    I would have loved some spices available for cooking but that is just me being very nit-picky.

    The views from the many windows in the room were absolutely incredible! We loved the greeter cat and the cabin-like feel. The horses were wonderful to watch out the windows and the customer service was incredible! We felt right at home!

    This is a dream. :) Lovely guesthouse and horse farm with spacious and cozy cottages. I wish we would stay longer. It is all furnitured and decorated with love, the cottages has windows all around so you have a beautiful view everywhere you look. Horses behind the windows make it even more romantic. The bed are very comfy, the kitchen is fully equiped, there is really all you need even for a long stay. We loved it.

    The wi-fi connection almost not existant. Had to go to hotel building for good signal.

    Nicely furnished bungalow. Good beds. Surrounded by nature, and good spacing between adjacent units. Extremely pleasant and gentle personnel.

    Such a beautiful property on a hillside. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here. The room was cozy, comfortable, stunning views, and two welcoming cats also made our stay memorable.

    Excellent location with great views. Breakfast is 1000% worth it, it’s delicious and we loved it so much we had to come back. The staff was friendly and made themselves available to us. The stable cats were friendly as well, 10/10 would recommend.

    I wish people would turn off their lights at night. We saw the northern lights but one of the cottages kept their outside lights on - maybe suggest to people to turn off the lights at night.

    Very beautiful and well maintained. Owners friendly. Beds comfortable. Coffee in the rooms.

    It’s a little off the beaten track but the horses make up for it. Make sure to buy enough food beforehand because there is no shop nearby.

    Lovely cabins on a small hill. Well equipped for our short stay. The employees were awesome. Breakfast and dinner were quite nice as well.

    We were a bit disappointed by a few things that were not matching the price tag: in the bathroom the shower head was super-old and was leaking from all sides + at the base. Also, the hot water isn’t consistent (constant wave of either too warm / too cold). And finally, even if there is no full housekeeping, simply emptying the bins would be nice, especially for guests staying more than a couple of nights. These are simple things and would make a real difference in our opinions

    Wonderful location, kind and helpful staff, very good breakfast (and bread!!)

    Either a short stop on the road or a stay as starting point for excursions. A hidden gem. More family home than hotel, staff was very nice and helpful, breakfast beat everything else we experienced on the trip, great coffee (a decent plus!) and the dinner provided showed the excellent cooking skills. Go for the dessert as well! Hot tub available.

    Cramped apartment for a family of 5. Kitchenette was basic with a tiny bench and only one cooktop which made it difficult to cook a meal. Tiny bathroom. Pictures of the 1 room apartments showed huge windows but our 2 bedroom apartment had smaller windows so not as good at looking for northern lights from inside.

    Quiet and peaceful farm. Beautifully dark for seeing the stars. Horses all around. Very friendly and helpful staff. Modern and clean amenities. Cosy and warm. Great location.

    It's a little far from anything touristy but very isolated to try and see northern lights on your own

    The place is very nice, nice breakfast and the staff is super friendly.
