Why stay here

The house stands on a working organic and biodynamic farm that makes its own cheeses and sells them in a farm shop and café. It has its own parking and a small garden, and the valley between fjord and mountains has hiking routes nearby. Organic lunch or farm produce can be arranged.

Who it’s for

Small families or groups who want a self-catering house on a farm rather than in a village.
