We had a beautiful week at Karelia, the lodge was fantastic! Clean, very well equipped for the size of the group, perfect location in Ringwood forest with around 8 amazing play areas within an 25 minute walk. Timo was a great host. We would definitely book again! Only point Iâd make if I was being picky would be the double bed in loft isnât suitable for adults as itâs a tight squeeze to get in and out but for children it would be fine and the hot tub lid was hard to take on & off.
We had a great weekend staying at Karelia. The house has great communal space for a large group, particularly the dining area. The kitchen and bathrooms are very high spec and incredibly clean which was great. We enjoyed the garden and the hot tub. Would highly recommend this accommodation. Thank you for having us
We were a family with 8 adults and 2 children in the 5 bedrooms. This property is more suited to 2 familyâs each with children. Two of the bedrooms were definitely not suited for adults. One of the bedrooms only had child size beds. Apart from the bedrooms we loved everything
It was a great location and lovely house that accommodated the 10 of us. The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed. The table for 10 was perfect and the kitchen well equipped.
Everything you need for a relaxing few days away - loved being able to walk in the woods (literally on the doorstep) but also head down to the beach. Great space for all weathers.
We had a brilliant Christmas in Karelia. Very well done equipped and perfect for walking straight from the door. The hot tub was amazing and we left feeling really relaxed. Thank you!
The cabin was a cosy haven, boasting rustic charm with modern comforts. The spacious living area, with its crackling fireplace, plush furnishings, and inviting hot tub was the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the woods.
11 of us stayed here for my grandads 80th! We had the most amazing time. We didnât want to leave. The hosts couldnât have been more accommodating and helpful! The hot tub was a lovely touch! Thanlyou for having us. We will definitely be returning!
Karelia is a beautiful cabin in a beautiful location. Close to amenities and things to do for the whole family. The children and adults enjoyed the hot tub and we couldnât have asked for a better family holiday. Hoping to stay again.
The property was lovely.we had a problem with the shower.the owner fixed it within minutes.
When we arrived there was a dishwasher full of dirty dishes.and empty sweet papers in a draw.
The bunk bed and the bed near the roof was so hot we slept on the sofas.
It would of been nice to have a welcome hamper with local items .as other places weâve stayed in have.
Also some games .cards.or books.
The hot tub was lovely.and the area is beautiful.
My family and I had the most brilliant stay here!
Property is absolutely lovely.
Every little detail had been thought about.
Would love to stay here again
Thanks all xxx
Wow what a nice place for a family gathering lovely property in a great location. Host Timo was excellent and helpful - all of our family enjoyed the stay.
The property was in a lovely location with walks directly onto the forest. Everything was lovely and clean. Lovely garden too. The host was very prompt with communication and very helpful. Would go again. Thank you.
The luxurious cabin had everything we wanted for 6 adults and 3 infants. Bedrooms well appointed, although we hadn't realised the mezzanine bedroom was above the one with 2 singles. The bunk bedroom worked well for my son, wife and 3 year old, as he was adjoining their bedroom and so felt secure. Nice to have 2 ensuite bathrooms as well as the third bathroom. Large open living space with well appointed kitchen. Pleasant wooded garden with hot tub and BBQ. Great to be able to walk straight out of the garden and into Ringwood Forest and as far as country park with dogs.
Myself and my family had such a lovely time at this lodge. Everything was perfect. It was clean peaceful and in perfect location for everything. The host Timo was so helpful and we really didn't want our time to end. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or to come back ourselves. Thank you so much for a perfect family getaway
Absolutely lovely stay at Karelia cabin near Ringwood. The cabin is just lovely. Better than in the photos. Great open plan lounge/dining/kitchen. Comfortable & warm (log burner in centre of room is particularly nice). Really well finished with 3 new bathrooms (all with well sized walk-in showers), kitchen is also newly fitted & the back deck has a hot tub. It is dog friendly. We will certainly be visiting again. Thanks you!
We are two families made up of two adults and one child and two adults and four children. The layout of the property was perfect for our group with all bedrooms just off the main lounge area. We spent 4 days at Karelia and would recommend for anyone looking for a well located, well appointed holiday let. The hot tun was a real feature, for both adults and children. It is a wonderful social space and a short wander into the forest.
