Dog and cat lovers in beautiful in Engeløya, Northern Norway

  Description

  Hi! We are a couple in our sixties, who live on a beautiful island in the scenic north of Norway with our sociable dog and two cuddly cats. We have various artistic passions, such as photography and painting. We have two bedrooms available in our house for workawayers, with a shared living area plus the rest of the house (unless you want to use the outside loo, then you can have that all to yourself haha ;D )
  
  You can enjoy wonderful hiking, swimming in the fjord (a 5 minute walk) and all kinds of mountain and water sports in our area. Our neighbours might say we're a little bit eccentric, but good people you can have a laugh and a coffee with 🙂
  
  We live in a traditional old style Northern Norwegian house. It's cozy and quaint, but don't expect modern luxury 🙂 Bring some woolly socks and good, sturdy shoes for hiking. We also recommend waterproof jackets and suitable clothes for the wind and changeable weather. Of course, we can also lend you some clothes for work or emergency situations. Just remember to bring good shoes, please 🙂
  
  We understand English, though our spoken English is somewhat lacking, so we could do with some practice! We're very easy-going and don't take ourselves too seriously.
