Wide windows make the fjord the centrepiece of this inviting cottage in Fister, bringing water, wooded hills and changing daylight right into the living room. Timber details, a substantial wooden table and a fireplace give the space a relaxed, traditional feel, while the open-plan living area is made for slow meals and easy evenings together.
Outside, the cottage has a large garden where you can enjoy the peaceful setting, and a swimming beach and grocery store are within walking distance. The cottage sleeps six in three bedrooms, making it a practical base for a family or a small group looking to stay close to the coast and countryside.
Ryfylke is ideal for hiking, with fjord and mountain scenery all around, and marked trails start nearby. A motorboat can be rented on request for days on the water, and the area also offers good fishing. Further afield, Jørpeland gives access to the Preikestolen hike above Lysefjord, while scenic drives through the region lead past waterfalls, mountains and fjords. Stavanger also makes an appealing day trip for waterfront streets, restaurants and city culture.
