夫婦旅行でこちらの宿に宿泊しました。到着して受付を済ませると、「ハッピーアワー」というイベントがちょうど行われていて、テラスでフリードリンクを楽しめるとのこと。ワインを片手におつまみをいただきながら、夕涼みを満喫しました。館内はとても綺麗で、サービスも行き届いていて快適でした。今回、お風呂付きのお部屋を予約したのですが、これが本当に最高！琵琶湖を一望しながら、プライベートの源泉掛け流し温泉にゆったりと浸かれ、アルカリ性の少しトロっとした泉質がとても心地良かったです。料理もとても美味しく大満足だったのですが、少食な私たちには量が少し多すぎてしまい、途中で断念。スタッフの方にお願いして、残りをお部屋に持ち帰らせていただけたので助かりました。またぜひ訪れたいと思える素敵な宿でした！

全て最高です。館内も部屋もとても綺麗でした。温泉は好みのアルカリ性でいわゆるトロトロのお湯でした。部屋の露天風呂も24時間源泉かけ流しで、何時でも気持ち良く入れます。食事も素晴らしく、目で愉しみ、舌で愉しみ腹で満足です。とても嬉しかったのが、夕食時に仲居さんに翌日が妻の誕生日だと話したら、デザートのお皿にチョコレートのバースデイカードと信楽焼のカップを頂きました。感激そして感謝です。何より素晴らしいのが、従業員の方々のホスピタリティの高さです。どの部署の方も礼儀正しく、それでいて気さくで大変いい思いをしました。普段はお酒を飲みながらテレビを見るのですが、ここではベランダでまったりしながら飲みました。大概ホテルの部屋には目覚まし時計がありますが、ここにはありませんでした。多分時間を気にせずにゆっくりとの事でしょうか?観光のスケジュールを変えてチェックアウトまでゆっくりしました。是非また行きたいです。

家族で利用しました。母は耳も悪く高齢なので、部屋付きの露天風呂をとても喜んでいました。大浴場まで行けなくても温泉を十分に楽しめたと満喫していました。細やかに配慮していただき、食事の場面など、館内での過ごし全てにおいてホスピタリティを感じ、感謝で涙が出るほどでした。もちろん言うまでもなくご飯も美味しかったです。スタッフさんが雑談してる…とかは全くなかったです。館内の謎解きもとても面白かったです。
