10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here while diving with a shop in Setouchi. Loved it. Out of town and on the beach so very quiet and pretty. The staff is super friendly. The breakfasts are tasty and huge. The rooms are basic but more than adequate. But I can't imagine staying here without a car to get into town to eat, etc."
