    Likte veldig godt låven med oppholdsrom. Koselig. Vi var for oss selv, hadde med 2 hunder, de gikk løse med oss. Veldig hyggelig vertinne.

Sønstebø is nicely located on the north side of the Bø River. We have a large garden with swings and trampoline, fruit trees, berry bushes and vegetables. Cat, hens, and goats/sheep and horses in the harbour during periods. House with one bedroom : Fully furnished, private bathroom and kitchen in the house. Own terrace. The cabin: This is a leftover storehouse from 1626. It's not inside isolated. Bathroom and kitchen are in the barn, about 50m away. Bathrooms/kitchens are only available to you who rent the storehouse during the given period. In Eldhuset we have an old wood-fired bakery oven, and it is possible to bake bread or bake pizza there on a closer date. Bonfire pan and hammocks in the garden. The house is 33 m2 and is completely renovated in spring 2018. Here is a new bathroom with heating cables, bedroom with comfortable double bed and living room/kitchen where the sofa easily becomes a double bed. Large decking with furniture, where you can have breakfast and enjoy warm summer evenings outside. The storehouse is 21 m2, with a spacious kitchen and a small bathroom in the barn as well. Bed linen can be rented for 100,- nkr/person and clean out costs 700,-
