We were not able to stay as I never received instruction on where and what is our accommodation. And you don’t have anybody to attend to your guest in cases like mine when you missed sending me the email.

The cottage was a perfect spot to stay just outside Vik. We spent 2 days on the South Coast and although we had a very short visit, the cottage was comfortable, clean and quiet.

We got into our cabin with ease with the door code provided. Our cabin was hot inside so we tried to open doors and windows to learn that only one window would open. All of the other windows had had their handles removed to open and/or were screwed shut from the outside. We later found that this may be because our windows would leak during the rain. So I would not leave anything on the floor that would absorb water, our belongings were soaked by morning. We had requested 2 twin beds but this was not honored, which totally happens. The room was very clean. We would have loved to have a curtain on the front door window as one of the beds was visible through this. The outlets are on the floor in the kitchen so be prepared if you are not mobile. The shower did switch between hot and cold frequently and was startling. The drain was also very slow so you had to watch to make sure the base of the shower wasn't getting too full. By far our biggest complaint was that there was a turndown service without us knowing. Typically, when staying at locations like this the host does not come in daily. Especially when we were only staying for 2 nights. This would have just been nice to know before leaving some of our belongings here. The area was beautiful and gave us the chance to catch a little bit of the northern lights. Cell phone service was not great and there is no wifi so just be prepared! I would stay here again despite the few negatives!

Kitchen had great options but we didn't use them. Location was nice, good amount of space in cabin. The bathroom and bedroom doors close tough. The shower was scalding hot and wouldnt seem to adjust cooler. I would stay again!

The only issue was checking in. I didn’t have my code which was supposed to be emailed to me or the cottage number. That caused me a lot of stress because we were almost late arriving.

The cottage is located in a very quiet and peaceful area among other cottages, which we appreciated. Check-in was generally easy, and the instructions with the entry code were sent in advance. However, there was some miscommunication during arrival. I arrived around 3:30 PM (check-in was at 4:00 PM) and spoke with someone at the main house, which seems to function like a reception. (Or at least I thought bc it had signs and said ‘Reception’. I asked if I could check in early or drop off my bags and he said if I had the email with the code, then I could. Perhaps this was the miscommunication and he may have thought I was asking how to get in? Moments later, a teenager from another house on the property came out and rather aggressively told us that the cottage wasn’t ready and we couldn’t enter, so we left immediately and returned later that evening after dinner. That night, we encountered an issue with the shower: the water temperature fluctuated dramatically from scalding hot to cold within seconds. My husband was even burned on the shoulder by the hot water. I contacted the host right away, but unfortunately, I never received a response — even a week later. I even sent a message to advise that the bathroom hand soap bottle was empty and no response either. There were also multiple flies trapped inside the cottage when we arrived too. Overall, the location is quiet and has potential, but the communication, cleanliness, and maintenance left a lot to be desired.

The landlady or other manager did NOT appreciate me calling for check in instructions as per their first email. They eventually do email you a cottage and a door code. The cottage I had (#105) does have a hot plate, toaster, plates, cups -- but the outlets are all on the floor. The shower is very hit and miss - pulses cold, then warm. It is easy to accidentally scald yourself. Oh, we also ran out of toilet paper as well. You do overlook a pretty hillside, though.

This time is much better than first time. Two days ago we lived in the same location with bad experience.

Te cottage has been updated and is okay for one night. The electrical outlets are on the floor making it pretty difficult to make coffee or use the toaster. I had to put things on the floor and then put them up on the counter. Not sure if I would stay again or not.

It is a clean and comfortable place with a kitchen which is very convenient. The view is nice too. There was enough hot water for all of us (4 in all) to have showers. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Clean and in an amazing position, but that's where thd positives end. When you pay a high price for something you expect quality in return. I could overlook the issues at half the price charged, but..... Faulty (and dangerously unpredictable) shower, bathroom door that doesn’t shut, no accessible sockets to plug the kitchen electricals into - there's more, but you get the picture. No obvious way to communicate with anyone to fix the problems either. Disappointing and not to be recommended.

A beautiful well equipped cottage in a stunning location. It was clean, easy to get into and the view of the mountains was breathtaking. 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids) stayed there and it was small but well laid out so we felt like we had a good amount of space. The kitchen had everything we needed and it was nice to have coffee, tea and sugar (many places we stayed at on the trip didn’t so this was great to see). We would certainly stay here again and highly recommend this accommodation.
