Very friendly staff, nice kitchen and communal space where people came together. They provided a hat soup every night for any guest to take some. What a lovely idea!

“Amazing basic accomodation with great vibe”
Amazing property and it was just as we expected The facilities are amazing with a huge communal kitchen, TV room and a cozy sofa near the fireplace. The room is basic but exactly what we expected. It also had a sauna which we did not use.
