Chris is a very friendly and funny guy. Great atmosphere and giving a great welcome feeling. Full of stories and jokes!
Good homey British food - dinner and breakfast. His home smoked salmon got full marks!
Huge room, very clean and quiet.
Highly recommended for Japanese and gaijin travellers.

Wonderful hotel with a delightful owner and manager. Warm and cozy bar-restaurant with great full-course meals, a nice deck to soak in the sun, and walkable (20 min) to the terrace and forest reserve. Beautiful location in autumn.

Easy parking on sight, fresh eggs taken straight from the chickens at the hotel, Chris is an amazing host and cook. My wife and I loved every moment there, we would easily stay again if we go back to Karuizawa.

Hotel Wellies is a great find in Karuizawa! Everything about our stay was outstanding- the room was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated; the full English breakfast was delicious (kids got to pick the eggs at the chicken coop in the morning); the location was great, close to Hoshino area with onsens; Chris, the owner, was so nice, welcoming and helpful. The inn dog, Freddie, totally won our heart ❤️ I highly recommend Hotel Wellies!!

We stayed for a long weekend at Hotel Wellies and it was exceptional. Chris and Judy made us feel at home from the first moment, and Freddie (the dog) was always around to great us!
The food was excellent and served with a lovely view, and as an added bonus we got to help Chris collect the eggs for our full English!
Chris was kind enough to give us rides to several places and thus avoid a lot of rain as well. Though the walk from the station is pleasant and not long if you need to do it.
Our stay was exceptional and we'll definitely be back to visit Chris and all the staff again.
Highly recommended!

My friends and I stayed here for one night. It was TOTALLY LOVELY. Very nice staffs, gentle and friendly dog. The owner, Chris and manager Judy were so friendly and lovely too. Big hug from Tokyo, MJ Kim. I just want to stay here as long as I can. It‘s like I‘m in another country. My friends loved here SO MUCH and they all want to come back here with their friends.
To make a long story short, Highly recommend!

Chris, the owner was awesome. We were birdwatching and he took us out in his own car to areas he knew about that he didn't. Super nice person. Breakfast was also great and he made a special additional order of scrambled eggs for my son. He definitely went the extra mile - literally!

Great hotel and everything’s comfortable

Everything’s great except that and will for sure pick again if visit again

I stayed for 2 nights at Hotel Wellies in Dec 2019. Hotel is located few minutes drive from Naka Karuizawa station, pick up and drop off to the station were offered by the hotel. The area is very quiet, perfect for good night sleep.
The room’s very spacious (much bigger than average hotel in Japan), super clean and comfortable with the charm of English countryside. You can sit by the fireplace with tea and cookies during snowy winter night, bliss. Delicious breakfast and very filling. Impeccable service from Chris and the team. Chris took me and other guests to see beautiful Christmas lights around the area. He also picked me up when I got stranded.
I would definitely recommend Hotel Wellies if you’re staying in Karuizawa.

I very much enjoyed our stay at the hotel. If you wanted to experience a British style culture and atmosphere, this is it. It was a special experience. Room was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. Meals were excellent and the staffs were also fairly kind. I would like to definitely visit this hotel again. Strongly recommended!

We stayed four nights at the Wellies during the summer. It was superb! The room is spacious and comfortable. The English breakfast and smoked fish breakfast are delicious. Hotel grounds and garden are clean and nicely manicured. We especially love the living room that is cozy and full of character. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the design and even choice of every piece of furniture. The hotel is tucked away in one of the side streets - quiet and tranquil - without being too far from the train station. The owner Chris and staff are just wonderful. He picked us up from the Karuizawa station and we were also able to tag along for rides to various places throughout our trip. He also makes the best dining recommendations. Trust him on yakitori restaurants; he knows his stuff! Hotel Wellies is a wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend it!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. I am an American living in Tokyo and was attracted to this lace because it seemed a little different. Exceeded all expectations! Our room was spacious and beautiful, and the common-room/lounge was warm and welcoming. Breakfast happened to be included in our reservation and it was delicious. After spending the day hiking we were able to unwind with drinks and great conversation with guests and staff. Outstanding service, friendly service. I can go on and on but I already this review is too long.

最高のホスピタリティ!
オーナーのクリスさん、スタッフのジュディさん、そして看板犬のフレディ君、皆さん暖かく迎えてくださり、犬好きの娘もイギリス好きの私も大満足でした。ディナーもブレックファストもイギリス風でヨークシャープディングやブラッドプディングなど他では味わえない本格的なお料理に感動しました。
お部屋は壁紙や調度品のセンスが良く快適でした。また是非訪れたいです。
Thank you Chris, Judy and Freddie for wonderful and heart felt hospitality. Definitely recommend to my friends and will comeback!

Hotel Wellies is great place to stay. My husband and I spent three nights here in June, 2019 and had a wonderful experience. Chris was a warm, funny, attentive host who made us feel right at home. From the moment we were picked up at the Karuizawa train station, to our check-in with Judy - who is full of smiles and laughs - to our delicious requested vegetarian dinners, we felt very well-cared for. And we can't forget Freddie - the large and gentle poodle that loves his perch in the lobby. The hotel itself is well-situated and offers all the amenities needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
