(5 reviews) 家族でゆったり過ごせました(\*^^\*) 0歳と4歳の子どもと一緒に家族で宿泊しました。 ホテルだと子どもたちの騒音が気になってしまうのですが、一軒家だったのでゆったり過ごせて有り難かったです。(声がご近所に響いてしまったらすみません) 外見は昔ながらの平屋といった感じなのですが、室内はキレイにリフォームされており、リビング・寝室・浴室・トイレ等ホームページの写真通りで快適でした。また、フレグランスも気を配ってくださっており玄関もいい香りがしました。 玄関は昭和生まれには懐かしいタイプの鍵だったので、若い世代の方は新鮮かもしれません(笑) 駐車場も一台とのことですが、お庭も広いので三台は余裕で停められる広さでした。 乳児用布団やベビーソープ、オムツ専用のゴミ箱備え付けあり、大変有り難かったです。 ...
