Heimbrygga Restaurant & Accommodation — Restaurant in Vågan

Get Rid of the Noise then This is Perfect - If Not, Avoid

Lovely host who was attentive and very helpful regarding the ferry, buses, things to do etc. Perfect location, 10 second walk to the ferry. Lovely building with character. Good rooms, comfy bed and all impeccably clean. The free washing machine is a bonus. Great lounge room to watch the ferry come in. Skrova is a much better option than the mainland. A small quaint village with a beach and mountain to climb.

The noise as noted by many others is a big problem. On Friday people were drinking in the restaurant/bar until after 2 am. All the noise penetrates the bedrooms and it's impossible to sleep. On the Saturday it was worse with music added. It's incongruous having the equivalent of a nightclub on this small island with it's authentic original housing. The point is to get away from the bustle and noise of the mainland. But I guess it makes money. Regardless, if the Heimbrygga wants to combine a bar/restaurant with accommodation, it needs to shut down the noise at an appropriate hour. 2 or 3 am is ridiculous. If nothing changes and you want to sleep,...

Canadian solo female traveler. Stayed at the accommodations 4 nights and ate at the restaurant 4 times. The accommodations are so quaint. Monica and her team are sweet and accommodating. I love the beautiful common room and the lovely people I met that were also staying there. You can hear the music from the restaurant in the bedrooms but it adds to the appeal of the place in my opinion. The ferry stops right in front which is super convenient. Bring earplugs if you sleep light as the floors creak in this 200+ year old structure and sometimes people need to get up early for ferries. Kitchen is fully equipped and nowhere on the island serves breakfast. The grocer is open 10-5 (it advertises 7pm closure but often closes at 5pm) so if arriving late bring your breakfast supplies. The restaurant is the reason I stayed here - absolutely divine! The food is fresh, lovingly prepared and the service with a smile. Highly recommend for both accommodations and dining. Be sure to check out Skrova Kayaking while here - they are also very nice people and the...

We stayed three nights at Heimbrygga and it was wonderful. The place is situated right next to where the boats stop, so you barely have to walk with your luggage when you arrive on the island. The owners are so friendly and warm, they really make you feel at home. The atmosphere of the place is very cozy and the living room has a great view over the water where you can see the boats go by. The toilets and the kitchen are very clean and modern.The food downstairs is amazing, especially the bacalao, which is served with dried fish made on Skrova. Even though the restaurant is often busy, you barely hear any noise from the bedrooms. Highly...
