BOOK YOUR STAY

Charm, culture and storytelling at its best. As a family of 4 with small children, we were overwhelmed with our few days stay with Gro, Margun and Bastian. The rooms were comfortable and we lacked nothing of importance. The surrounding area was full with history and you needn’t leave the property to Experience a taste of 1800’s (and in some cases Medieval) Norway. Thank you for the wonderful stay in such a special place.

Sez Kristiansen, July 2020
Location, the charm, the hosts: 10/10!

Angela, July 2024
Really great place to spend a night or two in authentic buildings. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The stay includes a "storytelling" during breakfast about the history of the location that dates back to 1632 and has been owned by the family since 1830's. And a tour in and around the old buildings. The enthusiasm of the owners is inspiring. Oh, and the sauna is also really good!!

Jeroen Krijnders, august 2024
Our best breakfast on our whole trip to Scandinavia.... Everything is delicious in this lovely historic building!

Elisabeth, July 2024
Idyllic place, and the hosts were welcoming. The breakfast was excellent with homemade bread and rolls, and the hosts shared fascinating stories from the farm's history. We also got a tour of the old buildings. We stayed in an old barn with a large fireplace, beautifully decorated. We will definitely be back!

Vibeke, September 2023
A fantastic place run by two cheerful and hardworking women! They truly put their heart and soul into making their guests feel at home. A wonderful experience — wishing the hosts a lovely summer!

Martin Rust, June 2023
Excellent breakfast with wonderful history lesson!

Eric, Belgium, July 2024
A true piece of Norway to be proud of. The breakfast was delicious, the beds comfortable and the buildings absolutely stunning! Historic timber buildings, charming rustic interiors and a thrilling true story from the past told by the warm and welcoming hostess. Excellent value for money, and ideally located for visiting stave churches, museums and galleries in the surrounding valleys — with easy access to the mountains.

Rita, July 2017
Thank you for a wonderful weekend at Sevletunet! We were a group of 12 on a company trip, cycling rail bikes from Veggli. We parked the rail bikes 1 km from Sevletunet and walked the last stretch. The experience of the beautifully maintained historic buildings, combined with great food and wonderfully welcoming hosts, made it a truly memorable trip. Highly recommended!

Frank Boge, September 2018
A fantastically beautiful place with great comfort and excellent service! The hostess Gro is wonderfully warm and always takes great care of her guests. I have visited three times now, always in connection with cycling trips. This year we even got eggs straight from the hens, just as Gro promised. Highly recommended!

Stine Hauge, July 2017
A heartfelt thank you to Margun and Gro for helping us celebrate mum's 80th birthday in such a wonderful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious homemade food and warm hospitality. The idyllic farm courtyard and Gro's captivating account of the farm's history made for a truly special backdrop to the celebration. We will definitely be back!

Reidun Ebbestad, 2020
On our way to Langdrag we stopped for a night at Sevletunet. A fascinating place with history beautifully brought to life, and surrounded by stunning nature it turned out to be far more than just a stopover. History in every wall! The hostess was very friendly and took time to show us around the medieval buildings and explain a little about how life was back then. So interesting and much appreciated.

Johannes Staberg, July 2024
What a fantastic place! We only stayed one night, but we were lucky with the weather and could enjoy the evening shelter down by the water well into the night. The main building is beautiful and steeped in history. A delicious breakfast, and it was such a lovely touch that Gro sat down with us and shared the story of Sevletunet and the legendary Sevleguten. We also got a fascinating tour after breakfast. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Inger-Line, July 2018
A stay steeped in history. Sevletunet is a beautiful farm with buildings dating back to medieval times, some of which have been converted into accommodation. This must be one of Norway's most extraordinary places to spend the night. The farm features a medieval storehouse and a barn from the early 1600s, yet the accommodation is comfortable and the hosts are warm and welcoming. I wholeheartedly recommend Sevletunet!

Vigleik M, July 2016
A beautiful farm with an 18th-century atmosphere, yet with the luxury of a private bathroom for every bedroom! Comfortable beds with good mattresses, and the first place I have ever stayed where the pillows were actually good. You will sleep well here!

Arnhild Tobiassen, September 2017
Very beautiful nature and wonderful old buildings, superb breakfast and a very friendly and welcoming hostess. Highly recommended if you are planning a holiday in Norway!

Karin Urbäch, August 2016
A historic gem in beautiful surroundings. Cosy, authentic and personal. Enjoying a homemade breakfast in a historic setting with a captivating storyteller is something that simply has to be experienced. Make sure to stop by Sevletunet next time you cross the mountains through Numedal.

