Stranded - No Rooms Hotel under renovation
We had paid for reservation for 4 rooms for 4 people. Arrived late night/early morning 3.00 am and find out there are no rooms available because the hotel is being renovated. They directed us to go to a different hotel providing no further assitance. Why they accept reservation and payment when the rooms do not exist is any body's guess. They left us starnded. What if it was a family who has never travelled to Freetown before. Bad experience.

My first time at County Lodge hotel was good. Upon arrival I was greeted and welcomed. The room was was very spacious, and I like the outdoor area. The bathroom though needed some work. The water faucet was spraying water all over the bathroom counter and floor when you open the sink. The hot water took a while to come on. My only issue was when I went downstairs to eat the complimentary breakfast. The waiter, who was a bald headed guy did not even acknowledged me, he went about wiping down the table. The view from the hotel is amazing. And the WiFi is excellent.

The Country Lodge is my favorite hotel in Freetown. It has the best view of the ocean and town (from top of Station Hill); reliable wifi and very friendly staff. Most rooms have verandas overseeing the ocean; there's a gym; tennis court and pools. And it's also far from the hustle and bustle of the city which (for me) is a huge plus. Highly recommended.

The Country Lodge Hotel has a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean and Freetown from the top of the Hill Station. It has a gym and two swimming pools (one for kids) and the best wifi in town (I could download a 50 min movie in 10 minutes). The access road to the top of the hill is quite bumpy, but manageable even during the rainy season. The bar food menu is not great and it's the only one available during the rainy season. The main restaurant (open the rest of the year) has a much better selection of food.

Friendly, clean but restaurant could be better
Nice large room, generally clean and comfortable and staff is friendly and switched on. Food was so, so with some dishes very good and some dishes very disappointing. Wifi surprisingly good, very few power outages, very poor water pressure in the shower.

Great place to stay
I only stayed here for 1 night, but I really enjoyed my stay.
While the location isn't especially convenient for accessing Freetown, being located in the hills gives you an amazing view over Freetown which makes it worthwhile. The view from the bar/restaurant was great! The food here was good too.
The staff were extremely friendly and I couldn't fault them.
Breakfast was good but would have been nice to have proper coffee rather than instant coffee.
I'll happily stay again next time I'm in Sierra Leone. Thanks!

The hotel is currently under construction. They had upgraded our rooms to the presidential suite which was across from the main lobby in another building. There are no elevators and it far from the restaurants. Lots of stairs and walking. I also wish my mattress was softer. The view from the restaurant was amazing. The staffs were the nicest most attentive group of people I have ever met.

Not bad!
We spent almost a week here and although it’s a great choice for Freetown there are a few minor downsides.
The menu is limited in the restaurant and sometimes sections of the menu are totally unavailable.
The pool is lovely but there are often afternoon or evening events on which prevent you from utilising the pool and relaxing down by the pool in the evening whilst peacefully enjoying the sunset.
There was often very loud music until 3am, which although not an issue for us if you are a light sleeper it could well be.

room was very nice and clean. There was a musty smell in the room.
Hotel is quiet, safe and spacious out of town so transport essential. Staff are excellent and helpful. Restaurant provides good quality food. There is a good size pool and bar area to watch sunsets

Nice stay
Very nice place - great view of Freetown and the ocean - though the road is rather bumpy to get there. Rooms are being modernised - but are comfortable. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for a nice stay.
