Modern, impressive building - looks like a James Bond villains lair. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Excellent breakfast with lots of different options. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was good quality. No milk was provided in the room for teas and coffee.

Absolutely fantastic. The views from the property were stunning, and that's not even considering the northern lights, which we were lucky enough to see as well. The property is well-maintained, comfortable, aesthetically pleasing. Wish we were still there :)

Spacious room & quality food at Elderly restaurant. Perfect ! Outdoor areas & car wind screen changed to white due to unpredictable first snow with strong wind in late September. Guests should pay more attention on road safety & sudden weather change.
