Hyvän palvelun majatalo
Erinomainen paikka lyhyeen oleskeluun. Kelo-rivitalon huoneisto oli pieni, mutta kompakti ja siisti. Sijainti hyvä patikoijalle. Aamiainen oli perustasoa. Palvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä. Saapumisiltanani pääsin rantasaunaan, joka ilmeisesti ei normaalisti kuulu huoneen hintaan. Sauna oli upea elämys ja uimaan pääsi kivasti pitkospuita pitkin hiekkarannasta.

Upealla paikalla Pienen Karhunkierroksen varrella. Kaunis ja hiljainen alue. Rantasauna aivan mahtava ja uimaan pääsi puhtaaseen järveen. Huone pieni mutta aivan riittävä yhden yön majoitukseen. Henkilökunta oli uutta mutta tekivät parhaansa. Täydellinen paikka rauhaa arvostavalle.

Déceptions
L'établissement se proclame "dog friendly" avec une affiche à l'entrée, or rien n'est proposé dans la chambre pour le confort du chien et il nous est demandé un supplément non négligeable (30 euros). Aussi le repas buffet était très cher (35 euros par personne) pour quelques crudités, de la purée, de la viande de rennes et une crème dessert.
