Hi Rosie

We have stayed their the last 3 years and back to The Finlandia on24/3 we have always enjoyed the food and whilst i agree its not the standards of our 4* hotels would be we always eat well and never eat out! Our party ages range from 9 to 45. Admittedly tho the kids do use the shop and we do take a bottle of ketcup!! Very Happy
