Et nydelig sted, et sted vi alltid vil huske og gjerne kommer tilbake til !
Pros:

Har vært på Walaker Hotel tidligere og opplevd den helt spesielle og fine stemningen på hotellet og ved stedet Solvorn. Hadde igjen et veldig fint opphold med nydelig mat, vakre omgivelser og et hotel med sjel. Fantastisk god service, alt gjøres for at det skal bli et fint og minneverdig opphold. Det ble det!

Cons:

NA - har ikke noe på listen :)

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.
