Flower Yard

Beautiful hotel in a small village. We had very beautiful view from our room to the mountains as the room had 3 huge almost floor to ceiling windows. Angel is very helpful and does everything so that clients feel good and comfortable. She prepared us breakfast according to our wishes and we ate in the courtyard under big trees. Angel helped us to call Didi car and suggested us to take bicycles to drive to a nearby restaurant. The area is very quiet, surrounded by different farms, forests and mountains. Bed linen, blankets and pillows super good quality!

There are no shops or restaurants in the village. Just some narrow streets and local´s homes. We found a shop in Bohaisuo town on our way back from Great Wall. For dinner Angel took us to a tourist farm where she taught pottery and recommended us to eat in the restaurant on the same premises. Unfortunately this restaurant offered only very expensive western food. We would have wanted to try some local Chinese dishes, but there were no such places.

It was like going by an old friend, the room was really big and also the shower. Angel was always there whenever we needed something, I traveled with my 9 years old daughter and it was a surprise to find that Angel’s daughter and mine took down the language barrier and played together for the whole time, they were so happy to find someone to play with. Angel helped me to arrange the transfer and also the visit at the Mutianyu Great Wall, we went up with the cableway and down with the slideway, it was amazing! Huairou is a calm village where you can relax and take a break from the city life, where you can take a walk by the riverside or sit next to a sunflower garden, where you can enjoy a very good noodle’s dish and relax with a pottery lesson near the river. We absolutely loved our stay in Huairou, even more than our stay in the capital, we had the chance to meet amazing people at the His&Hers cafe, we even sang together, Angels neighbor was so kind to help us with our luggages when we left..I can continue forever with the compliments so I just want to thank Angel and the pretty Emma for being our friends during this trip of our and I totally recommend Flower Yard, in addiction Angel also organizes tours of the Forbidden City so if you want to go to visit you can be assured that you will have the best guide ever! See you in the future, we will came back for sure!!

A Truly Special StayWarm Hosts, Beautiful Setting, and Exceptional Hospitality! We had the most wonderful stay at this accommodation! From the moment we arrived, Angel and her husband made us feel completely at home. Angel speaks English great, which made communication easy and stress-free. She went above and beyond to help us organise tickets to the Great Wall, and even accompanied us to make sure everything went smoothly. Thanks to her help, we avoided the crowds and had a peaceful, unforgettable experience. It saved us a lot of time and stress, and we’re so grateful. One of the highlights for us was the incredible care they took with our son's dietary requirements. Angel personally cooked meals tailored to his needs, which meant so much to us and made our trip that much more enjoyable. We also got great breakfast: eggs, toast, tea and fruits. The room was spacious, spotless clean, and very comfortable- perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The village itself is peaceful and full of charm, with quiet streets and scenic paths ideal for walks and soaking in the local atmosphere. Angel is not only a gracious and attentive host but also a talented potter, and her husband is an artist and he paints amazing paintings- their creativity and warmth made the whole place feel unique and inspiring. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality made this one of the most memorable places we’ve ever stayed.

We loved our stay here!!! Angel was super helpful and the room and breakfast were both amazing. Highly recommend!! 100/10!

Magnifique lieu, décoré avec goût, spacieux, calme. Accueil parfait et agréable. Vus tout près, idéal pour aller à la grande muraille. Merci!

We have booked two separate rooms, both perfect for the stay. Angel our host, was amazing, helping us from arrival in airport, to our leave. Breakfast was excellent.

Nothing to complain about.

It should be mentioned, this property is a ten-minute drive from our object, the Great Wall. Although there are closer hotels, friends were effusive in its praise, so we decided to stay at the Flower Yard. The inn is clean, spacious, bright and inviting. The queen bed was especially comfortable. The morning meal was delicious and huge. Most of all, we were moved by the outstanding service from Angel - and her helpers. Angel arranged transport to and from the Wall, guided us at the Wall and managed a long list of details that made this momentous adventure even more memorable. We are grateful for her attentiveness and delightful welcome throughout our stay and in communication before and after. We join our friends in their effusivenss. Should you chose the Flower Yard, please tell them Brad and Jacob sent you.

Take note: the shower temp control is under the faucet!

An Unforgettable Experience with an Exceptional Host! Our stay at the family residence near the Great Wall of China was nothing short of spectacular.From the moment we arrived, Angel made us feel at home with her warm and personalized hospitality that went above and beyond our expectations. The breakfast was deliciousand thoughtfully prepared to suit our tastes—a detail we truly appreciated! But what made this experience truly special was Angel’s guidance during our visit to the Great Wall. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine care allowed us to enjoy every moment without any logistical worries. Thanks to her, everything felt seamless, enriching, and filled with those little touches that make a trip memorable. In short We’d recommend this experience without hesitation Not just for the breathtaking beauty of the location (which is awe-inspiring), but for Angel’s kindness, professionalism, and the heartfelt connection she fostered. This wasn’t just a place to stay—it was a journey filled with authenticity and warmth.Thank you for everything, Angel!

Nothing, everything was wonderful!!

Accommodation has a cosy village vibe. Spacious for my family of 4. Angel and her husband readily helped with ticketing needs and travel advice. We enjoyed very much the breakfast which included local fruits, good coffee/ hot chocolate. It gave us the energy boost for our Great Wall climbs. Mutianyu Great Wall is 7 minutes drive away. Lakeside Great Wall is 30 minutes drive away. Huairou town with shopping mall is 20 minutes away.

Thin mattress for one of the beds. However, we slept through the night comfortably.

This trip was amazing!!! I researched so many hotels and this one came up the best! This hotel and the stay are totally made by the hosts! They pick you up from the station or airport and they take you to the Great Wall of China whenever you want, they book all the tickets to the cable car and toboggan and give you a little personal tour! They help you get the best souvenirs for a cheap price if you want. They took us to a tea ceremony. Cooked us whatever we wanted for dinner and breakfast! Arranged our trip back to the station and our sightseeing in Beijing. Totally amazing!! Took all the stress out of our holiday! So kind!

Nothing! It’s perfect!