Birgit Ness, July 2014
A fantastic place with a wealth of history and a touch of drama. We — six friends from Svelvik — were given a wonderful welcome with freshly made sveler (Norwegian pancakes) with sour cream and jam, and coffee. A big thank you to Gro Sevle for a truly memorable stay. We will definitely be back. Sevletunet is wholeheartedly recommended. ★★★★★★★

Per Viggo glad, July 2014
A group of 15 of us, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this place. Excellent service and delicious homemade food!

Thomas Kvam, March 2015
Exceptional. Wonderful food, a fantastic farm, close to the mountains — and the hostess Gro, a clear 6 out of 5. Strongly recommended.

Ståle, July 2018
A beautiful and peaceful setting, highly recommended. It was almost magical to have dinner in the grill cabin while the rain poured down outside. So much fascinating history in the walls and a wonderfully welcoming hostess.

Mara, August 2015
Personal service. The host had extensive knowledge of the farm and its history. Excellent breakfast. Beautiful location. Fantastic host!!

Knut, August 2017
A wonderfully cosy and charming place that I loved. A warm atmosphere with a fantastically welcoming and friendly hostess. Delicious food and great information about the area, hiking opportunities and more.

Ingun, July 2017
A charming stay in Numedal! Hostess Gro goes above and beyond with excellent service! She even prepared a delicious homemade dinner on request. Fantastic breakfast, soft beds and comfort combined with charming historic buildings in beautiful surroundings. Conveniently located along the Numedalslågen river with swimming opportunities, mountain hiking or a rail bike trip from Veggli. Gro will even pick you up and drop you off if you ask! We will definitely be back!

Merete S, July 2018
Nostalgia and peace of mind. We were 12 family members ranging from 80 to 2 years old at Sevletunet for a weekend in July. Young and old fell in love with the place from the very first moment. The adults were filled with calm and nostalgia, while the little ones were delighted by the expansive green areas, the fire pits and not least the fascinating old buildings with all their hiding spots. We spent most of our time outdoors, as everything was perfectly set up for it. We sat around the fire until after midnight and felt the tranquility wash over us. The food at Sevletunet was also wonderful — many of the ingredients were locally sourced, and there were so many exciting and delicious flavours. Finally, I must mention the warm and generous hosts who did everything in their power to make our weekend truly memorable — which it was. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for something a little special and a place with real soul. You will absolutely leave with a warm feeling in your heart.

Gunnar, July 2013
Warm hospitality and a wonderful atmosphere. A fantastically welcoming hostess. Comfortable beds. A genuinely charming and authentic setting.

Arne, September 2018
Warm hospitality in beautiful surroundings. For a very reasonable price we had a simple family room with private bathroom. Good comfort, wonderful hosts and lovely surroundings. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the courtyard while our little one ran around picking raspberries and marvelling at everything there was to see. We would gladly have stayed a few more days and enjoyed a quiet evening on the sofa in the outdoor kitchen by the water. Next time!

Cecilie V, July 2018
Had a wonderful weekend at Sevletunet. A homely and warm atmosphere. A skilled storyteller — very entertaining to listen to. Thank you for the excellent service.

Torill Engrønningen, July 2016
Charming B&B with a personal touch. A very service-minded hostess. Stayed in the old post office — a large room with bathroom. Excellent breakfast.

Eva, July 2018
Comfort and ancient history. A wonderfully warm atmosphere in historic buildings. Hostess Gro goes above and beyond to make guests feel at home! Fantastic breakfast, excellent location, charming surroundings, soft beds and a delicious dinner available on request!

Merete, July 2018
The wonderful, relaxed and homely atmosphere. Truly warm and friendly service. Gro took her time to tell us about the family farm, Sevleguten and other fascinating stories. The food was also excellent, and everything was clean, tidy and welcoming throughout.

Lasse, October 2017
Celebrated my 60th birthday here at Sevletunet with my family. Highly recommended. A wonderful experience for both the children and the adults, staying in these beautiful historic buildings. Lovely outdoor areas and warm, welcoming hosts.

Ingun Bjelle, July 2014
A place with soul and many fascinating buildings and stories. A wonderful place full of atmosphere, with a fantastic room and breakfast.

Kjell, September 2017
A unique experience in beautiful surroundings. Stay overnight on a medieval farm and hear the fascinating history of the estate from Gro Sevle, who owns the place. Gro is incredibly hospitable and helpful, and makes you feel truly welcome. The farm has several lakes where you can go fishing.

