Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords
Opposite the quay, this handsome house dates from 1887, and it's straight off a Norwegian postcard – all gables, balconies and clapboard cladding, framed against the mountains. But inside it's surprisingly modern: rooms are light and white, with careful furniture choices, antique beds and rustic textiles, although all have to share a bathroom. Corner rooms have both space and views.
The restaurant, Martha Meidell, is the best option for dinner in town.
