Marmelkroken — Hotel in Andøy

If I could leave 6 stars, I would.

Lisbeth is an amazing woman with a servant heart. Marmelkroken is a special place in a special place (Arctic Norway) run with a deep sense of nature, environment and community. This is the place to come when you need to spend time away from screens, to talk with others and be reconnected to what’s important.

We were on a bike tour when a major early autumn storm came in. Lisbeth helped us figure out the Norwegian specific ferry schedules, where the nearest landing would be and even went so far as to contact the ship directly and acquired critical information that they would likely not be able to land at our chosen destination. We were able to make the short dash to the ferry and get to Sortland avoiding gale force headwinds and rain. We avoided what could have been a dangerous and difficult ride with her help.

It’s just a beautiful place. It’s simple in an elegant way, the dining is elegant, featuring 5 star chef prepared local farm and fishing foods presented beautifully.

Highly recommended....

We learned so much about the area and what it has to offer.|The location is lovely and the GPS will get you right to the front door. |If we are ever lucky enough to get back to Norway, we would choose to stay at...

Had a fantastic stay at Marmelkroken! Lisbeth is a super owner, chef, and person! My wife and I are bicycle touring through the Arctic and stayed at her inn. The location is both beautiful and relaxing on the Arctic Ocean. A footpath leads down to the shore, which is the vantage point from which my photo is taken. Make certain you eat some meals prepared by Lisbeth. Her cooking is great, and she often includes food from the local farm. During breakfast I loved the wild berries on top of granola with fresh yoghurt mixed in.

Make sure to reserve your stay in advance. Marmelkroken is open year round, but in the winter months only by prior...
