ゆっくりできました。入り口に自転車もあり、借りられるのも、手頃な料金も、良かったです。外食でなく、ＪＡなどで、新鮮な地元の食材を使って、レンジ調理など簡単調理をして楽しめば良かったと思いました。なにより、涼しく居心地が良かったです。いつでも、コーヒーやお茶が用意してあるのも嬉しかったです。

満足！

車山のフランス車イベント参加で宿泊。　周囲の旅館よりは安く泊まれると思いますが、シャワー・トイレが共同となります。（共にリフォーム済で綺麗！）　部屋にはこたつが有り、当日は寒かったのでこたつで就寝…　旅館の主もフランス車に詳しかったのか、私の乗って来た車の事を聞かれました！

空調がないため、扇風機を使用。 今までは涼しく空調の必要が無かったが、昨今の気候変動で設置を考えているとのことでした。 朝は23度と寒いくらいでした。 朝食はパン３種類　切り餅　バター　ジャム　ジュース　紅茶　緑茶　コーヒー　麦茶　 果物は持参した物を食べました。卵やソーセージ　野菜がちょっと欲しい気もします。

とても良かったです

女性の一人旅でも安心して宿泊出来ました。 掃除も行き届いており、とっても快適に過ごすことが出来ました。そしてなんと言っても、オーナーさん夫妻にサービス以上のサービスをして頂き、恐縮な思いと嬉しさでいっぱいになりました。業務用キッチンも夕方〜夜まで使い放題で、『暮らす様に旅をする』こんな方にピッタリなお宿です。朝もコンロは使えませんが（使用時間以外の為）キッチンは使わせて頂く事ができ、夜に作っておいた物と、お宿サービスの朝食と合わせて食べる事が出来、とても良かったです。 とにかく宿泊者目線で運用されていて、素晴らしいお宿でした。ありがとうございました！
ワーキングスペースも充実しており、食堂のお茶など持って来て作業が出来て勉強が捗りました！
業務用キッチンで業務用コンロも使い放題でした！すごい！

安く、綺麗で、ご利用する方も少なく、静かで過ごしやすかったです。 価格が安い分、お風呂、トイレが共同なので、その点はご注意下さい。使用するのに、何の問題もなかったです。気になったのは廊下を歩く時の音が割とあった点位です。
