Great spot for families
We stayed in a family room with a double bed and two twin beds which worked great for our family of four. The property has a nice playground which my kids really enjoyed. They also have a social room with pool table, football table, couches and tv/dvd collection. The staff were very helpful and they have coffee, tea and hot chocolate readily available for guests.

8/10 Very good

We booked this place since it is located in a remote area, away from light pollution. We saw aurora borealis both nights, and it was great. :) Just to set your expectations - the hotel is basically more like a farm, with the central building where you have common facilities (the free coffee is great) and then there are barracks around it - our room was in one of those. We got into the room with the code the hotel sent us - you should type it on a keypad which is on the door handle. Very convenient! The room was small but nice & clean. Very important to mention is that there is little to none isolation, so although the heating was on maximum, the room was so cold we slept fully dressed. The next day we accidentally found an additional small electric heater somewhere outside, so we brought that in. Ideally I'd imagine that someone would check the temperature when they set up the room and get that heater preventively in.

We loved our experience here. This was located in a remote farm that provided peace and solitude. The facilities were extremely well maintained.

Very friendly staff. Shared bathrooms have enough room to provide a cubby for each room. Would be good option to provide so we aren’t carrying toiletries back and forth.

The hotel is a farm stay in a very quiet countryside. They provide earplugs in case you are a light sleeper and the neighing horses bother your sleep at night. The room and attached bath were clean and spacious. No amenities like a coffee machine but they provide free coffee at the restaurant!

This property is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! My morning view was breathtaking. The staff was very friendly. We arrived late and they left a note at the reception door with instructions just for us which made our check in smoother. Room neat and clean as well as the bathroom. I will definitively book this one again.
