  • All the staff had wonderful smiles, the art-filled space was relaxing, and the food was excellent—our child was smiling the whole time. We thought it would be even better if children could stay together in a wider variety of Rooms. It became a great summer memory.

  • I stayed at Kilstick House A. It was wonderful. First of all, I was truly happy to receive fresh welcome fruit! It felt much better after a long journey than sweets. I heard one air conditioner was out of order, but thanks to your thoughtful care, I stayed cool and comfortable.All the windows could be opened wide, and I fully enjoyed the space that felt connected to the outdoors. The hospitality was comfortable—attentive without being overbearing. The layout also offered a special sense of exclusivity for guests, with excellent spacing and design so I never had to worry about other guests’ privacy either. The step-up entryway and wooden flooring were also great.Since it’s not very relaxing to put sneakers back on after wearing them all day, it would have been even better if there were sandals available for an evening walk, if possible. The garden was lovely as well—the flowers were beautiful. I imagine maintaining such a garden in midsummer must take a lot of time and effort.Breakfast wasn’t overly elaborate—just simply delicious. I also appreciated having a hair iron.Even though I traveled far, there were none of the usual inconveniences—you can live as you normally do, yet enjoy the luxury of spending an evening alongside an art museum. Next time, I’d love to visit in winter. Thank you very much for everything.
