家族旅行で4泊利用しました。オーナーの方がとても気さくな方で原村周辺の観光情報を教えてくださりました。また、1歳児を連れており部屋のベッドに寝かせるのは危険なので布団を貸して欲しいという急なお願いにも対応してくださりとても助かりました。ペンションの外観や内装はドイツのガストホフのような家庭的で暖かい感じでとてもおしゃれでした。宿泊費もリーズナブルでとても満足しました。また長野に行く機会があったら是非利用したいです。

オーナーといろいろお話しましたが、来年50周年を迎えるとのことでした。とても親しみやすく、快適に宿泊できました。 朝食は歩いて5-10分の原村CAFEをすすめられて行ってきました。設備は歴史を感じますが、いい味になってるし、清潔感はありました。 また機会があれば行きたいと思います。

静かで素晴らしい環境。親切なオーナー。ペンション村の入り口に位置するのでわかりやすい。ただし、ブールがなかった。是非おいてほしい。周辺にレストランなど少なく、閉店時間も早いので注意。

飲食店探しはオーナーに聞いて良かったです。

素泊まりで利用しましたがオーナーに近くの飲食店を紹介してもらえました。近くの飲食店が混んでいたのですがオーナーの顔で予約していただけました。近くに温泉施設もありますし朝も美味しいパン屋さんもありますので特に困る事はありません。トイレは共同ですが誰にも会わずに混む事もなかったです。

ご両親の後を継ぎオーナー様お一人で営まれ素泊まりで2泊GWに利用させて頂きました。近くに飲食できるお店が限られており電話予約しておかないと入れず食事付きのプランがあるとゆっくり過ごせたと思いました。昔ながらのペンションですが大変きれいに清掃されており感心致しました。若い頃にユースホステルを利用した経験のある者にとっては価格はリーズナブルで充分でした。お世話になりありがとうございました。

去年に引き続き、今年もGWに家族で泊まらせてもらいました。時間がゆっくり流れていて、空気がきれいで、２回目にも関わらずずっとマスターのことを知っているかのような居心地の良さでした。また行きたいです。

平谷ペンションにおせわになったのは初めてでしたが、オーナーさんはとても優しい方で、色々教えてくださいました。当日の夜、たまたま花火大会。ダンボールをお尻の下に引くといいと、段ボールをくださいました。 雨で全部は映画も見れませんでしたが、とにかくあたたかい気持ちになりました。 周りは森に囲まれ、静かな場所、次男とここでよかったねと言いながら過ごさせていただきました。 また次もこよう！と言いながら帰路につきました ありがとうございました。

涼しくて夏におすすめの環境です

子供たちとの旅行に利用させて頂きました。 3泊させて頂きましたが、初日にフェイスタオルが1人1枚もらえるだけだったので、毎日交換してくれたり、バスタオルも借りれたら良かったと思います。 子供たちはWi-Fiが弱かった事が不満だったようです。現代っ子なので…。 長野の中でも山梨寄りのため、清里へも行きやすかったです。 毎朝、近所で開催される朝市が面白くておすすめです。
