Dreamhome Chiangdao

I read all the reviews before booking this stay and was a little dubious that there were so many high ratings.... however, having just stayed there for two nights I can fully support why people were so charmed by it. The hosts, a mother and son team were just wonderful.... they could not do enough to make our stay pleasant and enjoyable. It all started with a free shuttle pick up from the bus station. On arrival there is a free selection coffee / tea and bottled water, also fresh fruit which is available throughout your stay..... and free freshwater refills. The accommodation lodges are well appointed for the price. There was a huge fridge in our room with "four" free bottles of water in it. TV, aircon that worked very well and a fan. Plenty of hot water in the shower and good wifi. There are numerous sitting areas around the property including hammocks that we made good use of.... a viewing platform with new outdoor beanbags to watch the sun going down over the Chiang Dao mountain. Bliss. They have a huge pond full of fish which you can feed. The setting is wonderful looking out to the mountain and hills. They can arrange any trips you require including guided trekking etc and transport at reasonable charges. We arranged to be taken to the nearby cave and the "500" steps temple then collected when we finished. We stayed two nights and both nights the family cooked a lovely dinner for us, as was breakfast with cooked eggs in the morning. In summary, a very kind, welcoming family that could not do enough for us.(Only regret is that we should have planned to stay longer). Bear in mind that the accommodation is rustic and laid back. Great value for money.
