"This is a very local non touristy village. We enjoyed the hospitality (even if we couldn’t communicate) The owner helped accomadate my sea food allergy. We really liked the hot bath available in the beautiful water. The only thing I would say is that it isn’t close to anything and you have to walk about 22 minutes to the train "

"家族7人で滞在させて頂きました。駅からも近く、後から来る人、先に帰る人にも良い条件で自由に別荘気分を味わえました。 びわ湖で、マリンスポーツもはじめて挑戦でき、はじめて乗るビスケットに大興奮。良い経験が、できました。 また、BBQ中の急な雷雨にもテントを出して頂いたりと、スタッフの方の素早い対応助かりました。 ベッドが、ソファーベッドと押し入れベッドだったので、寝る準備を始めると埃が出るのが難点。また、シャワー室、トイレにはクーラーがなく、夏場だったのもあって、湿気が…扇風機でもあれば嬉しかったです。 まぁ〜そんなマイナス面を打ち消すくらい、びわ湖の景色は最高です。また、利用したいと思いました。"

"ドッグランもあり綺麗な宿泊施設でした。 オーナーさんへ伝えたい事も何点かあります。 壁には色々とルールが貼ってあるのですが、 台所の食器等は使用した場合には洗って下さいと記載がありました。 洗った食器を置く台や布巾は無かったので、食器を洗ってから濡れたままコンロの上へ全て置きました。 あとキッチンではサランラップは常備品としてあっても良いのではないでしょうか? また犬同伴可能な施設であるのにフローリングがツルツルで犬が何度も転けそうになっていました。 ルールが厳しいのは良いですが、その分内容を充実させた方が良いと思います。"
