In the heart of Thoroughbred country, amidst the sun drenched valleys of Giant's Castle, Hartford was home to the family of Natal's last Prime Minister. This is the world of heroic battles, of arts and crafts, famous schools and colleges, where the age-old pastimes of trout fishing, tennis and golf are practiced in the traditional manner.
One of the Country's most beautiful houses and magnificent stud farms, Hartford offers sumptuously appointed en-suite luxury suites and bedrooms, with under-floor heating.
Dine at the table of thoroughbred lore, recount the memories of royal visits and indulge in a feast of the region`s finest produce and a selection of great wines.
The festivals of spring and summer are heralded by a profusion of daffodils, flowering cherries and an-
cient roses, whilst the magnificence of autumn and winter are celebrated in perfect days with roaring logfires in the evenings.
