Ulemper: Some of the staff were a little cold, though others were quite chirpy and helpful. Don't hold it against them though, they're Norwegians.

Ulemper: I didn't mind this, but just as a caveat: the Inn is a reasonably steep walk up from the bottom of the hill and could be challenging for those with physical difficulties during the winter. Taxis ...

Fordeler: Stort og fint rom. Det var ryddig og rent overalt. Husverten hadde satt fram te, kaffe og kjeks som vi bare kunne forsyne oss av. Det var heller ikke noe problem å få til en senere utsjekk.
