10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2026
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable, and the location was very convenient for exploring the area. The guesthouse has a lovely atmosphere and plenty of character. We were also lucky enough to see the Northern Lights during our stay, which made the whole experience even more special and memorable.
Nothing in particular – we had a very pleasant stay.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
Unique building that looks like a Wes Anderson set including historic props on a beautiful property. Staff was very friendly and suggested great restaurants and baths nearby.
Room was a bit small and stuffy at night - couldn’t open window because of biting midges.
