3/10 (2 reviews)
"出雲大社から徒歩圏内のロケーションも良く、徒歩圏内のコンビニや、車で数分の場所にマーケットなどがあり、便利でした。ベッドや水回りなど設備も最新かつ清潔で使い勝手も良かったです。 残念だったのは対人サービスが全く無く、料金がそれなりのホテル並みに高額（シルバーウィークでしたが）の割に清掃が毎日入らない、チェックインに当たって部屋の説明がある、と言われているのに誰も応対しないなど、これならば同程度の設備のAirbnbを選択する方がリーズナブルなのではと思いました。"

"A very unique experience. Will be excellent if the restaurant can serve some warm food, having a full length mirror inside the cottage will be nice, and a thicker body towel"
