Visulahti Cottages provides a basic and somewhat modest breakfast experience. Some guests found it sufficient to start their day, appreciating the variety available and highlighting the enjoyment of having breakfast on the terrace. The friendly staff were noted for their efforts, even organizing breakfast when the café was closed. Moreover, the free morning sauna was frequently praised as a lovely way to begin the day, adding value to the overall morning routine.
However, the breakfast came at an additional cost and was not included in the accommodation price, which some guests found to be a drawback. Several reviewers mentioned that the breakfast felt overpriced relative to its quality and quantity, describing it as meager or poor for the cost. A few guests noted that breakfast was available either at the reception or in the restaurant, though one mentioned getting a complimentary breakfast after a cleaning oversight.
In summary, while the breakfast at Visulahti Cottages had its conveniences and friendly service, it did not always meet the expectations set by its price. The complimentary morning sauna was a notable highlight for guests, adding to the overall experience despite the breakfast's shortcomings.
Visulahti Cottages features a barn restaurant with charming decor that received mixed reviews from guests. While some appreciated the generously sized mashed potatoes in the evening and found the pizzas delicious and large, many felt that the overall food selection was limited and dated, reminiscent of the 90s. The restaurant's early closure was noted negatively and guests expressed a desire for more food options available later in the evening, such as a package of sausages for grilling.
Several reviews mentioned that the entire area, including the restaurant, could use better maintenance and updates. The lack of available services, especially in early June, disappointed many, as there were no open cafés, kiosks or even basic food services despite a significant number of visitors.
