This was a wonderful place to stay. It was so relaxing and quiet. The breakfast was fabulous as well. I got the single twin room and I thought it was perfect for those that want a little privacy. The view was beautiful from the window. I have nothing negative to say.

Trevligt men hemsk säng!

Ett trevligt boende med mycket trevlig och serviceminded personal. Men sängarna saknar bäddmadrass så man känner fjädrarna… det blev inte mycket sömn.

Kald hytte

Bodde i en av "rekkehyttene" Ved ankomst var hytta kald. Trur ikkje det var meir en 10-12 gradert inne. Ellers et greit opphold.
