Sweet and comfy

We had a great few days at Arctic Paradise. Mary Anne was super helpful. She recommended (and even made the booking for us) a fabulous boat trip that was the highlight of our visit. She kept our room tidy and made delicious breakfasts.

Not a traditional B@B

It was in a great location. Very small room and cold breakfast put in your fridge. You eat in your room rather than in a central dining area. You basically only rent a room. You do not have use of the kitchen or living areas. Host was very friendly.

If you are looking for an outstanding location, then look no further! We were a family of 8 adults and 5 children who were 6 years old and under. This was the perfect house! With 3 floors of living and sleeping space, we could all spread out and enjoy ourselves. Then add in rooftop fires at night… We had an amazing time! Jon, the owner, was very attentive and helpful! We highly recommend and would definitely book this location again!
