“I think its strongest suit is the location directly on Ulvikafjord with a private beach, which I found compelling. The recent updates to common areas struck me as modern while retaining a sense of old-world grandeur, and the focus on local cuisine is admirable. While some may find the service inconsistent, I believe its commitment to sustainability and family-friendly environment are noteworthy.”
