Beautiful House in a Beautiful Location

This house is absolutely superb, everything is modern and well kept, there is so much light and space within the house, and the garden has to be one of the best kept I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Roar the host was very responsive whenever we had any questions, and very polite and accommodating throughout our stay. The location is perfect - the garden backs onto a beautiful lake, the house is 5 minutes walk to a local shop and the train station, and only around 20 minutes from the airport and surrounding beaches. We have had the best holiday here, exploring nature, climbing mountains, lazing on the beach, canoeing on the lake, BBQing in the garden and so much more. I would highly recommend this property to anyone.

Offers both sociability and seclusion

This property gives choices to suit the whole group - hot tub with patio, games room, big table for meals and games - we could all enjoy together or choose to do something different. Very well equipped; we made good use of the pizza stone, waffle maker, wellies, yoga mat and candles for example. Plenty of light, good rural views (a road is visible but barely noticeable) and bird song, with peaceful evenings. Yet close to Stavanger and convenient for airport. There was something calming, comforting and lived-in about the decor which I wanted to take home with me. The room layout works well. We had a very enjoyable week.

Great Location

The apartment was in a great location, very clean and has everything you need. The only slight negative would be the blinds weren't great in the bedroom and with the long days it didn't block out the sun and made sleeping quite hard... Otherwise a great apartment!
