A quiet place near the Norwegian Sea. To reach this place is through long and winding road but worth the drive. Breakfast was good and the front desk lady was very accommodating and easy to talk to. There were sheep roaming in front of the property but never seen any getting too close to the accommodation. Must be very nice during summer because it’s a puffin area but during our stay in end of September they are all gone.

The check in went well and we took the front desk clerk’s recommendation and visited the pub down the street before they closed for the night after we checked in. It was a unique place and we tried some local spirits.

Good place to stay if in the area. Rooms were basic and clean. Had everything we needed. Breakfast was great and was a good start to the day. Only suggestion is to change the locks on doors as they are very loud and can be heard through when locking and unlocking.

Puffins Central!!

Amazing spot to see the Puffins… the staff was wonderful. It was on the pricey side. Our most expensive stop on the Ring Road by far. Very small town, not much there, except an awesome Puffin experience. That’s must be the big price tag… and it was worth it!

Ok guesthouse and the only one in town

This was our least favorite hotel during our 16 day trip. It might be the only option I town though so it’s good considering that. The rooms only have small portable heaters. The listing says there was a laundry room but it is not the case. The hotel offers laundry service but you cannot make your own laundry. Since we were counting on it, we gave them a bag of clothes anything for them to do our laundry. When they returned it at about 11pm it was still wet so we had to hang everything all across the room and bathroom. Not ideal. On top of that they lost 2 expensive wool socks (not even from the same pair). Don’t count on this place for your laundry like we did.
