This wonderful lemon-yellow hotel is the oldest family-run hotel in Norway. Dating from 1640, it's a historical treasure, packed with period detailing, lovely antiques, old-fashioned beds and clawfoot baths. There are three buildings: two historic, plus a deeply incongruous 1960s motel-style extension. The oldest part is the Tingstova wing, with four rooms furnished with hand-painted furniture.
Outside there's a lovely lawn and a garden of lilac, roses, apple and cherry trees. A formal four-course dinner is served nightly in the dining room and is available on a half-board basis.
