We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Ridge cottage! We met Ross on arrival in Hakuba and he showed us to the cottage and gave excellent directions to the local supermarket, Shell service station, nearby restaurants and ski hire shop. He also gave us a discount voucher for ski hire which was most appreciated! The cottage is lovely, very warm, clean and cosy, with lots of space to stretch out. Our daughter started playing in the snow around the cottage almost immediately. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds comfortable and the under rug warmer in the lounge area was a huge hit! The cottage is in a peaceful location, within walking distance to the shops and restaurants of Echoland. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are quite steep, so may not be suitable for very young children or the elderly, but the lounge downstairs converts into a bed and provides another option to sleeping upstairs. Overall, I would highly recommend Blue Ridge cottage as a great place for families or groups to stay while visiting Hakuba.
