Property information

Now it has been restored into this guesthouse with a rough and rustic style that makes it one of a kind, here you can find details of old times. Here you can hear the wind blowing and the movement of the ocean which makes this place peaceful. If you get to meet Thomas, the owner, don't hesitate to ask him about the history of the place, you will hear a very interesting story about the old days when people traded bacalao. Bacalao came to Norway in the late 1680's, specially in this region. People is still producing bacalao nowadays in this area and is very common product that you should definitely try.
