Farmhouse Lodge

"It was a place to lay your head. We stayed here hoping for the opportunity of a clear sky to see the northern lights. Had a private room with bathroom. The shower head was broken. It was over priced for a three star accommodation. However, it was conveniently located for our travels. Vik is 10 mins down the road. I’d recommend staying in town or spending a little extra on a more private location."
