Used as a guesthouse for almost 100 years, this charming historic house was restored and returned to its original use by owners Jon and Hallvard in 1994. It retains the simplicity and cosy scale of its era, but is furnished with care and a clever eye for detail. The vintage furniture, period details, such as old-fashioned sinks, and slightly retro decor are great fun.
