“Fabulous value for money”
Good sized room and very well-equipped, shared kitchen and dining area. Staff were amazing: allowing us and other guests to stay after the check out time, as the roads were closed.

“Clean guesthouse, very good kitchen and nice location.”
The accomodation is located next to the lake and is close to the ring road (but no noise). Grocery shops are nearby. The rooms are ok in size, very clean and the shared kitchen is just perfect. We have never seen such a well equipped and clean shared kitchen in all of our trips. Same is for the rooms they are all in very well condition. Parking is in front of the guesthouse, enough space for several cars.
