The Western Fjords
In the lakeside hamlet of Hafslo, about 7km northwest of Solvorn, this swooningly pretty farmhouse stands in splendid isolation, clad in yellow timber and ringed by a white picket fence. Its 16 rooms are pretty, cosy and chock-full of charm: some have handmade beds, others antique furniture, all squeezed into the house's higgledy-piggledy architecture. A slap-up supper is served nightly.
You can also chill in the outside Jacuzzi and organise a spa treatment or massage.
