Guest Reviews
- Peppi (10/5): Ihana paikka! - Ihanan viihtyisä paikka juuri sopivasti Saariston rengastien/ Velkuan reitin varrella. Oli oikein sydämellinen vastaanotto. Majoitus siisti ja viehättävä. Sain täällä reissuni parhaat unet. Suosittelen :)
- Jenni-Elina (8/5): - Aamiaista ei ollut
- Justin (10/5): A relaxing night on the Achipelago Trail! - We had a lovely stay at the Little Red School House! The hosts were very welcoming and gracious. We rented the room with the private detached bathroom. The highlight was use of their wood-heated sauna. Don't pass up the opportunity. You get to reserve a time for your own use. The hosts provided coffee and tea and a simple breakfast of fruit, oatmeal, and nuts and dried fruit. There is a restaurant nearby in town, but we picked up dinner at the grocery store before biking in. We had a microwave, portable stove burner, and dishes so it was easy to heat our dinner. The old building with high ceilings was very charming and we saw deer in the field at night and in the morning. A great place to stay! Nothing much. The Booking ad was a little confusing on which room had a private bath. The ad stated it was private and shared. It was just detached from the room, but very comfortable.
- Raffyaroundtheworld (9/5): Historical house in beautiful location - Great house with a history! Lovely location, very nice and clean room and comfy beds. Great sauna! Douglas is very friendly, we had a great chat, he was very informative and made us feel at home. The common area is well equipped. A bit pricey considering the sharing of bathroom and kitchen with another couple. A small breakfast box could be useful, since there are no shops nearby.
- martin (10/5): Extremely special stay near the end of our bicycle tour - Historical charming renovated school house in close proximity to the ferry port. Our room downstairs was lovely and the shared bathroom was no problem. The adjacent kitchenette was stocked with fruit, oatmeal cereal and snacks. To top this all was the best sauna experience and the memorable warm and engaging interaction with the hosts. Absolutely nothing
- Mika (8/5): -
- Francois (8/5): Authentic countryside stay with great sauna, but best for short visits - Beautifully renovated old log schoolhouse with lots of charm and antique décor. Owners were very welcoming and friendly. The wood-fired sauna was a great experience, and the location was peaceful and scenic. Limited privacy as the space was next to the owners’ house with only one door between. Shared facilities (one brand new shower and toilet) and a kitchenette separate from the main sink area made things a bit inconvenient. Sauna was great but no cooling swim afterward. Few dining options nearby, so a car is recommended. Price felt high for just one room compared to full cottages with lake access.
- Peter (10/5): Amazing stay at the Little Red School House - Lovely setting and room. Amazing sauna. Very friendly hosts. Nothing
- Roland (10/5): - Lovely place
- David (9/5): Superb - Super friendly hosts. Lots of space. Great shower. They also have a wonderful sauna!
- Fei (10/5): A very special stay - We are very happy with the stay at this place. It’s conveniently located on the archipelago ring trail. The place was converted from a school house and the owner still keeps most of its original taste while upgrading with the modern amenities. Unlike many other accommodations we had on the trail, all beds are already made for us when we arrived! And there are even free snacks and oatmeal packs. All amenities provided are high quality ones. We also had our first private traditional sauna which is included in the stay. The owner is also very friendly and helpful while not intruding. They also have a friendly dog, our kids had fun playing with the dog. The stairs can be challenging for some people to climb if you book the room upstairs. There is only one toilet to share between all guests.
- Nikolay (10/5): An amazing accommodation experience in the middle of a peaceful archipelago countryside - Probably the best accommodation experience in years. It was simply amazing to arrive at this place after a day of cycling and find coziness, aesthetics, and comfort in every detail, along with a sense of history in the old school building. We were able to enjoy the sauna, and everything needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Jenni and Doug have been amazing hosts and such wonderful people to meet. We hope more travelers will discover this hidden gem!
- Sarah (10/5): We felt very welcome and had a relaxed and peaceful stay. - We had a lovely welcome by the host. The property is full of character and immaculately clean and we had a very comfortable and peaceful stay.
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
- Margaret (9/5): A lovely overnight stay in a spacious room with access to a sauna and to laundry facilities. - This was a very convenient location for an overnight stop to catch the nearby ferry in the morning. The room was very spacious and having a washing machine available (with detergent) was a huge bonus. There were some basics for breakfast (even though it was a room-only booking). Welcoming hosts made the sauna ready at a convenient time. A a bonus I had the kitchen and shower room to myself as there were no other guests. The stairs to the bedroom area might be a little tricky for someone who is less able, especially as the toilet/shower room was on the ground floor, but there was another bedroom on the ground floor that could be booked.
- Thomas (10/5): Peaceful place to stay and to relax - Very nice and charming house. Beautiful decoration. Lovely hosts.
Room is spacious! Area is calm and peaceful.
Ask for the Sauna to be used - a must do when visiting !
And take time to meet the hosts and other guests - you will love it…..
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Clean, comfortable, welcoming hosts. Nothing
- Ewout (10/5): Exceptional - Location location location. On the adge of a nice old village with lot’s if nature around. Natural silence and singing burds. What more do you want? Nothing
- Leslie (9/5): Superb - Beautifully decorated and cared for. The owners’ love was evident throughout the space. All the little details were cared for on behalf of the guests. Also lovely sauna!
- Bruce (9/5): Historic building accommodation with best Finnish sauna experience yet! - The sauna experience here is excellent.
The place is quiet and peaceful and the owners have done a great job renovating around the constraints of the old school house building. The property is close to a local restaurant that has great food.
- Juho (9/5): Very nice high quality B&B. - It's a very nicely renovated old school building with charming rooms. It was super clean everywhere. Every small detail was done nicely, from bathroom supplies to kitchen necessities. The sauna is an experience and also very nicely done. I personally would have prefered proper blinds instead of the curtains, but I do understand they would not fit the style.
- Ville (10/5): Relaxed and excellent stay in a lovely, nicely renovated school house! - Everything was so perfect! Couple owning this place is so lovely and they did everything to make us feel relaxed and even changed the heating time of the sauna for us. Amazing. We really enjoyed the place and can warmly recommend this one for everybody visiting in the hoods! Nothing, absolutely nothing to blame :)
- Pulkkinen (9/5): Super cute room with lovely hosts! - Very cute and special place with lovely hosts. Sauna in the yard was wonderful after a long day of cyckling. The bed was extra comfy! Could have used a little more privacy in the downstairs room. Maybe for example a non-see-through curtain for a glass door would work nicely.
- Peeter (10/5): Exceptional - we spent a great sporting holiday on bikes, the Little Red School House was like a home base for us, from where we started our adventures every morning, well-rested. The location is excellent, we recommend it to all cyclists.
