adequate stay at the village

private sauna spacious cottage convenient location minimal housekeeping warm room powdery eggs
the cottage was spacious enough. it had its own sauna. i found the location convenient , because it was close to the village activities.
The cottage felt quite warm. there was no air conditioning , and opening the windows did little to cool the place down. housekeeping was minimal . They only emptied the trash and replaced towels , but they did not clean surfaces. the breakfast buffet was underwhelming , the scrambled eggs tasted powdery.

inconvenient tv location limited work surface
The free sleighs available were quite helpful for transporting the kids around. It was acceptable.
The location of the tv behind the beds was inconvenient. Adults couldn't watch it once the kids were asleep. the kitchenette lacked work surface. I had to balance the kettle next to the hob and use the dining table to prepare any meals. it seems poorly designed.

strange layout missing work surface
the layout of the cottage was acceptable, it came with necessary facilities.
The cottage was strangely laid out. The tv was behind the beds, so adults couldn't watch it when the kids were in bed, annoying. there was no work surface in the kitchenette. also, i needed to use showering towels for the sauna because there were no sauna towels. It was inconvenient.

private sauna cosy room clean room poor food expensive photo limited variety
My room, a Classic Cottage Sauna, have all the things that I need. It was so cosy and clean. The private sauna worked very well. It was amazing after a cold day outside.
The breakfast had not much variety. I thinks the hotel needs to improve it. The food quality was poor comparing with other hotels I visited. The photos with Santa are expansive.
