Fosshotel Hellnar
We checked in a day early after an abysmal experience at our previous hotel - and we’re glad we did! Beautiful location, comfortable beds, spotless room, exceptional staff, and amazing breakfasts and dinners. This was a truly memorable place.

VestMar
This is a standard design hotel room that was very large and clean. No cooking facilities. Restaurant on premises but no breakfast. Hotel owner was available and helpful. I had made a booking error and they fixed it. Recommended.
