Highly recommend

Superb hotel in Aso. We were so lucky that the host upgraded us to the brand new corner room with amazing view. Room is very spacious, quiet, clean and modern. It’s a shame that we couldn’t do horse riding as it was pouring on the day we stayed.

牧場住宿，無邊無際的牧場讓人有身處美國西部的感覺，設計十分有特色的飯店，除美麗的牧場景色外，還有騎馬活動，帶領你在各山谷間蹓躂。

Actually this is a really good and special place for stay if you wanted something different from traditional accomodation. Food provided is yummy and staff is very friendly and helpful. The negative point of this place is firstly parking is not convenience as our room is a bit far and there are stair to go down. Secondly we think that the property is a bit tired, need further improvement. WE really wish to see a new face on it. Thank you
