I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location and charm of the building are a plus, and the restaurant serves excellent food, but the room was basic and there were a few noise issues during the night. The service was decent, but not standout. Overall, I enjoyed the dining experience but felt the room could use some improvements.

I had an enjoyable experience at the hotel, with a charming atmosphere and delightful dining, especially with the stunning cherry blossoms outside. While the room was quaint and clean, it could have used a few more amenities. The service was relaxed and attentive, contributing to a lovely overall stay. The restaurant was definitely a highlight, showcasing fantastic food, though some noise from festivities downstairs was a bit distracting at bedtime.

I had a pleasant stay at this character-filled country hotel on the main road. The dining experience was fantastic, with a recently remodeled restaurant and excellent food. On the downside, the room I stayed in faced the road, which meant I either had to deal with noise or heat, as it lacked modern amenities. Overall, it was a decent value for the price with its comfortable dining area and friendly atmosphere.

Rooms

My room was quite basic with just beds and a hand basin. It was facing the road, which made it tough to decide between keeping the window closed for coolness or open for quiet, but at least it was clean.

I had a fantastic time during my stay, enjoying a delicious lunch while surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms and wisteria. The restaurant offered an inviting atmosphere, quick service, and a mouthwatering menu featuring fresh ingredients. However, I did face a bit of an unexpected struggle getting my bags upstairs, which was quite the workout. Overall, the experience was delightful and worth it for the tasty food.

We had a lovely experience at this hotel with a welcoming atmosphere and some delightful dining options. The room was cozy with fantastic pillows, though it was on the smaller side. The noise from the bar below was noticeable but manageable. Overall, it's a comfortable spot with a great dining experience, especially the desserts, but the room's size and road noise could be improved.
