We stayed for one night, with my Mother and my two kids aged 2 and 5. The owners have acquired the business over the last month or so and are making genuine efforts to upgrade the facilities and do best by their customers. Super friendly staff. Spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Fit out is basic but they are upgrading it currently and I imagine that the next time we stay, it will be even better. Thanks for an enjoyable little getaway. We will see you next time!

国道１号線沿いにあり、車旅行には便利でとても良かったが、犬がそれ程好きではない私達には、レセプションの建物内に大きな犬がいて、少し犬の匂いが気になった点だけが気になった。
