Håholmen Havstuer

Top choice in The Northern Fjords


This enchanting 'hotel' is in fact a small former fishing village on its own islet just off Averøy. Rooms here are 18th- and 19th-century cottages, mostly for doubles though there are a couple with multiple bedrooms, too. Some are more rustic than others, with exposed timber, but all are charming. Ytterbrugga, its restaurant, serves the freshest of fish.

Parking is on the island of Geitøya, on the Atlanterhavsveien, from where a motor boat makes the five-minute sea journey. It leaves the roadside car park on the hour, between 11am and 9pm, or by appointment.
