The host, Rocky, and his team were so kind, responsive and attentive. They are very communicative over WeChat in both Chinese and English. Service was excellent. The rooms were clean and comfortable, lots of hot water and good water pressure, and heating and A/C unit in the room. The shared areas are charming and lovingly decorated, great for Instragram photos! There are board games and a foosball table to keep the kids entertained. The on-site restaurant served fresh farm-to-table dishes everyday, with lots of variety for both Chinese and foreign patrons. My family was invited to pick fresh veggies at their adjoining farm, and we were able to use their bikes (with child seats and helmets) to tour the beautiful villages nearby. UNESCO villages are only 15 minutes away, so the Inn was an excellent base for leaisurely exploring. There is also a fun and quirky stone museum, a beautiful old diaolou, and a very modern bookstore converted from a granary right next to the Inn too. Rocky and his team do a lot of community outreach - preserving old buildings, employing local youth and elderly, promoting Kaiping culture and history and educating the next generation on farming techniques. The Inn plays a key role in serving and revitalising the village, with lots of historical and cultural information in English, waaaaay better than Lovely Planet. It is a comfortable and charming place to stay, and an absolute gem for solo and family travellers, and I cannot recommend TK Village highly enough!! I will definitely revisit.
