Hardanger Gjestegård

Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords


Dating from 1898, this chocolate-box guesthouse feels like sleeping inside a museum, with handpainted furniture, wood-panelled walls and cabin beds straight out of a Grimm Brothers fairy tale. Once a fruit-and-juice processing factory, it's a lovely, old-fashioned place to stay; some rooms are in the original house, others in an annex. It's 10km west of Utne on Fv550.
