A-yard

Overall, a peaceful escape from the city. This is a great place to stay for hiking, nature walks, bouldering and river activities. It's near the station and some bus stops too. I really enjoyed the view from the window. The kitchen is small and there is only a microwave, but it was enough for me. There are no supermarkets or convenience stores nearby, but some local shops sell snacks and prepackaged foods. There is also a Chinese restaurant nearby with affordable food options. If you come outside of the main tourist season, many shops are closed. There are only two rooms at this pension. I imagine the walls are thin, so maybe it could get loud. However, I was the only guest when I stayed, so it was very quiet.

The owner is one of the kindest and friendliest people I’ve met. He goes out of his way to make your stay comfortable. I hope to return and enjoy more of the nature and activities this beautiful location has to offer.

Just the basics, and for the right price. Which is exactly what I was looking for. Staff were super friendly and helpful.
