In fact this farm house can sleep up to 7 persons, and we saw that there was barbecue set outside the farm house, so I think this is perfect for larger family. ##### Sally Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Keonjoo 7 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### 외딴 농장 숙소 식사를 직접 준비해야하는지 전혀 모르고 저녁에 갔다가 너무 당황했습니다. 식사하기 위해 다시 나가서 잘 모르는 어두운 길을 20분 이상 운전해 나가야 했으니까요. 그야말로 외딴 곳에 있는 농장 숙소입니다. 벌레가 많아 아이가 많이 힘들어했습니다. 호텔에 익숙한 여행자에겐 추천하지 않습니다. 다만 아침에 산책하긴 좋았습니다. 집 찾기 쉽지 않습니다. 우연히 근처에서 주인을 만나 간신히 숙소를 찾았습니다. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1535-p4c28add0-9a47-11e8-96be-0242ac11000a-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s30-p47b30430-9a47-11e8-b409-0242ac110007-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s554-p48fa7850-9a47-11e8-96be-0242ac11000a-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Keonjoo Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Miki 4 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness #### 静かな自然の中のゆったりした場所 メインの道路からは少し離れた静かな場所で、緑に囲まれた一戸建て。二階には部屋が二つ、ベッド３つの部屋と、布団が３組ある部屋。トイレは１階だったので、夜中にトイレに起きる年寄りには少し面倒でした。リビングには大きいテーブルがあり、車で１０分ほど離れたスーパーで買ってきた物で食事をしました（滞在した日がたまたまカフェが閉まっている日だったので、朝食もお願いできなくて）。テレビは無く、インターネットもあまり繋がらなかった。前日に雨が降ったので、建物の周りが泥と水たまりでちょっと大変でしたが、子供のいる家族にはオススメのゆったりとした場所。ファームトミタまでは車で１０分以下と便利。 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1808-p76ea6c30-97cb-11e8-b409-0242ac110007-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1850-pfe52e1c0-97cb-11e8-94ca-0242ac11000e-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Miki Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 非常好的住宿感受，房东很友善，等我们到很晚。这是二层的木质小楼，床很舒服，房间很干净。可以自己做饭，离富良野很近。 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CH, Singapore 21 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cozy cottage for family of 5 (2 nights) The cottage is probably more than 10 years old but it’s well maintained.
