If you want vibes, lights and coziness, this is your place
Pros:

I loved that its created to be magical for everyone that arrives. The twinkly lights, the vibe indoors, the music, the big smiles from the staff, the reception can book tours for you(very convenient).

Cons:

I have nothing to say here as i wanted to experience what they had to offer. A true coal minor’s cabin. And it was amazing.

Pros:

Frokosten var super. Beliggenheten. Sengene var gode. Atmosfæren på riggen er unik. Bra antall fellesbad.

Cons:

Litt vel trange rom for 2 personer. Interiøret på rommene kunne vært mer praktisk. Et ekstra sett stikkontakter på rommet.

Pros:

It was wonderful to have breakfast at the property, which was also delicious and a great variety! I loved having the restaurant and pub available on-site as well. The location is great since it is off the main street of the town but still in walking distance. And the entire place is full of a very unique charm. I'm absolutely going to be back!
