    Very scenic location, and a great train ride to Flam on the famous Flam railway. I strongly recommend renting bicycles and riding them up towards the waterfalls on the service road that parallels the train tracks - that was a highlight.

    Location cannot be beaten! Wonderfully warm and kind staff, comfortable rooms and good dining. Great place to stay for an overnight stay before heading to the fjords. Be sure to inquire at the front desk about nearby hikes. Grounds and flower pots...
