“We could not fault the accommodation, brilliant facilitates, great kitchen, sauna, clothes drying cabinet, log burner and very warm inside. The Kuukkeli apartment is well situated in Saariselka very close to the well stocked supermarket which is only a 2 min walk away, as is the bus stop. No problem in walking to the Toboggan run and Ski school with a nine year old child. We met the owner/manager by chance and he was very friendly and sorted 3 toboggans out for us. Thanks so much, we will be coming back! Traveller tips. Key pick up is in the Kuukkeli cafe within the Supermarket complex. Finnish Log burners have a chimney vent, which must be opened (pull knob fully out from the wall above the log burner) before lighting the fire and you must not close it until the fire is completely burnt out including all embers. Only then close it or you or you face the dangers of Carbon Monoxide.”

“Location, very up market residential, not overlooked, large open spaces of low forest with Christmas card views to die for. Wild Reindeer and white Snow Grouse if you look. Semi was very clean, well maintained and supported, they know about a fault before you do!. Under floor heating (fully automatic) and a wood burner if you wish, three logs will last all day, so not hard work. Stayed over Christmas and New Year 2015/16 just to play in the snow. Was as low minus 20'C (dry comfortable cold) outside come “home” to a cosy draught free luxury, sauna can be timed to be ready for your return after your hot shower (twin) of course! Then sit about in shorts & Tee shirt and enjoy hi tech whilst laundering your layers for next day, so no need for extra clothing. We, all six adults enjoyed the walk back & too into town (nice) every time and dined in very attractive polite top quality (well above UK norm) restaurants. Well done Chefs at all the places we visited. Also most importantly: to all the staff, who kept every toilet in EVERY place we visited immaculately clean. Thank you Finland From all Six Happy Brits”

It is not 5 star luxury (it is a log cabin) but it was the perfect start to our Finland holiday and we loved every moment we stayed at Polar Aurora Cabins.”
