Pyhä - Pyhä luxury cottages - Searching for Santa
9th Dec 2025 departure 

Canterbury pre departure were amazing ensuring that we had our electronic tickets an kids packs 

Kids packs sent around 1 month prior to departure 🛫 to include a back pack , water bottle , keep sake journal 📓 

Now I understand why there is not too much on social media - as it’s the magic of the unknown from an adult who likes to be in complete control to letting our artic star ⭐ make all the decisions 

Snow ❄️ anxiety 😥 checking web cams hourly - weather apps - no need to the forecast was very different to reality 

Family of 4 , 2 adults , 2 children 6 & 9

Arrived at Rovaniemi airport to. A chilly -10 traveled in jeans hoodie and body warmer, kids and wife in joggers , travelled with jet2 very Christmassy check in took pictures with elf’s dedicated Canterbury check in where the magic started - aircraft crew all dressed accordingly - cold sandwich meal and activities for the kids 👧 

Canterbury’s crew met us some of the elf’s  - our seats were pre allocated and this coach then became ours for the rest of the holiday meaning you can leave your stuff and ensured that everyone do not need to dash for family seating - transfer is around 2 hours but coach as toilet on board as well as charging points

Collected suits around 10 mins prior to arrival in to resort - when you actually arrive at accom you have around 30 mins to put on and try out - we had one return but did this on your evening meal 

Our artic  star Lewis was amazing 🤩 so caring and nothing was too much trouble and made sure everyone was very festive and the famous elf song was embedded into your head 😂 

Luxury cottages also known as Pyhä parkside park was next to the family green run it was around 6/7 mins walk or climb across the ski slope to thr restaurant- 

Accommodation 2 bedrooms with sauna ! And igloo type conservatory on. The back fit star gazing 
Sledges provided 6 in each cabin

Sledging daily after our meal  2000 to midnight 

Restaurant hippohutto was à la Carte for evening  so you had a menu to choose from and was served at the table 

Again table was pre allocated for the whole stay

Breakfast- bacon , sausages , beans, toast , fruit , yoghurt, waffles , all self service 0730-1030, coffee water , tea 

Evening meals - burgers, steak, pizzas , 🍕 an amazing reindeer sauté picture on a plate type of fodder - kids , pizza , fish fingers, chips, nuggets , my kids are fussy but they were well catered for  1700-2300

Beer 10 euro, wine 20 euros , soft drink fizzy 5 euro 

Starter , main and dessert was included alcoholic drinks extra 

We absolutely loved the breakfast and evening meals 

Lunch - now this was the sticking point - served out on your activity days - limited choices for kids 👧 pasta, meatballs bread rolls our kids did not go hungry as we packed snacks but this is something that let the day down 

Now i am not going into the detail of the daily activities to keep this special 

Pick up is around 0815/0830 daily for you action packed day drop off 1630/1700

Daylight is only around 4 hours per day 1030/1330 we made sure we had head torches  🔦 as the walk back is dark 

Make sure that you also pack marshmallows and sticks - there are plenty of fire pits to toast on your days out 

Warm berry juice , water all served out on each magic encounter 

Now our activities are full to spent around 2/3 hours but also got the story behind as your chasing those clues to meet Santa

It’s all those little details that make Canterbury the operator of choice for us - sorry no spoilers but appreciate they are more expensive but you can certainly see why - this was the most magical time 🕰️ little touches - magical elf’s and artic star ⭐ 

This is a full on adventure and had very little time to relax as it was go go go !

These apartments are modern, comfortable and pleasant to live in. They are on the edge of a sensational nature park with well maintained paths through gorgeous gorges and up mountain sides.  Out of the ski season the autumn forests are silent and lovely. Most unusually, when something actually did go wrong, the management immediately and without quibbling issued a generous refund.

Walking the nature park

Salisbury, Wiltshire, England

An amazing place, perfect accommodation in a perfect setting. We’re not skiers but was lovely to watch the sking. There are plenty of walks with wonderful views. The market is only at the bottom of the hill. The pictures attacked are 100% spot on. The accommodation was spotless

Perfect
