Reviews
All around you is the dark sky for endless, and you can use the hot pot and the sunna room for a rest.
They don’t offer breakfast, but they will offer you free coffee and milk and biscuits.
They even have a shared hot tub and sauna! 👍 You can cook in the village house, but it's not as spacious as a guesthouse.
The breakfast selection was very extensive!
Easy check in. The property is 5 minutes from town on a beach area, so there nothing around. We loved it. The cottage was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable EXCEPT the pillows which were triable- flat and old- NEED NEW Pillows!! Also recommend to have a mat by the front door and kitchen towel.
We enjoyed our stay for one night and definitely will recommend this glance. Breakfast was good as well. There a hot tub, dry sauna and small relaxation room. We used it and enjoyed it!
