Kensington Resort Chungju

📍 Chungju · 3 stars · ★ 3.8 (113 reviews)

Kensington Resort Chungju Exterior

Kensington Resort Chungju is a pet-friendly resort tucked deep in the mountains. Most reviews come from people who visited with their dog, and what they praise most is not having to feel self-conscious about bringing one.

Several reviews describe the quiet of the mountains and waking to birdsong. On the other hand, they also note that the building itself shows its age, so it suits a trip that values the setting and the care taken for pets over brand-new facilities.

What guests like

  • Thoughtful touches for dogs

    Reviews repeatedly mention separate elevators and floors, leash hooks, waste bags and supplies, and even dog amenities.

  • Quiet in the mountains

    A line common to many reviews is that the mountain setting is secluded and good for a quiet rest.

  • Friendly service

    Reviews are unusually full of praise for the attitude of the front desk and the staff, and some were glad of services such as massager rentals.

  • Renovated rooms

    Reviews say the renovated rooms were in excellent condition for cleanliness and that the bedding had been properly changed.

  • Sunset and night sky

    Reviews mention that the high setting makes the stars easy to see at night and that the evening sunsets were beautiful.

  • Outdoor self-serve barbecue

    An outdoor self-serve barbecue runs by advance reservation in split evening time slots, and some reviews enjoyed it with their dog.

Good to know

  • Dated facilities

    Reviews steadily point out peeling paint and spots needing repair around the veranda and the front door, and many say the place is due for a refurbishment.

  • Central heating

    One review says the floor was cold on a chilly day and the only answer given was that the central heating cannot be adjusted room by room.

  • Pet odor

    With so many pet-only rooms, a few reviews mention a dog smell or say the odor in the elevator was a letdown.

Recommended for

  • Two days and one night with your dog
  • A quiet rest in the mountains
  • Chungju hot spring trip

Kensington Resort Chungju Rooms
Rooms · Photo: MyRealTrip

Rooms are a mix of ondol floor-heated and bed types assigned at check-in, and impressions differ sharply between renovated and un-renovated rooms. Some reviews praise the large refrigerator and the solid internet, while others mention low ceilings and visible spots needing repair, so it is worth checking whether the room has been renovated when you book.

Set high on the mountainside, it looks out mostly onto forest. Reviews describe waking to birdsong, sunsets in the evening, and stars at night, so sitting by the window doing nothing is close to the whole point of this place.

Kensington Resort Chungju Breakfast & dining
Breakfast & dining · Photo: MyRealTrip

Breakfast is served at the ground-floor restaurant, alternating between haejangguk (hangover soup) and a buffet depending on the day, by advance reservation. Reviews are split between calling breakfast plain and finding it better than expected, so booking the outdoor barbecue or bringing your own food may be the easier choice.

There is a convenience store on the first basement level, handy for anything you urgently need, though reviews note it is not open 24 hours, so check the times. Some say the microwave on every floor was convenient, while others found the pool floor slippery and the upkeep disappointing.

A pet park where dogs can run off-leash sits in front of the resort, so parking underground is the better option. Reviews liked the walking course that leads up the hill behind, making it a good loop with your dog morning and evening.

Location & nearby

Being deep in the mountains keeps the surroundings quiet, but there are not many restaurants or shops within walking distance. Reviews warn it can catch you out if you have not brought food, so it is better to plan a route with a grocery stop on the way in.

Several reviews enjoyed trips to the nearby Neungam and Angseong hot springs, so a soak slots easily into a day's plan. Others note that local attractions are close by, making an easy overnight, two-day trip entirely doable.

You can drag the map to pan, and zoom in or out.

  • 애견에 특화되어있는 리조트 애견동반에 너무 좋은 경험 부대시설은 별게없으나 주변 관광지가 가깝워서 좋음

  • 가족여행으로 추석에 지냈던 숙소인데 아쉬움이 많이 남는 숙소입니다 객실은 리뉴얼 되기 전 객실이 안 좋다는 후기가 워낙 많아서 예전 들어서 어느 정도 감안하고 가서 생각했던 대로였는데 아쉬웠던 부분은 난방이었습니다 추석 연휴에 비가 와서 저녁에 계속 추워서 난방 시간을 물어보니까 1층 직원분이 저녁 12시부터 킨다고 해서 기다리다 대기하고 추워서 12시 조금 넘어서 다시 전화해서 물어보니 10시 정도에 난방을 돌리셨다고 하는데 바닥은 너무 차갑다고하니 점검팀에서 한번 올라와 보신다고 하시는데 시간이 너무 늦은 시간이다 보니…

  • 강아지 동반 가족여행 다녀왔어요. 거리도 가깝고 부담없이 1박2일 놀기에 좋아요. 바베큐 세트 및 조식도 이용했는데 강아지랑 함께할 수 있어서 즐거운 시간이었어요. 다시 방문하고 싶어요.

  • 조용하고 쾐적합니다 그리나. 리조트 관리는 영 꽝입니다 시설물과 주변 환경 이 보수나 관리를 전혀 하지 않는것 같아 아타깝습니다. 베란다에 석회화 현상으로 동굴도 아닌데.. 농이 뚝뚝
