There are sleds left for use by the cabin and there is lots of area to play in the snow outside. You could even let the kids play while watching from your front window.
For two nights, the one room cabin was perfect as we spent the entire day outside on activities and we were pretty exhausted at night. If we had been staying for a longer period of time, I would have rather had a bit more space to put the kids to bed before us but that is just personal preference.
Even without the fire, the cabin was very warm. The hallway with drying cabinet was essential to help us keep our piles of winter gear separate from the living area. The sauna was a great feature for my husband who enjoyed it both nights.
The bathroom is very basic but functional. The shower is an open plan with no doors so EVERYTHING gets wet in there when you are showering so be warned.
Our cabin was quite a walk from the hotel lobby (where breakfast and dinner was served). Walking to the hotel wasn't too difficult as it was mostly downhill but walking back while dragging 2 small children was a bit of a slog. It was only a few days so we all managed but I would have loved to have stayed in the closer cabins.
The food was included in our tour and it left a lot to be desired but we had very low expectations with regard to the food having read reviews ahead of time. I would suggest bringing snacks if you can fit in your luggage since the shop was never open when we were at the hotel.
We had our own cabin in the forest with kitchen, fireplace and sauna.
Wood was supplied daily. The restaurant was very nice. Very big breakfasts and good choices for dinner. Try the house-special; reindeer on a hotplate. hmm. mouthwatering. Possibilities to ski, just behind the hotel, and excursions right on the doorstep. One warning it was minus 35' celsius !!! Have fun there !!
botched welcome meeting (3 hours late due to weather conditions) dumped at night with our suitcases and our large bags of warm items without anyone to guide us (signs hidden by the fallen snow). Some did not find the Kelo restaurant and had to pay for another meal. No entertainment, no information on the spa (special rules!), explanation on the closure of the chalet (specific), no one leaving. The scanditour person was just there on Friday morning to handle the additional excursions..
If you're a couple looking for a quiet get away in a beautiful snowy location then I definitely recommend coming here, especially at the beginning of December as we were almost the only people in Luosto the week we went! We were told by locals that people do not normally visit until the week before Christmas which meant that it was extra peaceful and secluded and for many of the excursions we went on we were on our own with the guide. This was such a bonus as the guides tailored it a bit more to what we wanted, and spent more time on the things we were interested in. The people in this area are so friendly and helpful, we did so much during our time here including lots of snowmobiling, ice fishing, husky sledding, visiting a husky farm, reindeer sledding and much more.
Luosto is definitely worth a visit if you want to stay in a peaceful snowy part of the world with beautiful scenery, and Scandic Luosto is a great place to stay if you want a lovely cosy log cabin secluded in the forest, nice food, friendly helpful locals and the option to do some amazing, unforgettable activities such as husky sledding, snowmobiling through the fells and snowshoe trekking to see the northern lights.
We stayed in the log cabins a short walk from Scandic's main restaurant & reception. We loved it! It was really cosy and we had a log fire. I would love to return... but these holidays are by no way cheap!!! We live where snow is a rarity so the treat for the kids was even more special. We were also really lucky to see the Northern Lights!
The cabins have an open plan living room with log fire, built in beds, table I chairs and a small kitchenette. We only used that to boils a pan of water for hot chocolate, tea & coffee. There is a wet room shower room, and also a private sauna, which is great for defrosting toes!
Theres a handy drying cabinet too for the all in one suits (we rolled around in the snow in) we were issued with to keep us warm in the minus 10 temperatures.
The food in teh Scandic Restaurant was pretty basic, but tasted lovely. We never left hungry, and the kids found things to eat also. The prices of drinks though being Scandinavia is high. £5 a pint of lager, and we skipped on the wine at £30 a bottle!
It was an organised tour we were on and we were ferried around in a coach looking for Santa (singing a cheesy but entertaining song in between stops.. well, you've got to get into the sprit of these things!). We enjoyed reindeer & husky rides, and going on the snowmobiles.
Summed up: Great accommodation; magical; a little cheesy, but fun for the kids!
We paid for the husky trip which was good but was barely 1 1/2 hrs long and was incredibly expensive for what it was. It was very good but Thomson really do take the Mickey with the ridiculous price.
I would have rated this holiday as a 5 however the whole point of the trip was to meet the real santa and our girls were so excited. However on the last evening we had the supposed gala meal which was just the usual small buffet In the hotel with everyone crammed in one room. It was totally disorganised and when we did meet santa it was for 2 minutes in the room next door and was completely unbelievable. A 2 year old wouldn't have been convinced, my kids were upset and after spending all that money we were devastated.
Considering the cost and the fact that it was a once in a lifetime trip, Thomson should have done much better we were totally appalled. We could have gone to any hotel or shopping centre to meet santa like that. UNBELIEVABLE!! Thomson I would give you zero stars for this!!
The hotel we stayed in was pleasant enough, food very basic and not 4 star but the staff very nice. Your kids will basically get nothing but chicken nuggets and chips.
We had some brilliant days exploring and sledging, building snowmen and having snowball fights.
The best experience was the Huskey driving, loved it.
Thomson I'm a little bit disappointed in your exploitation of tourists. Canterbury travel charge far less for the excursions and their clients take priority at this hotel. Jake [--] is clearly fobbing people off in a bid to sell excursions by telling everyone they've sold out then magically finding more. I found it extremely sneaky. He was also full of himself and rude to us spoiling our last night and making my daughter cry. Not on Thomson, we only asked a question and there was no need to be so rude.
"Would recommend the log cabins, as very warm, self contained and added bonus of a sauna."Read full review
