Thank you Angel and Tony, we had a great time at Flower Yard. I highly recommend this place. If you want to visit the mutianyu great wall, this place is best place to stay. And if we will visit beijing and we will stay here again.

Amazing experience at Flower Yard, the best hotel we stayed in our entire stay in Beijing and surroundings. The place is a lovely quiet courtyard located near Muntianyu Great Wall (10 min car drive). Owners are arty people, very welcoming and always ready to help. English speakers which was very helpful. The rooms are comfortable, the spacious rooftop offers stunning mountain view. Perfect for a lunch, coffee break or yoga session! Breakfast was very generous, arranged at the time we wanted, we appreciate the chilled vibes of this place. Very family- friendly, the kids can easily and safely play within the courtyard. Angel provides pottery classes so the kids could bring back cups as souvenirs. The surrounding are nice, it's possible to walk along the river and there is a paved route nearby for a run that provide nice view of the mountains and the river. Angel brought us to a nearby local restaurant that provided nice (and cheap) food. that owner also had a horse and it was posssible to do some horse drawn carrier, which we didnt do but it would have been appreciated by the kids (30 min 50 yuans if i remember well). As for the Muntianyu section of the great wall, it was great: restored with amazing views + possibility to take the cable car to go up and use the slides to go down so very fun for kids. Flower Yard is the kind of place that enables people to spend a fews days around the great wall area and appreciate the countryside outside Beijing. We chose to do it after the city visits and right before our departure back home. The international beijing airport is around one hour from the place, taxi and private car can be arranged very easily and no traffic to expect in this area so very stress free. as for the distance from Flower Yard to the city, the drive took about 1h10. We loved these relaxed fews days there, it was nice to have warm service given by Angel and her husband Tony.

I loved everything

Floweryard is the ideal place if you're looking to relax and leave all worries related to your stay in Beijing behind, especially if you want to visit the Great Wall of China. This is where a wonderful family lives, who are the owners themselves, so you receive all the love and care in the world. They will take care of everything you need to make your trip a success. Tony picked us up from the airport for an additional cost, which was great because it would have been too complicated for us to get to the place on our own since we didn't have internet to communicate. Additionally, they offered us a delicious meal. Angel is literally an angel, she is a wonderful person, super special, and she helped us a lot to take photos and understand the history behind the Great Wall of China; she speaks English perfectly. Emma, her daughter, is a beautiful little doll full of energy and joy, and she brightened our days with her smile and personality. Regarding the accommodation, the rooms have super comfortable and clean beds, and the bathrooms are very nice. The place, in general, is beautifully decorated as Tony is an artist and creates incredible creations, and the family ensures that everything is clean and well-presented. On the second floor, they have a beautiful terrace for relaxation and enjoying the fresh air. The surroundings of Floweryard are super safe and tranquil; in fact, by 10 pm, there are no people on the streets. They have a café, and the coffee is delicious. If you're looking for a place where you can feel at home with the best attention and cozy atmosphere, this place is the right one. You won't regret it. We even wanted to stay longer just to have more opportunities to spend time with Tony, Angel, and Emma. On the trip we took, we visited many accommodations, and this one earns the number 1 spot of all the places we have stayed.

Nothing to complain about. Would stay here again with great pleasure 😊

The guest house is in a beautiful place around the mountains and very close to Mutianyu Great Wall. The room was immaculately clean and spacious, bed comfortable, bathroom with towels and toiletries, beautiful views of mountains from the terrace. The hosts Angel and Tony went an extra mile to make our stay comfortable, serving lovely breakfast, helping us to get to the Great Wall and going back to Beiging. They both speak good English which made our communication easy. Even their adorable daughter Emma speaks good English. Lovely place, lovely people, unforgettable experience of the Great Wall!!!

Flower Yard is a warm and comfortable homestay located on the village of the Liudu River at the Mutianyu Great Wall. The quiet and elegant atmosphere of the homestay allows you to enjoy a relaxing time. The room is clean and tidy, with a strong and natural artistic atmosphere. The boss is very enthusiastic and the service is thoughtful and meticulous, making us feel at home. The accommodation is very close to the Mutianyu Great Wall scenic area, and the boss will take the initiative to pick us up and drop us off at the scenic area. Let us want to come back and stay in a homestay next time.

The hotel is very close to the Mutianyu Great Wall. It also provides a free shuttle bus from the hotel to the Mutianyu Ticket Office and back. It’s also very close to Huaibei International Ski Resort. The breakfast is very good and has everything, including freshly ground coffee, fruits, fried eggs, bread, jam. The hotel staff all speak English. In winter, the room has floor heating, which is very warm. The bed is very comfortable. We stayed at the second floor which has a large terrace with beautiful mountain views!

