Yggdrasil Farmhotel Retreat, Spa & Yoga

This place is perfect! Every detail of this accommodation experience has been well thought out for a tranquil and cosy stay. There are multiple accommodation options, my room was in the main 'hotel' which was attached to the farmhouse restaurant and bar/sitting area. The cabins on the property looked delightful and i'd upgrade to this on my next stay. I enjoyed being away from the city and in one place where I could just relax and appreciate the silence. If you want more adventure i'd recommend hiring a car to explore as it is quite isolated, but, this was what I was looking for so it was perfect for me. The onsite restaurant cooks local cuisine and it is delicious! One of the dishes I had was farm to plate lamb and there is really nothing quite like it, the homemade cakes / desserts are some of the best i've had. The property offers different activities including a hike to the cabin at the top of the hill with a chance to see the northern lights. We got lucky on a cloudy, snowy evening and saw some lights. Either way the snowshoe walk is delightful and the cabin experience of sausages over an open fire in the cabin itself is truly lovely. The staff are very accommodating and kind and i'd recommend this accommodation experience.

short version: cozy, clean, & relaxing. Comfy beds. Good food. Great for getaways. But if you’re doing multiple excursions, the drive can be draining & eat into your vacation. Staff was friendly. Owners not so much. Detailed version: Absolutely charming! Very clean & comfy. My mom & I stayed in cabin #4 & it’s right next to the dining hall. The cabin has 2 rooms, an entryway, & a bathroom. One room had a built-in bed, nightstand, windows, & chair. The other room had a built-in bed, nightstand, windows, & another separate bed with different covers & possibly a different mattress. The built-in beds we so soft & cozy! Both rooms had small, plug-in radiator heaters & they’re super efficient! There are no dressers or cabinets for clothes so we left ours in our suitcases & put them open under our beds. There’s lots of open space under the beds (may be a nice idea to convert part of that into cubbies or drawers?). You will need outlet converters if you’re not from Europe. The bathroom has a small sink, toilet, shower, one shelf & hair dryer. Toilet paper is provided. And liquid hand soap that smells fantastic. One bath towel & one hand towel provided per guest (more available upon request). **no wash cloths** so bring your own. The entry way to the cabin has heated tile flooring which was a nice touch. No outside shoes are to be worn in the bedrooms or bathroom, so shoes are to be removed in the entryway. It would be very helpful to have a chair or bench here for shoe removal/application. There are coat hanging hooks along 2 of the walls in the entryway which was great. The bedroom doors & bathroom door all have hanging hooks on them. Thank you!!! Such a big help. It would be very helpful to have a few more shelves for toiletries and small belongings. There’s plenty of wall space in the rooms & bathroom for free-floating shelves. The dining room consists of 6-8 tables. Some are 2-seaters. Some are 6-seaters and can be rearranged as needed. Soft, relaxing music plays in the background while you’re served delicious foods made straight from their kitchen, with some of it sourced from their farm. The ambience is really peaceful. You must try the carrot cake & the almond cake. Both were fantastic!!! They have several blends of teas. Coffee & cappuccinos are available. There are some lamb skins from their own farm available for purchase along with handmade soaps, knitwear, & other items. There’s a living room with couches upstairs in that building. Outside shoes are not allowed past the entryway so it helps to brings slippers or thick socks. The parking lot designated for guests is down a significantly steep hill. Maybe a hundred yards or so in distance. Parking at your cabin is allowed only during brief moments like loading/unloading your vehicle. If the owner sees your vehicle parked outside the cabin for longer than 15 minutes, you will receive a knock on the door with a somewhat urgent request to move your vehicle. This becomes especially tricky i

Beautiful scenery, comfortable rooms, fantastic breakfasts included, friendly staff, great meals options slightly on the high side but good quality food. You will need a car to get around and lots of nearby nice locations with awesome views.

This place is the perfect getaway location in a remote Norwegian landscape. While enjoying the serenity of the region you have all the comfort you can wish for. From the warm rooms to the delicious breakfast until the authentic dinners, everything was perfectly managed by the lovely owners and their staff. They also have different options to do around the hotel. I recommend going into the mountains, on snow shoes when there is snow or make a reservation for the hot tub and sauna. They have a lot of animals that like a good cuddle and a cosy lounge area to work in or just have a relaxing rest while enjoying the views. We will return for sure in the future because we fell in love with this location!

This place claims to be a hotel. It’s an overpriced farm-stay. The dining room is beautiful with a classic view from windows to the sea nearby. that is the best feature. Food options are up to the host, who is rude (you have no choice). no prices indicated anywhere but beware - everything is charged for (you pay top dollar for a glass of unnamed second rate wine that most likely comes from a cheap box). Even by Norwegian standards, prices are high. This place may suit some. Many talk about cute farm animals. But beware - the owner allows her dog to roam at breakfast. It WILL jump up and steal food from your plate. For me it loses 2 stars for that gross and unhygienic feature alone. The room… cheap lumpy spring mattress. Nasty bathroom. No daily cleaning. No room fridge so come in winter so you can chill a beer in the snow…

Just off the main road that hugs the south coast of Kvaloya. Maybe an hour to centre of Tromsø. Enough parking for the number of cars that will be staying. Can book dinner each night, which is a simple stew of meat, fish or vegetables. Rooms are all stylish and comfortable, no TV, very Hygge!
