一人で泊まったのですが一番よかったのは雰囲気、空気感です。心がとても和みました。 食事も生ビールもとても美味しくいただきました。お酒のレパートリーもよかったです。 施設も清潔に使いやすく工夫されていました。 宿のスタッフが非常に親切でした。 シャワーのみでお風呂はないのですが、歩いて4分くらいのところの日帰り温泉のサービス券とタオルのサービスで十分すぎると思いました。 スキーオフシーズンにワーケーションで訪れてもよいと思いました。 ただ、1点、4月だったのですが夜とても寒かったです。角部屋だったことやもともと寒がりということもありますが… 暖房設備や寝具などが充実しているともっとよいと思いました。 カフェ&バーの暖炉はとても暖かかったです。
