Kensington Resort Chungju

We were at this resort for 5 days and 4 nights in May 2014. The hotel was located in quite a remote region of S.Korea. Getting to this place was not easy. We had rented a car from Avis and an English GPS to get here. It is important to note that you should be careful with the English GPS rental in Korea, the GPS we rented was prone hanging which caused us to miss a few crucial turns along the highway, my suggestion is to constantly monitor the GPS and restart it everytime it starts to hang. The drive from Incheon International Airport to the hotel took about 2 hrs plus. The resort is situated at the top of a hill with a large winding road leading up to it. There was a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room and a dining area in the resort room. We had 4 adults living in there and I felt that there were ample space. However, there is only 1 queen size bed for 2 adults and the other two had to sleep on the floor on korean bedding mattresses (kindly note). We didnt eat in the restaurant at the hotel but we saw a signage showing that they had one. There was a convenience store (C&U) for any last minute purchases that you might require. We used the resort as a base and drove around to other places of attraction in Korea (i.e. Danyang- Gosu Caves, Jeonju- Roman Catholic Cathedral; Hanok Village, Chuncheon - Namiseon Island, Chungju - Mount Songnisan) Due to its remoteness, you need to spend some time on the road to get to this places. The longest being about 3.5 hrs to Jeonju. Being from a small city state, this took some getting use to ;) Staff at this hotel was generally helpful with limited abilities in English, be prepared with some basic translations or Korean words of the places you want to go should you have any questions. bests
