Cozy place near Preikestolen

We have recently (2024) renovated the basement of the house where we live, and are now ready to welcome guests who want to visit this lovely city! We are a family of 5 with small children who live upstairs, so some sound from children's feet running across the floor is to be expected. In return, we can offer what is needed for a nice stay with great beds, spacious rooms, a well-equipped kitchen and toys/games for both children and adults.
