Reviewed Mar 6, 2026We had a wonderful stay and truly enjoyed our time at the cottage. Grieta was incredibly accommodating and always willing to assist with any requests we had, which made the whole experience even more pleasant and stress-free. The cottage itself was well-equipped and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. It was clean, thoughtfully prepared. After we left, we realised that we had forgotten an item at the cottage. We arranged a courier to collect it, and Grieta kindly assisted with the process without any hesitation. It was handled smoothly and we really appreciated the extra effort and helpfulness. Overall, it was a lovely stay and we would happily return in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

Towels frayed.
