Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords

LoginSave

An attractive option if being by the fjord is what matters. With its slate-topped gables and clapboard exterior, it looks every inch the traditional Norwegian guesthouse, but inside it's spruce and modern: uncluttered rooms, wooden floors and the essential fjord views. Rooms with balconies are unsurprisingly the best, or you can go for the riverside cabins in the garden.

The attached cafe is a great spot for lunch or dinner, with reasonable prices (mains 165kr to 240kr) and everything from soups and sandwiches to main dishes such as mountain trout and elk steak.
