General: Beautiful architecture, with great service and amazing food. Hotel provided a free transport to and from the Mutianyu Great Wall. Highly recommended to walk along the Great Wall and to sit the toboggan down. For those who enjoy hiking they should try hiking up from Bei Gou village where the Brickyard Retreat is located to the beginning of the Jiankou part of the Great Wall. Service: The concierge and the restaurant staff were all very friendly and eager to serve. They created a very warm and comfortable environment for our stay. Food: We were amazed by the breakfast every day, which served both western and Chinese staples. All the ingredients were fresh and the cooking was excellent. Special mention to the wedges, hash browns and sweet potato fries that were nicely crisp on the outside whilst being moist on the inside. They served freshly cooked traditional dumplings and Rou Jia Mo as well as fresh handmade Chinese paos, and they were all excellent. These are just some examples. Room: We stayed in the Stone Forest villa and the rooms were comfortable. Heating worked well and there was also a fireplace. Especially loved the architecture.

A bit overpriced, a one time only experience.

Great location, close to the wall, about one hour hike uphill to the wall it is possible to go in the wild wall and explore. Also a small taxi or bus ride to the oficial Mutianyu wall entrance. Great facilities and excellent food in the restaurant.

We had a great stay at Brickyard! The whole terrain is rustic but beautifully designed with a view on Mutianyu Great Wall. We loved the cute breakfast buffet (some warm vegetables/eggs/meat, salad, fruit, yoghurt/cereals, bread/jam). The rooms and amenities were all clean. It was handy to have come by car, but you can also walk to the valley station of Mutianyu from where you have to take a shuttle bus. There are several restaurants and simple small shops within 1km from the hotel. Staff was super friendly, helpful and English speaking. Perfect location for a little getaway from Beijing.

Th fire place in the bedroom did not work in the Mumanyu villa. All the smoke blew back into the room and there was smoke everywhere because of it.

The facilities were great and very cute. We enjoyed the hot tub, fireplace in the living room and the location in general. Breakfast was given to us in a basket. However, it would be nice to be able to go to the restaurant and enjoy a hot breakfast.

Breakfast was very simple and too much bread, based on my previous stays expected more options, some construction work nearby but not too disruptive

Very large space with good outdoor area. Very safe and close to Mutianyu. Lots of local restaurants around with good food, Easy to get taxis to other areas if needed

I would have liked some more facilities for children. When asking a staff member about children playground (mentioned in the description) we were just pointed to the garden/courtyard which only has a grass area and some chairs. There is also a "hot spring" outside bath but it looked a bit dirty. I still recommend it for families since it's very easy to get to the wall where children can have fun on the slide.

Very beautiful space, nicely decorated, great location close to the Mutianuy section of the Great Wall. It is really amazing to have the view on the mountain from the rooms. The Sansa restaurant (located just outside of the hotel) is delicious.

A lot of things in the Stone Forest house were broken. Many of the screens, windows and doors need to be fixed. The kitchen is very small. The main living area; you can smell the bathroom most of the time. It stinks. The weekend we went was very cold but we were not allowed to have a fire. I've stayed at a few other houses at Brickyard that were great, but not this one.

The village was quiet. The house was easy to get to. It was right next to a system of trails that were fun to hike each day. The carry-away breakfast basket was good. The air conditioners/heaters work very well. Check-in and out are easy and efficient. Staff is helpful if you need anything. Nice courtyard and cute little lawn area. Bedrooms were cozy and the internet worked well.

we were there for a relaxing holiday and there were several families with small kids that were allowed to run around screaming loudly throughout breakfast and dinner.

staff was great
