Anne is such a lovely, kind, sweet and generous lady. Her house is just like my home in Norway. It is beautiful, clean and extremely warm. Unfortenately I did not see the northern light, however, I was more than compensated by meeting Anne in Loften. Miss you, Anne. More

What makes this place so wonderful is Ann Gerd's lovely, friendly, generous spirit. She seems to truly care about and be interested in her guests. She goes out of the way to make your stay special.... way above and beyond what one would/could expect. For example, she lent me her bike, made us the most delicious (and beautiful) fish stew...

Valentine's day we were for 2 weeks with Anne Gerd. The hospitality of this woman and her family is enormous. You feel at home. You are awakened by the smell of breakfast, you open your courtains and you instantly get a glimps of the snowy mountains and frozen fjord, where the eagles trace back food. After breakfast, Anne takes you... More

I stayed with Anne-Gerd for two nights which I quickly realised would not be long enough to explore the beautiful Lofoten Islands or take full advantage of Anne-Gerd's outstanding local knowledge! The house is beautiful, spotlessly clean and charming! Set over looking Svolvaer town from one side and a little fjord from the room I stayed in and the rear... More

We couldnt see any taxis when we arrived and decided we could walk using google maps. The maps werent too bad but svolvaer did not have very... More

Anne Gerd was away on a vacation during our three nights stay in Lofoten. Her son, Marius, was there to take her place in her absence. Despite looking unsure of what to do with two young (almost-helpless) travellers at first, Marius quickly gained our trust by going all out to ensure that my friend and I had the best trip... More

We were with Anne-Gerd for 9 days, enjoying 1) her incredible breakfasts; 2) her hospitality - she not only fed us when we arrived tired and hungry from the ferry, but invited us to dinner, and fed us tasty desserts in the evening; 3) her family - we had the pleasure of getting to know not only Anne-Gerd but her...

I spent 3 nights in Anne Gerd´s B&B, from August 08th to 11th, 2009, and definitely it is among one of the best places I´ve ever stayed. To me, travelling is more than knowing places, I like to know local people and learn from them. And Anne Gerd provided that, sharing her stories and knowledge. Unfortunately, she wasn´t there in...

Set in a peaceful residential district with spectacular views from the breakfast table, Anne Gerd's B&B is a real find. The living room has a cosy wood-burning stove and the breakfast inlucluded all the usual items, plus the chance to try one or two other local delicacies (blueberry compote for example). Anne Gerd couldn't have been more helpful as a... More
