The hospitality was outstanding. Nothing was a problem. We were made to feel welcome with a friendly greeting, a chat about where to eat and what to do and our mountain bike carefully stored. The room was clean and well equipped with everything you would need. Decor maybe a little tired but this did not detract from the lovely experience and outstanding hospitality of Dean and Tomoko.

Great, clean and comfortable room. Our hosts were exceptional. It was an emergency accomodation request (our flight was cancelled) and we were amazed at the lengths they went to, including offering to pick us up from the airport and taking us back the next day. It was very much appreciated.
