    The house is very cosy and clean. It has all the facilities you need and is in such a lovely location. Perfect place for nature watching or Aurora spotting.

    Feels very much like a home. We had a lovely time and would definitely come back. Great area with really interesting history and outstanding natural beauty. W loved the cottage and will definitely be sharing details with friends and family. The only suggestion is regarding check in and check out times. 5 pm is quite late and 9 am is really very early. I understand the need for cleaning times but these are both respectively the latest and earliest times I’ve encountered in 20 years of staying in cottages.