The experience of staying at this homestay is very good. I am a French resident in China and have been living there for a long time. The environment here is very good, clean and tidy. The location is also very convenient. I went to visit the Mutianyu Great Wall and the host provided free transportation. Next time I come to visit, I will stay at this homestay

This place was cozy, clean, and spacious enough. Angel and staff were amazing and helpful. A little far from the city, but very close to the Great Wall Mutianyu Entrance. They also have free shuttle to the Great Wall Entrance. Angel is super helpful with information on other must see sights in Beijing. Flower Yard is perfect for a 1-2 day trip outside the city.

We only had one short night here but were blown away by the hospitality of the owners, Angel and Tony. They went out of their way to accommodate us. Their property is clean, well appointed, and the rooms are large. We rented out both rooms and the owners went out of their way to arrange a private guide to the Great Wall early the next morning as well as transfers to and from the airport. We saw the sun rise over the Great Wall which was majestic. I cannot recommend this place enough and I will be back!

My wife and I were visiting Beijing and were a little nervous about taking a group tour of the Great Wall. We had read about tourists being pressured to buy things or bus stops involving tea ceremonies that waste half the day. Fortunately we read the reviews for the Flower Yard and followed the advice. This is a small hotel on the outskirts of the Beijing, literally a stones throw from the wall itself. They have their own private shuttle service. The owners welcomed us warmly which was much appreciated. They have a daughter about 4 or 5yrs old named Beth. Beth was the life of the party. I think my wife enjoyed her as much as the visit to the Great Wall. The food was good and it didn’t matter that we don’t speak Mandarin as the menu had a photo besides everything we ordered. The atmosphere was quiet and friendly. Luckily English was spoken at the hotel which really surprised us considering the Flower Yard isn’t a major hotel in the big city. Our room had Oriental furniture and we later learned Tony the owner, was a local artist and had painted the pictures on the wall. The bed had a thin mattress on a firm board. I’ve never slept on one before and can honestly say I got a great nights sleep.

What’s not to like!

While in Beijing a few years back I stumbled on this family owned hotel. It was my pleasure to make a return stay this week. Originally I was eager to see the Great Wall without the w of large crowds and endless shopping stops. The Flower Yard’s location is perfect for that. Located just 10 minutes from the Wall at Mutianyu they offer free shuttle service for their guests. The hotel itself is owed by a young, hands on couple named Tony and his wife, Angel. Angel speaks English which made everything easier. She is also happy to assist guests with telephone calls if needed. Both she and Tony not only run the day to day operation but they make it their business to see that their guests are taken care of. On the morning I first visited the Wall Tony dove me there. He then walked with me to the one and only counter that sells tickets that include the slide. It’s location was not obvious and as I don’t speak Chinese I would have surely missed it. He was also waiting patiently at our agreed upon time, when I returned. In my experience that type of service is very rare! On this trip I had a single room with a double bed. It was tastefully decorated with traditional Chinese furnishings and had a private bathroom and shower. It also had a western toilet which can not always be taken for granted in smaller Chinese hotels. The WiFi was free and worked perfectly throughout my stay. The breakfast was hot, delicious and local. Local meaning, they served eggs (with the shell!) They have a small courtyard where you can enjoy Starbucks-like lattes with cakes and other snacks. Angel also offers workshops if you’re interested in learning how to make “all things Chinese”. All in all, if your goal is to visit the Great Wall of China with free transportation to and from the Wall, without shopping stops and then relax in a welcoming local atmosphere, the Flower Yard is your hotel!

The Flower Yard is the perfect place to stay when visiting the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Angel is an amazing host and speaks nearly perfect English. She is extremely helpful and friendly. She drove us to the entrance of the wall, bought our tickets and walked us all the way to the shuttle bus, then picked us up when we were done. She took us to a great restaurant across the road that night and helped us order food. She even booked our tickets for the Forbidden City in Beijing before we left. Angel is simply the best. Now about the room - it is lovely. It's decorated to be colourful and traditional. The bed is king sized and comfortable. The AC unit works great for cold and heat. There is an attached private bathroom that is fine - hot water, towels, etc. Nothing special but does the trick. She made us breakfast in the morning - eggs, toast, fried bread, jams, fruits. Overall I cannot recommend Flower Yard enough.

Rooms were great and clean. Service was great as the owner is always on the property. Real country atmosphere in a modern "hutong"! Lakes nearby as well as the Great Wall. Good central position for exploring. Lovely breakfast in the morning and GOOD coffee! Definitely recommend and will be returning.
