The host is very friendly and responsive. The location is very good.Definitely Recommended.

This was the first place we stayed in Finland and it was a really lovely introduction to the country. It's essentially a very small holiday complex on farmland surrounded by birch forest and with a lake (and rowing boats) 15 minutes' walk away from the main house. There are two blocks of four en-suite rooms set slightly away from the farmhouse - each block with its own well equipped kitchen and seating/dining area. We were there in mid-May and were the only guests. You can also stay in the main house itself and I think there's also a cottage on the lake shore. It's about a 13 minute drive away from Savonlinna and it's about 7 minutes to the nearest big supermarket - so easy enough to get about if you have a car (not sure about public transport) but feels very rural and away from it all while you're there. Breakfast is served in the main farmhouse and is amazing. Laura, the host, does a lot of cooking and baking and it's a great opportunity to try some traditional Finnish food done well. It's a buffet with a good choice of cereals, fruit, bread, meat, fish, cheese etc plus home baked cakes. You won't go hungry. Sadly, we were there too early in the season to try out Laura's dinners so we just cooked for ourselves. Dining options are fairly limited around there although that may well be different in, say, July. We were happy to just make our own meals anyway. the bedrooms are well laid out with comfortable beds and a good shower. Everything is clean and cozy. One of the things we particularly liked about our stay was how helpful and friendly our hosts were. It was really interesting to talk to Laura and Kalle, her husband, about Finnish life and current affairs. They also helped us make some bookings and gave suggestions for hikes etc. I would really recommend this place as somewhere to stay for a few days.

Nothing at all.

Location

Everything I would imagine from my winter stay in Finland. Wonderful landscape, quiet, picturesque, saunas by the lake, wooden cabins, woodland. I will definitely come back and in fact cannot wait to come back. Staff were so friendly even though it was so cold and they did not have many other guests. Great memories from this place. I’m glad I stayed there. Thank you

Rooms are good. As we all are vegetarian..so took only coffee and croissant
