Gyeongju JY Pension

5-7 October 2011

A beautiful, beautiful pension in Gyeongju.
Run by Ms Min and Mr Han, this cosy pension is surrounded by mountains. Ms Min met us on arrival at the Bomun Lake Area and offered to bring our luggage back to the pension so we could start touring around Gyeongju town. After a day of ambling around Tumuli Park, Cheomseongdae Observatory area, the museum and Anapji Pond, we took a bus back to Chuwon Village and Mr Han came to fetch us back to the pension, which was 5 minutes drive from the bus stop.

The feeling of stepping into the room was like getting home after a long day. The room and floorboards were heated to just the right temperature and the furnishings were so nice.

I had seen pictures of the pension on their website, but nothing beats stepping in here. The pictures didn't begin to describe how lovely this place was.

The next morning, we walked around the property and were greeted by their two dogs. There was also a pool which was not in use at this time of the year. It was nice just sitting on the swing or in the garden. We stayed for two nights and wished it was longer! Definitely would love to come back for a stay if we visit Korea again! *love*

Thanks Ms Min and Mr Han!
