Laundry wasn't done when we arrived, so we wrote a message and got ready for a hike, but he arrived within 5 minutes to provide clean things and wash old things! Everything else was completely in order when we arrived. Great service!

Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town.
Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town. Walking south along Kong Beles Veg for about 2 kilometers affords beautiful views of St. Olaf's church, the picturesque valley, the beach, the hills, and several "Swiss-style" charming old houses. A must-see is Balestrand's little beach and the deep, clear pools beside it where I sat for ages soaking up the sound of the water's tranquil lapping on the rocks and watching fish zip around way below the surface of the crystal-clear water. I even caught people swimming and sunning themselves at midday in late September! There were not many dining options post-tourist-season, but I had the soup at the chocolatery called Holmen within the main triangle of town, and though I found it overpriced (compared to prices in Bergen), it was delicious.

Our family absolutely loved staying at Frydenlund near Balestrand. Everything in the property's information was accurate. Great hosts who helped us when we had some questions, Views are wonderful and several areas in which to relax and enjoy them. Check-in was easy as there was a door code. While we would love to return to this part of Norway we would only do so if we could also stay at Frydenlund.

Beautiful location and friendly small town.
Beautiful location and friendly small town. Unfortunately it rained quite heavy in September 2019 when we were there so that we couldn't do much biking and hiking as we had anticipated, but there was still enough to do to keep us occupied the day and a half that we spent there. Dinner with a piano concert in the Kviknes Hotel was particularly memorable.

Cute town with a lot packed into a small place.
Cute town with a lot packed into a small place. Walking around town is easy. There are two grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We went to an English Mass at St Olaf's Church too. If we had arrived earlier in the day we might have had time to fish from the shores of the fjord.
Extremely friedly hostess. Truly fantastic view. Comfortable cabin. Great for families because of the farm animals.
Balestrand area offers lots of things to see and do such as great hiking, boat trips, museum, aquarium and the majestic Sognefjord.
Seriously one of the best service we ever got, the lady of the hotel (owner) offered us a ride from the ferry to the hotel. We said we like to walk, so she took our backpacks. really clean hotel and amazingly friendly service, I recommend everyone
We particularly liked the owners approach to his guests- quietly reliable, helpful, sincere and attentive.
The furnishing and paintings in the public areas of the hotel were quite unique as an historical record.
