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.
