We stayed in the B&B for 6 nights, so we should have a say. Let me start with the conclusion: as a coffee shop, it is good enough; but as a B&B, it is not qualified. I will try my best to state the facts objectively below.
The breakfast, afternoon tea and good night sweet soup at the B&B are all delicious, especially the afternoon tea desserts, which are basically the same after 6 days, and the dining environment is also great (see Figure 9). But it’s all cafe related.
As for the B&B, it was disappointing. I think there are three major flaws:
First, the hot water comes out very slowly. When we first arrived, the sink and shower were put on at the same time (according to the service guy, this would make hot water come out faster), and it took 10 minutes for them to come out. After that, every time the hot water comes out, it takes 1-2 minutes. As a five-star B&B, this is intolerable.
Second, there were small ants in the room and even got into the refrigerator. One time we were late for afternoon tea and asked the waiter to put the food in the room refrigerator. As a result, there were many ants in the refrigerator the next day. (See picture 1, I forgot to take a photo in the refrigerator) Although the B&B is on the edge of farmland and relatively primitive, this is not an excuse to have ants crawling in the room. Since it is built in an original ecological environment, corresponding pest control work must be done. Otherwise it will affect your life too much.
Thirdly, the decoration of the room is quite rough. The decoration of the room is very dilapidated: cracked ceiling, pillars, peeling paint on the walls, pitted paint, and light-transmitting blinds (the room has no curtains, only blinds to block light) (see Figure 2-8). These pictures do not appear in the official pictures or you need to zoom in and look carefully to see them. Even if it is done deliberately to match the pastoral style, it is not very reasonable: if the B&B believes that these are the embodiment of design, why not highlight them in the official pictures? Even if this has a sense of design, will it still feel good when you wake up to the light coming from the blinds at 7-8 o'clock in the morning? (There is only a steam eye mask in the room, which is not light-proof; breakfast at the B&B starts at 9 o'clock, and there is no food when I get up.) Sacrifice the basic feeling of home for the sake of "design sense", and overwhelm the guests.
In addition, the B&B service is not very professional. Except for a guy who often works the night shift, all the other waiters have straight faces and no smiles. They will not say hello or even ignore them when they meet (of course, they will still pay attention if they take the initiative to speak). But there is also a good side. The waiters will try their best to meet our requests.
But B&B supplies are still available. The bedding is comfortable, there is a makeup mirror, and facial masks, steam eye masks, earplugs, and white shoes are provided every day, which is very considerate.
If you can tolerate these shortcomings, this is still a good place. some advices:
1. When taking a taxi, don’t take the village road. It’s very narrow and makes it difficult for cars coming from the opposite direction to drive. There are no lights at night.
2. If you go to the south gate of the ancient city, it is recommended to take Chongsheng Road + Xiajiyi North Road
3. Bring mosquito repellent and spray more on the table next to the door to prevent small ants.
4. If you have food to put in the refrigerator, it is recommended to put it in the refrigerator in the lobby outside.
5. Bring your own black eye mask to help you sleep more in the morning.
