I stay at Goble Palms regularly as a tour guide and look forward to it with great anticipation. The place exudes quality and even smells top class. Rooms are really comfortable and stylish without compromise. Staff are friendly and all in all, one of the best guest house/boutique style stays I have come across.

A group of us stayed here while we were taking part at the UN Conference on Climate Change in December 2011.

The breakfasts were superb, but most of all... More

The accomodation and facilities are second to none, service is brilliant and all concerned will make your stay one to remember. (Have a good appetite for breakfast). Accompanying photographs... More

Goble Palms is a great place to stay, offering excellent and friendly service from the staff, great value, very good location and great comfort. The rooms and lounge areas are beautifully furnished and the overall feel is that of charm and class. I will be back and have highly recommended this lodge to my company for all our staff.
