Oldest hotel in Norway with incredible food and lovely staff
Pros:

A quaint historic hotel in a picturesque location. We thoroughly enjoyed the 4 course dinner as well as scrumptious breakfast, and the staff clearly cared and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again if/when visiting Norway.

Fantastisk sted, atmosfære, personale!
Pros:

Veldig fornøyd med både frokost, serveringspersonalet og beliggenheten. Og kunne nyte kaffen ute i den flotte hagen var en flott avrunding av frokosten.

A beautiful, romantic place to enjoy your holiday.
Pros:

The hotel is situated in a tiny picturesque village from the late 19th century by the Luster fjord, overlooking a fantastic view. It has Norway’s best breakfast with everything you may wish, and fantastic service.

For extra luxury, enjoy a wonderful 4-course dinner prepared by some of our best chefs, followed by a drink and coffee in the garden.

We stayed in one of the modern rooms, which has plenty of space and a nice porch on the lawn to enjoy the morning sun.

This is a must see for everyone who just want to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape. It’s not cheap, but it’s with it.
