Pros: We spent 2 womderful weeks with our three children in this extremely beautiful, well equipped and cosy house with its vast garden and spacious terrace. The view is breathtaking. We went for long hikes and strolled around the nearby towns and went swimming in the Atlantic ocean. It was great! We can highly recommend this place. Knut was always extremly accommodating and helpful.

Excellent house with great view, nice interior, well positioned at fjord close to mountains & coast.
Pros: Excellently positioned. House is at he slope of a hill with great view on the fjord and a very nice terrace with view on evrything in the environment. Enough space for us 5. Very nice athmosphere x of and old wooden house inside nicely refurbished and renovated! Knut Helge Vestre is a very nice host too.
Cons: We where very happy in the house. If anything could be a bit better it would be the cooking equipment in the kitchen, like knifes, scissor, big pan, pot-lids... All the big tools like stove, oven coffee machine are very nice.

Great accommodation with amazing views
Pros: Everything was really good. Very nice and cosy house with everything you need at hand, very complete inventory. Very clean. Amazing views! Very friendly host. One of the best places we have ever stayed, we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Cons: When coming down the main road from the west, google maps doesn’t give the right directions, so we advise the host to send the guests driving directions beforehand. Some small windows don't have curtains, so during summer the bedroom isn't dark at night.

Good location great views, close to many attractions
Pros: Great view of the mountains, quiet location, the house is cosy and full of character, with lots of space, a large Veranda and extensive garden. The kitchen is well equipped as is the bathroom with a good sized shower. The bed we slept in was comfortable with useful bedside tables.
Cons: The furniture is rather old, which looks OK with the house, but is not so comfortable to sit on for any length of time. The bedrooms have just clothes rails to hang clothes on but no cupboards or draws, so we left most of our clothes in our suitcases on the floor. The bedrooms are two doubles each with adjoining single bedrooms but no doors on the Singles, fine for young families or older couples like us but I'm not sure about older children.

We loved it here, perfect for a peaceful break on the fjord.
Pros: Such a beautiful house with the most impressive view. The house is old with a lot of character. It was very clean and well presented and in such a fabulous location. We were visited by deer in the garden almost every day - so special.
Cons: Nothing bad to say.

Nice stay with two small kids with amazing views over the fjord
Pros: Fantastic terrace with astonishing views on the fjord. Good location for exploring Ålesund surroundings. Very spacious (and many) rooms. Well equipped kitchen, including an electronic grill in the terrace. Knut, the host, was very attentive and kind and came quickly to the house when we requested him to fix the grill. Our kids (3 and 6) loved the hand-made swing and all the space to play around.
Cons: The staircase joining the two floors is not very comfortable, but this goes with the 19th century house experience. Shampoo and shower gel are not provided (though I must say that the host offered to bring us some as soon as we told him about it). This is something we have found in other places in Norway, so it must be kind of a tradition, but honestly it costs nothing and makes life of the travelers much easier, so I'd recommend to change such a tradition. Careful with google indications to arrive by car because it will try to take you through a couple of car-impracticable (and I would say, dangerous) paths.

we will never forget this. what an amazing view on the fjords with a beautiful balcony. the house style is fantastic
Pros: the house and the the view on the fjords was fantastic
Cons: everything was fantastic. a small recommendation for the shower, shower was ok. Even better is to bring it more in line with the house style ( winch is fantastic).

Pros: Piękny dom, w którym właścicielom udało się wspaniale połączyć tradycję z nowoczesnością. Spokojna okolica, wspaniały widok, duża weranda pod którą wieczorami przychodziły sarny. W domu niczego nie brakowało. Dobry kontakt z gospodarzem przez booking.com.
Cons: Wszystko było idealnie!
