Yggdrasil Farmhotel Retreat, Spa & Yoga

A great place to just stay and view northern lights just outside just at the farm. 10-12 rooms so very nice experience. Have restaurant that you can hide from the cold easily and you can step out to view the northern lights when they are out. FYI: photos uploaded are taken by iPhone

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

Yggdrasil Farmhotel is about 50min drive from the Tromso airport, it overlooks a fjord and is not hard to find. I rented the tiny house for myself, I had some activities planned but was looking for a quiet time out I could do some thinking and planning for 2024. The place is warm and cosy, the breakfast is excellent. The tiny house lacked some utensils for cooking and I was not able to have Wifi within which made me sit in the public areas to complete some work. I loved the woodfired Sauna. The weather was a challenge while I was there so I spend more time inside then I anticipated. It was a pleasant stay if you want to be away from the busy little city of Tromso.

Amazing place to stay if you want and need something quiet. I was with my daughter and we enjoyed our stay at Yggdrasil Farmhotel! Friendly, nice and amazing owners and staff! Nice, clean and warm cabin! Delicious food! Beautiful views! Moreover, we had nice little hiking trip to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) with a guide on the hotel premises (to the mountains). That was something unbelievably beautiful and unreal!

We had the pleasure of booking an ice bathing experience here and were floored by how amazing it was! Our guide was knowledgeable, experienced, and easy to talk to, leaving us with an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend the hotel and the experience! Just make sure if you're coming from Tromsø you coordinate with the hotel for transportation back to the city in advance or rent a car. We plan on coming back as soon as we are able!

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 is as good as it gets. Superb host, very nice room, very clean, gorgeous setting, excellent food, parking included.

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!

Possibly my favorite place I have ever stayed! Choosing a favorite part of this stay is tough - between the hot tub, the trek to the Northern Lights Cabin, the dog sledding, the cabin with a 360 view of the outdoors ...and of course the homemade food. Maria and Aven made us feel like family and were the best hosts. Incredibly relaxing and the perfect place to reset and connect with nature. Coming all the way from the US, I really hope to visit again one day. Thank you to the whole staff for an amazing experience I won't soon forget!
