I am a frequent traveler who loves Sokcho, and I was truly satisfied with this accommodation. When I travel to Gangwon-do, I usually book a room in Sokcho and travel to Goseong or Gangneung, so I wonder why I only discovered this place now. Haha.
The room is located on the second floor, and it was well-equipped with all the necessary travel items, making my stay very comfortable. There was a private cafe space with a view of the scenery and a terrace overlooking the sea, which was great for reading a book while enjoying a cup of coffee. Above all, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the bedding was so cozy that I slept like a baby.
I almost asked where they were from! Haha.
When I travel, I also look for places where I can exercise nearby, and since Yeongnangho Lake is right in front of the accommodation, it was perfect for running. One lap is about 7.5km, and the scenery is beautiful, so I felt great the whole time I was running. The bike path is also well-maintained.
Running by the sea was also great; I could just walk straight from the accommodation towards Jangsa-dong. Haha.
The sea is only about a 10-second walk away, and Yeonggeumjeong is about 10 minutes away, so it was great for watching the waves. Abai Village, downtown Sokcho, and Jungang Market are all within walking distance. Buying groceries at the market and enjoying them on the terrace while taking in the view made me feel like I didn't envy any campsite. I also went out at dawn to watch the sunrise, and it was truly magnificent. Definitely a sunrise hotspot! Haha.
Having a washing machine and dryer made the entire trip comfortable, and there is a convenience store very close by. There are places to visit and great restaurants nearby, such as Museum X and Ichibara Ramen. If you are traveling with children, the nearby Jangsa-dong Sea Fishing Spot would be a great option.
This time, I went trekking to Hwaamsa Temple and visited Cheoksan Foot Bath Park and the hot springs. Even though I traveled alone, I had a truly fulfilling time.
I ate well, played well, and rested well. It is a place I would love to stay at again if I visit Sokcho next time.
I'll be back to eat ramen on the terrace again! Haha.
