    Take the fast ferry (4 hours) from Bergen and slow down and enjoy the glorious surroundings. Be prepared to relax and enjoy the quiet. We ate our meals and enjoyed cocktails at the Kviknes Hotel. We slept at the Balestrand Hotel and enjoyed the quiet.

    Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town.

    Arriving by ferry drops you at the heart of the town. Walking south along Kong Beles Veg for about 2 kilometers affords beautiful views of St. Olaf's church, the picturesque valley, the beach, the hills, and several "Swiss-style" charming old houses. A must-see is Balestrand's little beach and the deep, clear pools beside it where I sat for ages soaking up the sound of the water's tranquil lapping on the rocks and watching fish zip around way below the surface of the crystal-clear water. I even caught people swimming and sunning themselves at midday in late September! There were not many dining options post-tourist-season, but I had the soup at the chocolatery called Holmen within the main triangle of town, and though I found it overpriced (compared to prices in Bergen), it was delicious.

    Our family absolutely loved staying at Frydenlund near Balestrand. Everything in the property's information was accurate. Great hosts who helped us when we had some questions, Views are wonderful and several areas in which to relax and enjoy them. Check-in was easy as there was a door code. While we would love to return to this part of Norway we would only do so if we could also stay at Frydenlund.

    Beautiful surroundings. Very fun to travel with a speedboat combined with historical tour. Cider house had delicious food. Highly recommendable. Perfect place for anyone who loves outdoor activities and want to be in a beautiful environment.

    Beautiful location and friendly small town.

    Beautiful location and friendly small town. Unfortunately it rained quite heavy in September 2019 when we were there so that we couldn't do much biking and hiking as we had anticipated, but there was still enough to do to keep us occupied the day and a half that we spent there. Dinner with a piano concert in the Kviknes Hotel was particularly memorable.

    Cute town with a lot packed into a small place.

    Cute town with a lot packed into a small place. Walking around town is easy. There are two grocery stores and plenty of restaurants. We went to an English Mass at St Olaf's Church too. If we had arrived earlier in the day we might have had time to fish from the shores of the fjord.

    We loved everything about our stay. Our room was lovely, as was our view, even in the rain. We were able to do our laundry. Breakfast was really nice. But our host, Magnar, truly made our stay great! He contacted the car rental for us and even printed maps for the next part of our holiday! The restaurant he recommended was one of the best meals we’ve had. We will be returning for a second stay because we had such a good experience.

    The hotel is located in a most beautiful natural area. Beautiful hiking trails. The staff was nice and helpful and the breakfast was very good. The room was spacious, but not as quiet since it was located above the front entrance, where we could hear all the cars and people entering the hotel.

    Very spacious, beautiful view, different seating areas (deck, sunroom, living room), very helpful hosts, short drive in to town, better appliances than we have at home! We loved staying at Frydenlund and Balestrand. If we return to this part of Norway again, we would have to stay at Frydenlund.

    The hotel is an easy walk to and from the ferry. The breakfast room was quite loud, they did tell us in advance that we would have coffee and a croissant. That was okay. The view from our room was great.
