The reservation will be booked, but the price will be settled in double. No food was brought to them, and it seemed difficult to understand the conversation.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 consecutive nights with our dog (a small dog).Initially, I made a reservation for 3 consecutive nights in a twin room at the main building of Villa Sansui, but on the day of check-in,``Hanare Sansui has a bath and toilet. It's just empty so how about that? ”Since the main building didn't have a bath in the guest room and reservations were required, I thought it would be more relaxing to stay at the lodge, so I stayed at Hanare Sansui.First of all, to sum it up, it was the worst.① No matter where you look on the reservation site or Sansui's website, the pet fee is listed as 2,200 yen per pet, but the fee is 2,200 yen per night. I would like it to be clearly stated as 2,200 yen per night.②Basically, it is prohibited to leave the house with only dogs. I get a lot of attention when I let them roam free in my room. It is also prohibited to put it on the futon. If so, I asked them to lend me a cage, and they gave me a small cage for small animals. The cage is so small that a small dog won't be able to fit the toilet or water container inside.Isn't it too small? I bluntly replied that this is the only option.When I tried putting my dog ​​in it, it was so small that he couldn't move. (Maltipoo 4 kg)When I inquired in advance, I was told that there was a proper gauge in the room, so I didn't need to bring it.③If you only have a flimsy futon and sleep on it between the boards, your lower back and back will be in severe pain the next morning.It seems that the futon was not dried.Do you want to change linens? She insists on letting me into her room. When you ask, sheets are left behind and towels are placed in the back where customers can't see them. They will let you know if you don't have any towels! It will be reopened.④My wife loves bread, so I ordered a freshly baked bread set for breakfast for three nights, but it cost 880 yen per meal, 1760 yen for two people. Three small pieces of bread and a pack of juice (only on the first day. From the second day, orange juice and apple juice in paper cups), cold boiled eggs, yogurt, chikama and fish sausage.It's still better to have breakfast at a coffee shop.⑤ Breakfast is brought to me between 7:30 and 8:00, but I keep getting slammed on the door and I wake up. It's so noisy until it comes out.I am a self-employed businessman and travel with my family and dog several times a year and use hotels and lodges, but this was the worst experience ever. They're so busy that you can tell that they prioritize their work efficiency over the customers, and they ignore the customers' convenience, banging on the door early in the morning, and loudly shouting that it's time for breakfast. , She's making a lot of noise, asking me to change the linens and clean the room, and even though I've told her that I'm working remotely in the morning, she's been making noise since morning...I will never go again.However, the view and location are very nice.There are convenience stores within walking distance, the beach of Lake Biwa, and many sightseeing spots within a 10-minute drive.It was a very disappointing stay since it was a nice place.

It was used by 13 people.I rented the facility for a BBQ that I brought in, but I was able to use it without any trouble and was satisfied.The cottage was also old-fashioned and clean, and all the participants slept soundly (lol).With a lot of nature and a beautiful sea, it is the perfect location for summer memories.The only disappointing thing was that they almost charged a parking fee for each motorcycle.I called three times to confirm, ``I'm going with a car and multiple motorcycles, but how much is the additional fee?''The staff member's answer was, ``As long as it fits in one parking space, no matter how many bikes you park, it's the same fee as one bike.''I checked many times beforehand so I was sure of it, but on the day I was suddenly told that it would be 1,200 yen per car, and I was offended when I was charged an additional fee of over 7,000 yen.I wanted to communicate with you via email, but perhaps because you are busy, I haven't received a lot of replies even after sending emails, so I decided to call you.I didn't have any problems other than the parking fee, so I would like to give it a 4 star.The staff at your accommodation may be busy, so it might be a good idea to leave important information via email.It was fun, thank you very much (^^)

It's within walking distance from Makino Station, but most people probably go by car.The building was clean and had a nice plumbing facility! The shower room was particularly clean. You can also have a barbecue. If you are only buying the ingredients, please contact us to pick up your barbecue set by 6:30 in the evening. I think it is suitable for families or families. You can enjoy a stress-free time by keeping a reasonable distance from other groups. I was grateful for bread and other breakfast items when I was feeling exhausted in the morning from drinking too much.

Yesterday, June 11th (Saturday), my wife, son, and two beloved dogs stayed at my mother's birthday.They were very responsive on the phone and provided thorough explanations in advance.Even though I arrived early, I was shown to my room.My two dogs were also very happy.There is also a dog run on the premises, and Sunny Beach is just a short walk away, so it was great to be able to take my dog ​​for a walk.It's a very nice location, and it's as beautiful as the sea.When I stayed in a two-story room in a log house, I felt that the building and interior were very clean, and they even provided a cage for my dog.I am grateful that my mother was able to use the toilet and stairs without any problems, even though she had bad legs.For dinner, my family didn't have to drink anything, and the BBQ that was being cooked right in front of our room was amazing to watch and eat.The portions were plentiful and I didn't feel hungry afterward.I'm also happy because I can bring my own drinks and buy them at a nearby convenience store.We had a wonderful time eating freshly baked bread for breakfast while looking out at the view.Metasequoia trees and Sarasa Onsen are also 20 minutes away by car.It's also close to Fukui, so you can stop by and eat some seafood.Thank you very much for your time.It was a place that made me want to visit again.If I had a request, I would like the food and mattress for the dog to be thicker, as they are thin, and personally, I like the pillows to be hard and high.My mother was happy, so I wrote this as a thank you.

Even though I made the reservation two days in advance, they were very courteous, and even though I didn't know my arrival time on the day, they were able to contact me by phone or email.I also had a dog with me, and she was very accommodating.Also, when I learned that it was my father's birthday, he gave me a small surprise.I had really good memories.I would also like to use it at other times.

This was my first visit since I was told that I could stay with animals!I felt a little uneasy because there was no option but to pay instantly when making a reservation from the official website, but...it seems that most of the customers use the hotel in the summer. The cottage was about 70% occupied. The cottage does not come with dinner, so you have to prepare it yourself. There was an IH in the room, but it's best to assume that you can't cook much at all. It might be safe to bring your own food or have an advantageous BBQ.When I used it, it was February and it was cold at night, but I was lucky that there was space in the family bath in the main building so I was able to use it🤗22.02.12
