Idéal pour une nuit
Pros:

Le cottage était propre et le lit confortable. Le cadre est très beau mais notre cottage donnait sur les restaurants ; ceux donnant sur la montagne sont à privilégier pour plus d'intimité. L'emplacement est idéal pour découvrir la région et il y a une ballade le long de la côte donc le point départ est situé juste en face du cottage.

Pros:

Mysig liten stuga

Cons:

Personalen på restaurangen vad väldigt fåordig och inte så bemötande och trevliga. Liten stuga, synd att dem inte nyttjat utsikten bättre. Lamporna utanför restaurangen lyste rakt in i stugan om man ville ligga i sängen och kolla på norrsken.

Süss aber zu teuer
Pros:

Frei stehende Kabine, Kühlschrank und schönes Badezimmer

Cons:

Glas der Türe war gerissen, checkin Zeit etwas spät mit 16 Uhr, Kabinen generell günstig produziert, es fehlt etwas der Feinschliff und deswegen ist es dann auch zu teuer für was es ist

Pros:

Ons verblijf was onwezenlijk… prachtige plek met mooie cottages maar vooral een heel grote knuffel voor de medewerkers… op de eerste ochtend van ons verblijf hoorde ik van mijn broers thuis dat onze pappa overleden was. De opvang door de medewerkers, en zeker van Adrian was ongelofelijk menselijk… dankjewel!

Cozy houses which could be even better if located in another way
Pros:

The houses were comfortable and the location is nice.

Cons:

Generally the houses should have been turned 90 degrees to be able to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately the large windows face the other houses and the road, which means everyone is looking into the other people windows. The other side, which is facing a super nice view, has only a little window.

Gute Unterkunft, auch wenn etwas lieblos und undurchdacht eingerichtet.
Pros:

Es war sehr gut gelegen. Das Restaurant auch sehr genüsslich, auch wenn es mit den vielen Cars eine Massenabfertigung war…

Cons:

Die Einrichtung könnte etwas lieblicher sein. Das Lich draussen liess sich nicht abschalten und war auch drinnen sehr hell.

Pros:

Very nice spot and the nature around it is just amazing.

Cons:

Do not recommend. When we arrived in the cottage, we saw two small bottles of Prosecco and two glasses on the microwave, no price list, no note. In all hotels this would mean “complimentary drinks “. Just to be sure, I messaged the owner to confirm… and no; it was about 50 eur for the tiny bottle, which I really don’t care about BUT the technique to mislead us into the fact that it’s offered is really not ok, it’s dishonest to trick guests to pay without mentioning any pricing.
Then, there is not enough hot water in the shower. Well they did put up a sign for that but really, after a long trip in Iceland it’s the first time I see smth like that!
Also the window isolation is so bad that we could feel the wind coping out of the windows and it was quite cold in tbe cottage.
Lastly, on the website they say there is a coffee machine but there is none in there. Oh and the pictures of the houses suggest the views are nice, except in reality all windows face the parking lot.

Schöner Aufenthalt, mit kleinen Abstrichen - im Sommer klare Empfehlung
Pros:

Tolle Aussicht, schöne kleine Cottages. Optimaler Blick aufs Meer. Es gibt Kühlschrank und Mikrowelle.

Cons:

Leider gibt es kein Teller/Besteck oder irgend ein Gefäß um in der Mikrowelle was zu erwärmen. Und das Bad hat Tiefkühltemperatur wenn - wie während unserem Aufenthalt - draußen Sturm ist. Hier sollte definitiv mehr als nur der Mini Handtuch Heizer rein. Oder zumindest die Abluftöffnung verschließbar sein. Weil dank des Windes macht sie sich lautstark die ganze Nacht bemerkbar.
