Beautiful house, stunning views. The weather let us down on our week here, but Hygge was such a cosy, beautiful house to relax in, we still had a great week. We were a family of four and there was loads of space for all of us. Very well kitted out indeed, including an EV charger, which was brilliant. Lots of thoughtful extras including books and lots of board games.We saw sea eagles from the house (several times), hen harriers lots of times, a golden eagle on our way up up to the house, and the seals, of course. Would definitely come back.
