If you're willing to spend a little more, book the cottage! The view is totally worthwhile. Wake up early to admire the sunrise and the perfectly still waters of the fjord before the boats and ships start moving. There is a restaurant at Aurland which would be enough for dinner, however make sure you bring some food along just in... More

if you are looking for a place with breathtaking views, local charm and peace then this is the place to be! we loved every minute of our stay. the tv was in english, showers very hot and rooms very well heated. Would recommend to visit the viewpoint for THE VIEWS.

When you see a photo of the fijiords in Norway with quaint red houses on the shore, think of this hotel! It was beautiful in its simplicity with views in every direction. The staff was helpful and the breakfast delicious. The owners have literally opened their home to their guests - surrounded by antiques and memorabilia. I can't wait to... More

After deciding to do Norway in a Nutshell over two days, Bergen to Oslo, we chose Aurland to spend the night. The Vangsgaarden was a perfect choice! It sits right on the fjord and includes both a small hotel and cabins right on the water. Our room was tiny, smaller even than Paris rooms! However, it was comfy, and, oh... More

We stayed for 1 night in Vangsgaarden, it was the most expensive hotel we stayed in in Norway, and it was also the worst. The location and the view are great, but the cabin is hugely overpriced and not very clean. You are asked to do the cleaning yourself when departing. It is the case for most cabins in Norway,...

Our cabin overlooked the ferry dock. You could look out of the window and see the seaweed at the bottom of the fjord. The view was outstanding, with a look out at our own private (ok not really) waterfall across the fjord. One day it rained and there was a rainbow over the top of the fjord. I was happy... More

My husband and I stayed in one of the Vangsgaarden cabins right on the water at the fjord. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and we were glad we had the kitchen so that we could cook some of our meals (which saved us a lot of money). The staff was helpful and spoke very good English, and we appreciated... More

This guesthouse/B&B is a real home from home. The place is full of history and caracter and the wecome is genuinley friendly. We had a room on the first floor and had to negotiate our suitcases up some narrow stairs. A small price to pay for being able to have a room with a view. Our room was quite small... More

My partner and I absolutely fell in love with this place. If you are expecting luxury, US accommodations, stay at a 5 star hotel in the US, but if you want a peaceful place, off the beaten path to hike, kayak, meet wonderful people, with clean, comfortable accommodations, stay here. The resort is run by hardworking, honest people, who didn't... More
