Hotel Overview

Rooms at Brekkeseter

There are twelve rooms in the main hotel building and twenty freestanding timber cabins, many of which have a long history; the oldest dates from the 1700s. The cabins have been restored, with the help of local craftsmen, to be comfortable and luxurious while retaining their historic atmosphere and character. Each of the cabins are unique, with many blending in to the environment thanks to their moss-covered roofs; most feature large stone fireplaces and kitchen facilities.
