This beautiful chalet was a perfect addition to our romantic getaway in Lapland. The chalet was equipped with everything needed for our stay. The beds were very comfortable and distance beautiful chalets was perfect giving enough space for privacy. The breakfast area was great as well. We never eat at the restaurant due to bringing our own food in. The customer service provided by the bar was excellent and they make a great hot chocolate.

Our first trip to Lapland and this was a fantastic place to stay. The food in the restaurant was a little repetitive but was of very good quality so it was not an issue. Really good spot for sledging and it is out of the way just enough but still close enough for a short cab ride to the town in Rovaniemi.

We stayed for 3 nights over new year and had a fabulous time. This was our second visit to Lapland, we love it! Check in was very poor, we arrived around lunch time and check in is at 4, the lady said our room wasn’t ready but to return in a couple of hours and it might be, if so we could check in early. We did this but someone else was on reception by this point and he made everyone wait until 3.30-4 to check in despite the room keys all being lined up behind him. When we only had a short space of time there we wanted to get in the room and get wrapped up in all our layers and out into the snow asap! We stayed in chalet 74 which was next to the lake, it was perfect, lots of space, very warm, comfy beds. There is a lovely area next to the lake, this is a sauna and is an extra cost, we didn’t use it but there is a little cabin which sells drinks, a teepee with a fire lit and an inside seating area which looked over the lake. We enjoyed sitting here with a drink. Breakfast was good. We only ate off the snack menu once, very limited menu but burger was good. Buffet dinner was very expensive and was going to cost £150 for 2 adults and 2 kids so we decided against this. We got taxi’s into Rovaniemi and to Santa Claus village, very easy via an app. Roughly 10mins to Rovaniemi and 15 to SCV. It was very cold when we were there and even the locals were struggling with -35 the day we left. Foot and hand warmers are a must. We had frozen hair and eyelashes! We were in the middle of nowhere last time so it was good to be closer to amenities this time. Snowman World was much better than we expected, SCV very expensive in general. We did all the usual activities on our previous trip on a much less commercial basis so didn’t need to do any of this at SCV. Ranua Zoo was a nice day out, the main animals weren’t out but they are very focussed on animal welfare. I would visit Lapland every year if I could!!

“Clean, warm. Not suitable for infants”

The accommodation is clean and warm. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage as a family of 5 including 1 infant.

The accommodation is clean and warm. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage as a family of 5 including 1 infant. The stairs are extremely steep to the first floor and I didn’t trust my 8 & 6 year old to sleep up there as my little boy fell down within minutes of arriving. We had no cot in the room when we arrived for our 10 month old. We headed down tor reception to request one to which I was told we would have to wait until tomorrow! I couldn’t believe it. I spent the first night after an extremely early start sleeping with our baby in the bed. I was really disappointed and for the money we paid (7.5k for 3 nights) I would expect better. Food was edible but nothing special. Regardless of this rovaniemi and Lapland itself is absolutely magical and we still had an amazing time. I would be extremely wary of booking this accommodation though if you are travelling with infants.
