Only issue was the mattress. Could not sleep on it and ended up very tired and with bad backs.

Skovarel is spotlessly clean, well equipped and feels like home from the minute you walk through the door. It is easy to access as you arrive at the site and the hot tub and sauna are quiet and private, with a lovely view of the forest.
