    The location is great. Good sized cottage, fully equipped. Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed listening to the sea surrounded by the snow. As it was forecast more snow the host gave us their phone number in case of need during travelling.

    Very uncomplicated, no human contact necessary, very very private and relaxed. Nice, tasteful minimalist decor (in a good way!).

    We arrived just in time to meet the host, who provided clear instructions (self check-in details were sent in advance). It was nice to connect with the host compared to others. The washing machine was a huge plus; we appreciated being able to do...

    This was my favourite location on a 10 night trip. The journey is long but worth it. I only wish I had an extra night here to stop, relax and enjoy the remoteness

    Astonishing location Tidy and well appointed place Views and locality are superb Local hot open air swimming pool is a must Solitude Good value
  • Richard

    The room was modern with an ensuite that was quite small. The deck had uninterrupted views over the beach and mountains and we enjoyed this with a drink. The local pool is 5 minutes away and the restaurant which was very nice is just up the road.

    The isolation of the place; the surrounding scenery; the furnishings.
  • Guido

    This quite cottage is just in front of the fiord, with a nice view on it and on the green hills behind. The silence is amazing. And 5 minutes far from an amazing hot swimming pool in front of the ocean.
