Store Ringheim

Top choice in Bergen & the Southwestern Fjords


This old farmhouse has been impeccably renovated with style, grace and supremely good taste to provide six lovely rooms. Choices include a cosy attic room, an elegant bedroom that was once the kitchen and a romantic bolt-hole in the old house that has its own stone fireplace and a hand-painted box bed straight out of Sleeping Beauty.

The nightly dinner menu (2-/3-/5-courses 415/515/615kr) is a treat, too, made with local trout and game, wild herbs and foraged ingredients. It's usually only open for dinner from Thursdays and Sundays, unless there's a full house,
