The building now known as Eight Blessings Inn was originally built in the year 1785 , more than 200 years ago, and was called Mao De Tang. It was a traditional two-storey home. Our goal in renovating this building was to respect the original architecture while also creating a feeling of simplicity, elegance, and warmth.Eight Blessings Inn aims to create a space in which people can experience a simple, natural, and healthy lifestyle, as well as a shift in pace that allows them to relax, recharge, and rejuvenate. The tranquility of the village and the attentive service that we offer at the Inn, enables our guests to experience the abundance of life.The Inn has nine guest rooms: six double and three twin, each with its own full bathroom. Room sizes average 25-30 square meter). Each room is named after attributes that we value: Love, Joy, Peace, Forbearance, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control. These names also represent blessings. The Inn was awarded Cultural Themed Homestay by Zhejiang Tourism Homestay Inn Federation in 2023.
"On the last weekend before school started, I took my kids to Shen'ao Ancient Town for a self-driving tour. I booked the B&B Bafu Inn recommended by a friend. The inn was renovated from a 240-year-old house. It is very beautiful and comfortable, and the sanitary conditions are also very clean. Before I went there, the inn owner, Sister Liang, added WeChat to give weather tips and various tips before check-in, which was very considerate.
It rained heavily in the evening when I arrived. The warmth brought by the floor heating of the inn hit me. Sister Liang and the staff took the initiative to deliver the luggage to our room and served hot drinks. The room was very clean. I changed into disinfected slippers before entering the house. The house was warm and beautiful, the bedding was comfortable, and the bathroom had floor heating. The breakfast on the second day was also a snack made by the aunt of the inn. Sister Liang waited for us to finish eating and introduced us in detail to various attractions around us.
The ancient town is backed by mountains and water, and the protected ancient houses are beautiful and worth visiting. The surrounding villages such as Shishe Village also have good scenery. The children had a lot of fun. There are many books in the inn. Through the casual chat during breakfast, I can see that Sister Liang is a wise and generous woman. Chatting with her, I got a lot of ideas about life and education. Next time I have time, I will take my baby there again in early summer. Looking forward to seeing you next time"
