    The kitchen facilities are dated with some pots and pans difficult to use. The mattress and pillows in some rooms will need replacement. Would be nice to provide black out curtains or blinds to filter out the non dark night sky of summer.

    Interior design and the decoration of the house is captivating. It is also very spacious for the 5 of us.

    The Wi Fi was not working on arrival. The place needed a bit of a clean, everything felt a bit greasy. hot water didn't last a family of four.

    Nice place, it was a nice sized cottage and comfortable beds.

    Charming, basic country lodgings in tiny seaside community

    At night, even though it was summer, the wind whistled and howled through the house and the frame shook. We didn't mind - made it feel more authentic than a hotel stay. The home was clean, but the bathroom and kitchen were a little old and very basic. There was only one (skimpy) towels per person. Other sites have detailed reviews of this property, and they discuss the steep steps. I think that is a misnomer. The "steps" are really just a ladder. Not for the elderly or little kids. Even for us, it just made it a pain to come down to use the (only) bathroom. Also, if you have big luggage, it is almost impossible to carry it upstairs so we had it all over the living room... almost nowhere else to put it.

    The house was clean and charmingly light filled. It is half of a house, in a small area of about 6 or 8 homes, all of which appear to be rentals in the same style, very near the Fosshotel Hellnar. I loved all the windows, and the views of fields, a tiny church and the glacier. The downstairs was spacious and bright. We let ourselves in easily with a lockbox.

    The staircase was more challenging than I’d expected it to be, even after I’d read the other reviews. I would definitely still recommend staying here, but people with physical disabilities or issues with balance/coordination/vertigo might not be able to use the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms. We chose to leave some luggages downstairs because of this.

    Beautiful and peaceful location. Easy self-check in and out. The home was lovely, as expected, and it had everything we needed! The cafe just down the road was a great place to start our days as well.

    Dirty kitchen and very old facilities. When wind is strong, natural AC will welcome you through windows. I had to put duvets to block the wind passing the window. Stiff ladders inside to access bedrooms at second floor.

    Good location

    The stairs are very steep so if with small children bear it in mind. For us it was not a problem.

    It is difficult to explain just how beautiful and amazing the location was in words. Really well kitted out, great position with a marvellous sea view from the bed room window. Woke up in the morning and looked out onto the best view! The walks from the house are stunning and we highly recommend it to anyone.

    The steep steps to second floor (although we were warned about them and they were uniquely cut to make the steepness more ergonomic.)

    Excellent location. Clean. Comfortable. Very spacious.

    Good location. Nice kitchen.

    Nice place. Hot water and based on a to small boiler for a family. They at least need to warn us to have short showers. Takes quite a long time for the water to warm again. The place was not very clean. The rooms upstairs are small and have thin walls, you can hear everything from room to room.

    Stairs are absolutely dreadful. Very very dangerous. Be aware. In a windy day the sounds of the house crackling are soothing almost, but at night makes up for a very sleepless time. It's way to noise. Roof sound like it's gona come off at any moment.

    It's beautiful. It's practical. It's very comfortable and nice. Well stocked. Had puzzles and tea and coffee. Was nice.

    The beds are uncomfortable. Wind blows through with windows and outdoor. The bathroom is icecold. The house was not clean enough for my taste. The staircase to the second floor is not safe for young children. The check in time is very late and check out time too early.

    The house is bright and has a nice and comfy feeling about it. Quiet and close to nature and interesting places to visit.

    Lack of kitchen supplies. There was only one pan and it is nearly impossible to cook for a family with the lack of pots and pans. We were supposed to have a microwave but there was no one to be found. I messaged to property but was effectively ghosted until after I had checked out. They promised to follow up and never have.

    Great location and beautiful home
