An experience not to be missed

Pros: View was spectacular. Saw sea eagles have their breakfast before we had ours! Staff friendly. The restaurant and food was lovely though very expensive.

Cons: The ONLY thing we didn’t like was that we could hear our neighbours quite clearly moving around and talking. Think there may have been activities we could have done but didn’t get any information about them beforehand.

If you want to stay somewhere a little different, but like quality touches and service

Pros: This hotel is an old fishing village on its own island, and you get a hotel transfer by boat from the dock at the end of the Atlantic road, so a great way to approach the hotel, if you are heading northwards. The short boat trip was an experience in itself. The hotel has its own pub which is very comfy and atmospheric. The set evening menu was excellent, as was the buffet breakfast, especially considering that they were catering for no more than 20 people when we stayed. All diners had sea/Mountain View’s from their tables. Our room was one of the old fisherman’s huts, which has been tastefully modernised, including underfloor heating in the bathroom. You can explore the 5 acres of the island and there are some good vantage points for photography.

Cons: Curtains in the room were not blackout, but we still managed to sleep okay.

A lovely experience and different to anywhere else.

Pros: Fabulous and unusual location. A real private island feel, lovely view in all directions. A chance to see and experience the old houses of authentic Norway. Great to arrive by boat. Very close to visit and experience the Atlantic road . Great food and wine and breakfasts freshly cooked.

Cons: Bar was a bit too rustic for me, and smelled of old fishing ropes but I guess that was the point.

adorable and quiet stay!

Pros: It is like an oasis! Definitely a place to stay if you visit Ocean Road. We were one of those oldest houses on the island and it was really comfy and beautiful. There is an excellent restaurant on the island and a Viking ship museum. Quiet place to relax and kids found this place adorable. And free parking near the harbor, to go free boat to the island.

Pros: This is an incredibly special place and we loved our stay. From the moment we were picked up on the 'viking boat', to watching the most stunning sunset absolutely uninterrupted over an awe-inspiring landscape we loved our stay. The staff were super-friendly and accommodating, the room was comfortable and beautifully furnished and the breakfast delicious.

Lovely, but don’t pick a historical room if you want to sleep.

Pros: Amazing location. An experience to stay in an historical building. The staff were very good and the restaurant was excellent.

Cons: Our room had no insulation so it was almost like being in the same room with the guests next door, who unfortunately included 3 very excited noisy teens who rampaged until after 11pm. A terrible night’s sleep unfortunately.
