Ditt Hotell-dinners Galtsjon, Ronneby

Advantages: Beautiful fjord scenary, friendly staff
Disadvantages: A long way from Haugesund Town

...Accommodation in Hausgesund can be very difficult to come by. It is an industrial area with a large port and gas processing facilities that supply gas to northern europe and the UK.
