Nordre Ekre gard - Nedre Heidal

We chose this place a bit on random based on location and fine review. So not entirely surprised, but we did not know what exactly to expect. The hotel/rooms and restaurant are fitted into existing buildings in this ancient farm. So this is close to one of a kind. We slept in the "Loft" which is an ancient type of two-storey log building, a building from around 1600 but with a modern bath room and comfortable beds. From the outside the building looks totally old, the old door is about 160 cm (challenging for a big man at 200 cm). We had very nice dinner, a set menu (the restaurant is in old barn). Service was quick and friendly. Access is best by private car.

Our 2nd stop on our Norway vacation and it didn't disappoint. Everything here was simple, from parking your car to walking to the restaurant for dinner. Our room was beautifully kept and the accommodations were wonderful. The buildings are old but updated interior. My husband, who is 11 inches taller than me, hit his head on the door frame entrance 6 times in the first day, this is NOT a complaint because it provided us with some entertainment, just a funny comment. The food was absolutely delicious, gorgeous plating and perfectly paired drink menu. The owners/chefs, waitresses, all were extremely nice. If we ever make it back to Norway, we will make this a stop again for sure!

Vi spiste bare, ikke overnatting på oss. Hadde gledet oss veldig. Fikk en flott 3 retters meny med nydelig vinpakke til denne. Må gi trekk for kald and på hovedretten. Denne kunne de ikke lage på nytt så slapp og betale for hele menyen. Dette gjaldt en person i følget. Vi andre godtok kaldt. Men selv om kald var maten virkelig bra. Flotte lokaler som virkelig ga den bondske følsen man forventer på sted som dette. Var litt travelt på stedet denne kvelden og servitørene hadde mere enn nok og gjøre så derfor litt venting på mere drikke osv men synes de gjorde en veldig god jobb. Ett sted som vi kommer absolutt til å besøke igjen. Satser på 5 stjerner på neste besøk. Brødet er nevnt av andre gjester tidligere å det bør nevnes igjen. Nydelig brød med skikkelig smør. Anbefaller alle å reise innom her for ett måltid.

We really liked this place. The food is absolutely delicious with many local products. The chef and owner cooks really exciting dishes, well done! And the place is very special where your sleep in these small wooden houses is a travel back in time. Highly recommended.

Stedet har idyllisk utseende med flere gamle bygninger. Stedet har god mat. Serveringstlokalet er noe dystert og upersonlig.  Lokalet tjente også som resepsjon. Betjeningen virket hyggelige.

Dessverre var rommet vi fikk (Loftet) uten vinduer, og med kun en liten lysglugge høyt oppe på veggen som slapp inn litt dagslys. Eneste adgang til rommet var opp en bratt og trang stigetrapp og inn en lav dør (underlig at dette er godkjent som overnattingsrom). Dette loftsrommet anbefales ikke til noen. Det var positivt at vi ble gitt mulighet for kansellering, men det var da beklageligvis ingen andre overnattingsmuligheter å oppdrive i nærheten.

Der er synd at dette gamle flotte bygget, som antagelig er fredet og uten mulighet for nødvendige tilpasninger,  benyttes som utleierom. Jeg antar at andre rom som leies ut på gården ikke har tilsvarende problem med adkomst og manglende vinduer.

Nothing fancy going on here. Simple bedrooms in a charming gathering of Norwegian farm buildings with grass growing on top, something out of central casting. Nothing all that out of the ordinary in the Gudbrandsdal...except for the dining room. You HAVE to book dinner here in advance...really...b/c there's nothing else convenient to go. But, don't look upon this as anything except what it is: a complete surprise and a total treat. After 2.5 weeks in Norway, we can honestly say that our 2 meals with Marit and Oyving were definitely the foodie highlights of our trip. Really. And they have a terrific wine list. To top it all off, the price (and this IS Norway, so everything's relative) is downright reasonable. Go.

Les chambres de l'hôtel sont dans des vieux bâtiments norvégiens en bois, avec de l'herbe sur le toit, certains datant de plus de 300 ans. Ils sont décorés avec beaucoup de charme . Les propriétaires sont aimables et le petit déjeuner est succulent. ||Nous avons également pris le diner à l'hotel, c'était assez cher mais très bon. Mais si on veut bien manger en Norvège ( et pas saucisse, pizza ou hamburger ) ilfaut compter à peut près 60 euro par personne pour un menu.||Je recommande cet hôtel vivement !!

Le Nordre Ekre est fantastique à tous points de vue. Notre chambre était à l'étage du plus ancien des petits chalets du site. Un intérieur chaleureux et élégant, tout de rondins, d'éclairage étudié, de confort. J'ai également apprécié les peignoirs blancs moelleux, et la petite salle de bains parfaitement agencée. Le patron s'est montré plus qu'à la hauteur du site: discret et attentif, d'un talent hors du commun derrière les fourneaux. Excellent petit déjeuner, mais surtout fabuleux repas du soir: goûts purs, cuissons parfaites, adorable composition de desserts. ||||Les prix sont, comme partout en Norvège, élevés, mais ici au moins ils sont justifiés.