Niels Ellekrogh Weldingh, august 2017
A wonderfully cosy place with beautiful timber buildings. The jewel of the farm is the old long loft, which the owner is happy to show and tell the story of. In the main house we slept very well in comfortable beds and enjoyed a delicious breakfast with local touches. The bathroom was spacious and had everything we needed. Recommended for those looking for a peaceful and historically rich overnight stay.

Kristian Neset, July 2024
Sevletunet offers something truly rare — an exceptionally personal touch, with hosts who look after you from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. The atmosphere of the farm makes for a truly memorable stay. Harmonious. Perfect to combine with a rail bike ride along the Numedal railway line.

Kari S, July 2021
We had two wonderful nights at Sevletunet with friends. We were given a warm and personal welcome by the hostess — which perfectly sums up the entire stay. We stayed in the main house. The whole farm — every single building — transports you to another era and fills you with a sense of calm. And when Gro and Margun serve up an exquisite homemade breakfast with freshly baked bread (including freshly baked gluten-free) and a dinner made from locally sourced ingredients, it simply cannot get any better! The cherry on top is Gro's storytelling about Sevleguten and the local area. A stay at Sevletunet is worth a journey in itself!!!

Christel & Bengt Kristøen, July 2021
An incredible stay on a historic farm! Delicious food and wonderfully welcoming hosts. We were served cured meats on arrival in the evening, along with local beer and homemade potato salad. A delicious breakfast with local produce the following morning. Make sure to set aside time to hear the stories of the farm — strongly recommended!

Gro Kristiansen, July 2021
A wonderful place. Beautifully restored buildings where the original style has been carefully preserved. It was a real treat to have a hostess who takes the time to chat with guests and share the history of the farm. We also got a tour of one of the historic buildings.

Ann Elin, 2024
Very nice old farm that has been lovingly restored. The owners show you the farm buildings and have a lot to tell you about the history. Very warm hosts, good breakfast, they even prepared a vegan dinner for us especially.

Johanna, July 2024
Romantic setting, beautifully situated in green surroundings, large room, with a spacious bathroom, personal interaction with the owner. I highly recommend this hotel.

Hans, oktober 2023
Reception was very friendly by the hostess. The property is run by mother and daughter. They do everything they can to make you feel better. Dinner was delicious with traditional Norwegian dishes served in the large dining room. Breakfast was fine. Rooms beautifully decorated with historic furniture. The area is beautiful. After breakfast the hostess told the history of the former farm and we got a tour of the historic buildings on site.

Sylvia, juli 2023
Accommodation in an old house with soul! Incredibly pleasant host and interesting conversation during a delicious breakfast. Clean and nice and good beds.

Ann-Karin, juli 2023
We loved to swim in the nearby river. Good place to relax.

Christian, Germany, June 2024
Extremely picturesque location with ancient buildings and modern bathrooms. We could use the BBQ hut and the beautiful garden. The stories the landlady told were very thrilling. One of the best location on our Trip with 6 motorbikes!

Peter, Germany, June 2024
Breakfast was excellent, hospitality exceeded all expectations.

Wendy, United Kingdom, July 2024
We visited Sevletunet for one night in July 2020 and were absolutely delighted! We came here to relax and get away from it all, and we are so glad we chose Sevletunet. The farm is fantastic and the family who runs the place are incredibly helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended. We grilled dinner outside and had breakfast together with the other guests in the main house. The breakfast was excellent with a great selection, and we enjoyed local stories and the history of the farm while we ate, before being taken on a tour of the grounds.

Dina Emilie, 2020
One of the most extraordinary places I have ever stayed in Norway! What a charming family farm, and what incredible hospitality Gro and Margun offer. The place is steeped in history, and a genuine sense of calm washes over you when you are there — surrounded by beautiful nature and wonderful company. Wholeheartedly recommended!

Ida, 2020
14 good friends visiting you 23rd–25th August 2019. Fantastic food. Fantastic clean, beautiful and cosy rooms. Fantastic guiding and storytelling about a truly fascinating place. Thank you so much, Gro.

Nils-Thore and Gro Skinstad, 2019
We only stayed at Sevletunet for 1 night due to our travel arrangements, but we wish it could've been more. This place has so much charm. Our bedroom in the main house was clean, spacious and cosy. We were greeted by the 2 hosts Margun and Gro who made us feel instantly welcome and at home, served up very nice typical Norwegian foods, prepared the sauna and shared the stories of Sevletunet. I hope we can come back in the future.

Pippi Elliott, 2019
A fantastic place with top-notch service. Plenty of space for the children to play. Exquisite food and excellent local beer. The storytelling at breakfast entertained both young and old alike. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
