SEVLETUNET GUESTFARM B&B

A HISTORIC AND CULTURAL FARM STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF OSLO AND BERGEN

Welcome to a family-run guest farm in the lush valley of Numedal

Amidst one of Norway’s five beautiful valleys, we are surrounded by magnificent mountains and forests, open landscapes, and deep mountain lakes. You will find us where the fjord “Norefjorden” and the river “Numedalslågen”, meets.

We offer rooms with ready-made beds, towels and breakfast in an intimate and historic environment. We serve rustic food, a tiny selection of wine, a popular selection of local beers and home-baked goods. In total we have eight double rooms on the farm.

We treat you to a dinner with storytelling about our ancestor’s life on a family farm in the valley, whilst you socialize with other guests. Afterwards, you will sleep in organic bed linen that have air dried on the drying rack outside, by the gentle valley wind.

In the morning we serve freshly brewed coffee, our breakfast buffet, that includes organic sourdough bread and organic homemade jams.

We have two cabins for six persons, one room with capacity for one extra bed. We also have two family units for 3-4 persons.

We are a mother and a daughter, the 5th and 6th generation, that runs this farm, that will welcome you when you arrive.

THE SEVLE-LOFT

Norway’s most beautiful barn on pillars?

“As a type, the long loft points back to the halls of the Viking kings. In the valley of Numedal, in the area of the small town Nore, there are three barns on pillars that all are preserved; at South and North Kravik - and at Sevletunet.

The Kravik lofts are undoubtedly from the Middle Ages, but through later additions much of the particular character has been lost. The Sevle loft stems from a later date, J. Meyer gives the year 1632, but the original solution is intact.

Like most other lofts, it was later (1798) put on stumps (pillars).”

During your stay we will gladly tell you more about this distinctive building type and the rest of the farm history. You are also welcome to join us inside the loft.

WELCOME TO OUR TINY HAMLET IN THE MIDDLE OF A BEAUTIFUL NOWHERE IN NORWAY

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
