Stunning location, very remote, incredible views, peaceful and comfortable

The property has a comfortable and relaxing lounge, a spacious, light and well equipped kitchen and 2 modern bathrooms. Technically it can sleep 9 however as it is only 2 bedroom I think you would feel a bit on top of one another and as there is only 1 shower I think it would not be ideal for so many, however there were only 3 of us so that was not an issue. Access to the property was via a gravel road which takes 10-15 minutes to drive down so people renting need to be psyched up for that and in an appropriate vehicle. The patio is comfortably furnished, its a beautiful experience sitting out and watching the sunset behind the mountains if you happen to get a clear and warmish night. Patio does have a hot tub however there was no water in it and no instructions, we were pretty sure we were not supposed to use it but it would have been lovely to. Nearest shop is over half an hour's drive away so you don't want to be running out of milk. Property was spotlessly clean and hosts very helpful when video player wasn't working replacing it within half an hour. Very good base from which to explore the Western fjords, would definitely recommend. We had a wonderful time there.

Nice place

Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and left in the dark so we can not comment on the property. In November the sun sets around 5 and risess around 10. We also got hit with a crazy storm so no hot tub. Now we did see the Northern Lights it was amazing, actually the main reason we stayed in this area. The building is modern and clean, very cozy in the storm would stay again.
