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.

My husband and I stayed with Mary Ann for two nights and were very happy with our experience. The first floor room was comfortable, had a private bath right next door and included a table area for eating. Mary Ann prepared wonderful healthy breakfasts and placed them in the small fridge in the room so each morning you could enjoy coffee and your meal in private. I would definitely recommend her B & B to family and friends!
