Guest book
Mr Nicolle - Camberley (Early Dec 2007): “The cabin was amazing, much better than the pictures portray on the website! The sauna is highly understated as well on the website and really was a pleasure to come home to every day.” Mr James – Milton Keynes (Mid Dec 2007): ”Thank you for a wonderful holiday, which without your help and guidance never would have happened. It was a cherished experience that will stay with my family and I forever.” Mrs Dean - Walsall (Mid Dec 2007): “We had a great time in Lapland, and would not hesitate in recommending the log cabin we stayed in to friends and family. Kate was a great contact to have and her help and advice were very welcome. We did so many different activities that we enjoyed as a family - sledging, husky rides, reindeer sleigh, skidoos, and of course Santa Claus. Thank you so much for giving us and especially our 4 year old daughter a wonderful winter holiday. It was great - a big thumbs up!”
