excellent though.

Arrived fairly late in the afternoon and we were unaware of the Wine tasting included in the hotel price. The receptionist called the Wine tasting and they fitted us last minute. Very considerate and helpful staff.

Spier is a fabulous place. We've been coming here for 10 years and they continue to put in new art, the grounds are always becoming more beautiful and the staff are still there and just outstanding as always. Love! Great for families too.

Back for the 7th time!
My wife and I have been staying at The Spier since 2004. As usual the staff were welcoming and friendly and we had a lovely meal in the restaurant one evening. We love being able to walk on the estate in a safe and secure environment. Our one disappointment is the fact that the big screen in the bar area had been removed so what used to be the focal point in the evening and where guests would gather for a nice drink and a chat had gone.
