Stranda Liabygda Church Hotels

"Simply put, Union Øye is the finest hotel myself and my fiancé have ever stayed at. The mountains, fjords, and broader landscape surrounding the hotel is singular in its majesty and beauty, and provides unequalled opportunities for exploration and adventure. For us, this included kayaking along Norangsfjorden and Hjørundfjorden, cold plunging in the fjord followed by a session in the glass-walled sauna on the dock overlooking the fjord, running / hiking in the mountains, and more. The hotel building was authentically historic and stunningly beautiful, with its historicity wonderfully captured in the decor, paintings and pictures, individually designed rooms, and the 10pm storytelling each night by a member of the staff telling the story of the hotel since its founding in 1891. The food was exquisite and over the course of four days we truly looked forward to each meal. In the interim between meals, we would talk often about how good the last one was. Above all else, the staff are utterly exceptional. We have never experienced better. Each member of staff was unbelievably warm, kind, friendly and helpful. It truly felt like you were being welcomed as a guest into a family's home, rather than just a hotel. The level of effort each member of the staff put in to proactively making our stay as exceptional and as special an experience as possible was truly something to behold. It was a true joy to spend time arou them. We were engaged here and plan to come back many times."

"A nice hotel offering superb views. Very friendly and helpful staff."

"The views from the hotel were spectacular. Pleasant staff. Parking is limited. When we got to the hotel in the afternoon we managed to find a spot but once we got back after dinner in town we had to park on the road. There was free tea and coffee in the lounge which was a lovely touch. We stayed one night wish we could’ve stayed longer. Highly recommended "

"The room was very minimal in terms of amanity. The bath room is literally a "box (container)" in the room. It is very small. Your knee will hit the wall when you are sitting on hte toilet. You have to sit diagnally so you have enough space for yuor knee! There are two single beds, two chairs and a small table in the room, nothing else. BTW, ther is no TV in the room."

"Owner was great in making us breakfast the night before, that we put in our room refrigerator, to accommodate our needing to leave before the scheduled breakfast time. "

"We loved our stay at this very nice guesthouse. It was clean, the staff were friendly, and the food was good. The location was beautiful. Thanks for a nice stay!"

"Basic comfortable accommodation, fine for one night passing through the area."

"An Excellent place to stay and visit, with Excellent hosts and a fabulous hotel "
