Amazing property, very clean and feels like a 4 star hotel rather than a guest house. They bake their own home made bread for breakfast. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would :)

This place was an absolute winner. I wish I had more time there and in the East Fjords generally. Clean room, excellent common area, ample bathrooms, easy parking. Breakfast was ok, nothing special.

This is such a cute little guesthouse. Rooms are bright and a good size, everything is clean, including the shared bathrooms and the breakfast was delicious. We also took advantage of the walking paths along the property. Would recommend if you’re passing through the area!

Very nice property. Grounds well maintained. Staff within guesthouse very friendly.
Unfortunately, very noisy, you hear other guests yelling / loudly talking throughout the night. Although the bed/room was nice, it did have an odor.
